A good story .
It has been a while i know but please update it

'Tis the season that would be perfect for an update for this story ("Winter Wonderland" and all that), even if it has been a few years - some interesting ideas here that I wouldn't mind seeing finished at all, please!

interesting story so far please update soon.

Okay, this is getting very weird and very confusing. You're going to have to assume we know a little less about Ding's backstory, because the thing with Bordox's talking rock confused the h* out of me. Also, it seems a tad weird that Akane would have such a lenghty statement prepared for an attack she just invented (in a fit of rage, no less).

The thing with the "flans" was pretty creative, so you gets points fer that. Also, the writing itself rocked the heezie fo' sheezie. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Interesting.

Shouldn't the inside of the giant flan have changed Ranma into his cursed form? Neat attack from Akane, I can only guess she's either becoming a mage type character or she either absorbed some of Saffron's power over heat at Jusendo or turning the hot key gave her the power.

Neat chapter! It's timely, too, because my home could be described as a "Frozen Lake of Hell" right now (although it might be more of a crater, considering the drought). Anyhoo, I digress. XD

This chapter was pretty durn cool (pun intended). I loved the mental picture you painted with the glass on the picture freezing and cracking; film-worty stuff! Also, I like that the Ranma-Akane "operation reconciliation" is going gradually, which is how those things generally do in real life. My only negative quip involves the hinted-at "Ding X Kasumi" pairing. Artistic license or not, I can't see Kasumi cheating on her man Tofu.

Anyway, this is great work overall. Keep up that craziness/drama cocktail that you pull off so well! Au revoir!

I'm so happy to see Ranma and Akane getting along and cuddling. If Bordox does anything hentai when he encounters the group will Akane's Mallet of Righteous Female Wrath be strong enough to stop him?

Evil approaches.

How cute, Dragon and Kasumi. Good pairing.

Heh, heh. Not too shabby! Even though not a WHOLE lot happened, this was still an interesting chapter. You did have a continuity goof, though: when Bordox was talking with Shampoo, he was fully aware of the existence of Jusenkyo (he even sensed somehow that the Amazon was one of its victims). After Ryoga blasted him, he DIDN'T know about them ("If he had known about Jusenkyo...").

Anyhoo, great writing. Until next time, "jaw-knee".

P-chan doing the Shi Shi Hokodan was great! And I wonder what Bordox will think if he discoveres he mixed up the genders of the chef and 'waitress' at Ucchans. I wonder how much the tip is in yen, Ukyo had better ask Nabiki for help in changing it. If Bordox thinks Ukyo's cooking is divine wait untill he gets some of Kasumi's!

Ok, chapter, nothing much happened, but it was informative. However, you make the mistake of judging certain characters too much. Soun, for one, isn't quite as useless as you protray him, also, you, or Ding, whoever, doesn't seem to understand what loosing a loved one can do. And Genma, not many people realize this, but I've just figured it out, there were instances where, had he not sold Ranma for food, they both would have died. Not that he isn't a thief, but he's nowhere near as bad as Happosai.

Now, about the opening paragraph. I assume that Ding is using a European longsword (call it what you want, straight bladed, double edged, two handed, it's a longsword). Now, I can tell you don't know anything about the actual weapon. First, there is no such thing as a parry when fighting with a longsword, the sword just isn't built for that. You can displace, and cover, displacing is using your sword to move their sword away from you, and covering is using the your sword to deflect their blade.

Second, you do not feint with a longsword, at least not as much as you make it seem. You can attack one place, and then switch to another, but you do not do that in a flourish (the equivalent of an eastern martial arts kata), why? Because you don't have a target, you're hitting air, there's nothing to feint at.

Third, the term Kata really only applies to eastern martial arts, there are no kata's in western martial arts, the structure limits the "whatever works" philosphy, and the "Oh **" reaction (your first reaction to seeing a blade come at you is often the best). In western martial arts you need to be ready to react without a thought, and using structured kata's just builds a bad habit of using certain moves after certain other moves. Also, modern martial arts are a very bad example of how to really fight, why? Because they've mostly become sports, or past times, there is no real martial intent. It's the same thing that happened to fencing in europe (the noble art of self defence), before it involed almost every weapon known to europe, and unarmed techniques, but now it's developed into an asinine sport. I myself am part of a group of historians/scholars/martial artists who are trying to recreate ancient western martial arts using fighting manuals from the time when europeans still fought in full plate armor (which isn't as heavy as bloody dnd would make you think).

Also, if the sword Ding is using is heavier in his female form, then he's using a really crappy sword. A good longsword would weigh around two to three pounds, and it would be balanced so that it would feel lighter. Are you saying women can't pick up three pounds? Also, do not use dnd as source materials for weapons, they absolutely suck. They say the greatsword weighs forty pounds. NOpe, it weighs between five and eight pounds, at the most, and they were also balanced. The guy that started dnd thought they weight fourty pounds because he only had ever seen ceremonial weapons, which were bigger, thicker, and horribly balanced, compared to weapons you'd actually fight with. Let me ask you this, do you really think people in medieval europe were stupid enough to use something they couldn't lift to fight with? People make that assumption too often. There were people back then that were most likely smarter than you and me put together, the only difference is that they didn't have as much knowledge back then, but they did have common sense. Ie/ a heavy weapon will get you killed. Also, longswords can kick katana butt, why? Two edges people, they have two edges and you use both of them.

Anyway, if you want some more accurate information about european swords, go to and if you weren't refering to a european style sword in your fic, then trust me, the opening paragraph is even more inacurate. There is no other type of sword in the world that could even remotely be seen as being that heavy. Well, htat's me out.

All right! This is much more like it. I really enjoyed hearing Ding's backstory, and it was interesting seeing how the sword (and therefore Ding) views the Ranma cast. Also, I notice that DD's grammar is back to normal. Thumbs-up for that! For what it's worth, go for something entirely off the wall and have Azusa Shiratori chase Ding (yet another victim of her "cuteness collection").

Anyhoo, I have renewed faith in this story. Keep up the fine work, and you have a nice Thanksgiving as well!

Sigh... man, I know for a fact that you can do better than this. Much as hate to say it, you're proving "Really Bad Fanfiction"'s review right.

Where did Happosai get a bucketfull of "Spring of Drowned Man"? Did he buy it a 7-11, or was it ordered on eBay? Furthermore, WHY did you bring in an extra curse to begin with? Just because it worked for Ryo in "A Different Side" doesn't mean that it should automatically be done for Ding. Next up is Akane's logic. No matter how you phrase it, "P-chan disappears into closet = Ryoga is P-chan" doesn't make a lick of sense. Finally, since when did becoming a girl affect one's grammar? Look at how Ding talked before and how he was talking with Ranma, and you'll see what I mean.

Overall, this was pretty bad. I hate that this sounds like a flame ('cause I generally enjoy your writing), but this just wasn't up to par with your usual. Maybe the next chapter will be better...
