love the story very intriguing, please update would love to see a concusion to this story, is ranma really just actress Hayashibara Megumi, or Saotome Ranma?

Heh, very nice serious-fic. Very well done, and has very deep and interesting interpretations, perspectives, and symbolism.

Oh and if you want more reviews I suggest doing a crossover, they never fail to get 10+ per chapter.

On the subject of good crossover fics I've checked you profile and *gasp* I've found no favorited story by Jeffrey Vasquez?! For shame! His ff[dot]net user id# is 72474, so you best get to reading... He's like better the Ozzallos, good.

Yes I'm reading it.

You're an extremely good author and with my focusing mostly on Ranma fiction it's a wonder that I've never read your work until today.

ok now im confused. It felt like I just skipped chapter 3and went straight to chapter 4.

why isnt ranma at the hospital?
Why is minami calling "megumi" ranma? why would she encourage her fantasy?

right now it feels like I dont know what is up and what is down, really, my head is spinning.

great job, its a wonderfully confusing work but i like confusing
i do have a question though.
how do you playgerise someone by wrighting a story befor they do?
keep up the goo work

I love it. I find it cute how Ranma/girl makes a reappearence. just one question IT IS RANMA RIGHT and where's Megumi in Ranma's world? please keep writing this story I love it. Any other character going to show up.

Very interesting story you have here, I think I have seen something similar to this general situation before except that Ranma only visited the "real" universe for short time before being transported to an other universe.

You have a masterful control of the English language and I commend you for that, however, the first chapter of this story seems a little disjointed. Although this seems purposeful, so that the reader can feel the confusion Ranma is going through, it may have lost you some readers who only skim through the first few paragraphs of a story and only continue if they are hooked.

Otherwise, you have a terrific story here and I hope that you update soon.

My god this has got to be the strangest, cleverest, most out-of-the-box thing I've ever read.

I think the problem, however, is that the first chapter was a bit difficult to understand, but I stuck with it. I'm fascinated with this idea, and I hope to see where you go with it. I look forward to reading more of it soon.

And by the way, you have my deepest sympathies with regards to your parents forcing you to choose a career path you don't want. Appease them until you're 18, but then *get the hell out* because you'll never be satisfied with yourself or devoted to your path unless you're pursuing the one YOU created, not someone else's. Good luck.

I cannot believe why these comments are so dang harsh. YOu are a GREAT writer and I had to write a review, because this story has so much potential. Write how you want to, and know that I will always be a fan of your work. Pls update i've read so many Ranma fanfiction, but yours is one of my favorites. :)

I tried reading it. Then I stopped. Then my friend said 'keep going'.

Can't say I like the 'delusion' angle, but as a study on what Ranma would do in exactly this situation, I suppose there's merit to the story.

That and I always like seeing Ranma making positive steps, even if this Ranma is a delusional persona created by a dying mind.

And I'm tired. G'nite.

LATER

wow. I haven't seen this much psyco babble type stuff since watching an episode of Lain.

I LOVE IT!

Keep up the great work. I'd complain about something, but I'm too busy dissecting the sub messages and twists and other cool stuff.

Dear Krimzonrayne (Or K),

Seeing as how you're going to be attending the Nerima Fanfiction University, I decided to give you a small teaser in the form of a review on what exactly we're going to be teaching. Starting with a review of your story.

First off, a general outline of your story.

Ranma starts out by having a nightmare where he interacts with his other self. Okay, I can follow that. It's pretty standard.

Now we go into the veritable "real world" where Ranma interacts with everyone normally, but behind his back everyone is acting out-of-character and hiding something from him that everyone else knows. Hm.

Finally, just as the "anime world" is coming to a close, we cut to a scene in the "proverbial shadows" to two people aruging over the Ranma series, or something like that. I'm unsure as to what they're arguing about. Eh...

Then, Ranma Saotome wakes up in the "real world" in the body of the actress that plays him. Now we are getting somewhere...

The point is, your story is incredibly confusing with more foreshadowing and plot twists than a mega-crossover. Seriously, you could have just kept the premise "Ranma suddenly finds himself in the body of the actress who plays him" and that would have given you plenty to work with right there.

Instead, we have several confusing and seemingly out of place plot twists that really don't do anything to help the story along.

Let's take the scene between Nabiki and Akane. They are deffinately acting in an OOC way and hint at a greater plot device, but when you make your jump to the "real world" the whole anime universe becomes seemingly irrelivent. So why are they OOC? Let's move on.

Then, after the words, THE END we cut to a place, presumably Megumi's mind, which has been harboring the spirit of Ranma, somehow, and female Ranma is insane. Then she takes over Megumi. I think.

It's all well and good to have plot twists and unexpected turns in the story, but its right about here that you get really confusing. You have a dream sequence at the beginning, which appears to do nothing rather than start the story, then you have an insanity scene right after a fake wedding? Hell I don't know.

I'll be perfectly honest with you. I re-read the story a couple times and I think I have a pretty good idea what's going on, but I don't think many other people would. My only suggestion right now would be to cut down on needless filler, and keep yourself to two different dimensions. The anime dimension, and the reality dimension.

Sincerely,

Well I don't really know what to say about this story yet. It seems to be going well and it is pretty original. I am a happily ever after person lol so well just have to see.

wow... i must say, this is a real gem. hehe. i like the way you kinda point everything out at the end of each chapter... though i caught a good portion of what's going on, still it's nice to know what i got right/might have missed.

looking forward to what you got for the fourth chapter...

till next...
