abuseExcellent story! Good plot and writing, good job on Ranma's character. Is there is sequel in the works? In any case, thank you for your efforts.

abuseThat was a fun little fic. Thanks for sharing it!! It's rather rare that Ranma gets paired with a canon female other than one of his fiancees. In fact,I believe this is the first time I've ever seen him paired with Kiima, and you did a wonderful job with it.

Yes, there were occasional grammar mistakes, but even those were fairly sparse.

That's about all I'll say for now. I definitely look forward to reading more of your fics in the future.

abuseI somehow missed the last two chapter, and only discovered them today!

I have to say that I thought that you would end the story with Kiima taking on the task to tell young phoenixes the REAL story of Ranma, because, as she realized herself, the Warden legend told NOTHING about Ranma, and his memory would fade, otherwise.

His resurrection was a funny scene, and I agree with you: in this case, he WOULD mutter about them taking that long, instead of simply being happy to be alive again :-)

This was a good story, and I'm happy to have gone through my stack of old fanfics and discovered you finished it.

Thanks!

abuseI had a lot of fun reading this fic. It had a compeling story that was hard to put down. It was a good mix of humor and action, romance and angst. It did a good job being epic without being a 50 chapter story. I would recomend you give it a try.

*spoiler alert*
While it was fun, it did seem rushed. Which in part is due to the low chapter count. Ranma's excile from Nerima worked, but felt forced. I'll admit that getting Ranma out of nerima is probably one of the biggest hurdles that a story must overcome, so I'll cut you some slack.

Having Ranma turn down a gift from the fish dragon and getting kicked out of heaven more then made up for it. I laughed for minutes when he came back.

Thanks for writing it, I loved reading it.

abuseWell, I finished reading this months ago, but I got interupted before I could finish my review, and never got around do doing so.

This was a great story, and one of the better fanfics. The only surprise was the end. I expected Ranma to either survive and marry Kiima, or die and ascend to godhood. Your ending, while somewhat fitting, was a surprise. I wounder if he really is mortal, or if he's a god but just doesn't know it.

abusei liked this story, but it did leave me wondering. what happened to the phoenix woman that ranma rescued? she just kinda fades from the story with no explanation of whether she is able to fly again or becomes landbound...

abuseOK, I just posted a list of "fanfics that make me cry" at and now you make me revise the list!

I was very impressed with this story. Definitely epic in scope, if not in length. Thank you for this very fine work.

abuse"crossing my arms under my breasts." ? You are such a man. You would never write "crossing my arms under my pecks." now, would you?

And okay, I guess calling this an epilogue works because you changed who was telling the story. And it was great that you did that because it was very nice to see his 'death' from Kiima's perspective.

Re-writing the fic from Kiima's perspective would be cool actually, then you could put in Ranma's adventures in Heaven as the epilogue. A nice mirror image.

The fake out was nicely done. I didn't fall for it, because I already knew (see: your's Author's Note. And by the way, why do you always blame ME for your writer's block!?!), but if I hadn't I probably would have.

Great fic, sad to see it end, happy that you finally finished. Savvy?

abuseI think you're confused by what an epilogue is. Epilogues are removable, but something tells me this one isn't.

Anyway. It's been over a year you jackass! I'll let that go, because there were so many spelling mistakes at the beginning that all my rage has been directed there. You really need to do a massive re-edit on this thing now that it's done.

So the chapter was great, the fight was great. Very brutal. All that blood kept making me think back to yesterday. Made me dizzy. Haha. Okay, I'm gonna go read your mislabeled epilogue.

abusedamn. I liked it. especially the part when Ranma comes back. When I read that, it had the same feel as reading a bit of humor from a Terry Pratchett book. well done.

abuseThis goes on the "Holy crap" list.

I LOVE this characterization of Ranma, it's like everything I love about his character in text form.

He's unflinching, unrelenting, unstoppable, and he knows it. He doesn't lose because the thought of losing doesn't even cross his mind. He defends the weak at any cost, defies the gods, and denies fate simply because he's Ranma Saotome and that's what he does.

My "pumped up" meter is totally maxed. Whoo!

abuseTruly, a most astounding tale. Worthy to be remembered and retold now and anon.

It bound me enough to read it from the first to the last word without pesky interuption.

Thank you for telling it.

Now i'm off to peak at your other works. Keep up the great work
