I have never before in my life sent a flame, but this deserves it. I do not understand what you were thinking, but I am sure that you fell into te same spring J.K.R. and Bakamoto fell in; Spring of drowned Story Destroyer. You tarted out decently, and your writing style itself is pretty good. But then, while you were building up Rama's character, you kept beating him back down, just so you didn't have to think about how to evolve his character further. THen you give him a spring curse,you keep making it so that he can't be cured ofit, you keep turning him weaker and weaker, the people around him stranger, the situation FORCES the story into an unnatural evolution...in other words, every time you have the chance of saving it, you deliberately turn away, making sure that your readers get a glimpse of what it might have been, could have been, only to laugh in their faces as you further destroy everything they might like and might make this story good.

They should ban you from any typewriter, computer or even pen and paper that you might get your hands on. You are only one step up from a total YAOI fanfgirl. An untallented one at that.

To me, it is no surprise that this story, despite it's length and time t has been up so far, has only gathered a bit over 200 reviews. Most stories of this length are in the thousands, even only half-decent ones.

This has been my very first (and likely one of only very few) flames. I took no real joy in it, but I felt it HAD to be let out, as it was trully physically making me feel ill as I forced myself through this third chapter, hoping you might save it somehow. I think I faired quite well as I already felt that the second half of chapter 2 was horrible. THe moment you added Rana's Jusenkyo curse it started going downwards. I felt it a bit before though, with Ramna's blatant disrespect. Addmitedly, he is crude, but after all that training with Julia he should be at least a BIT better than that...

Great story CRose, I like the work you've done since I last read when you were finishing the Jade arc which is always fun to reread ^^ Hope your inspiration is still continuing with this story and will see future works. Thanks for all the effort you've put into this fanfic.

Aww was hoping Gina would be a Ranma groupie. :'[ I never liked Ryan as he'd always portrayed a bit annoying. oh well, another great chapter. Off to read more.

I'm still hoping Ranma will get a romantic interest with one of the girls. I mean sure it's more Gold Digger like if he just randomly sleeps (or be forced into sleeping) with any number of girls but I still hope he actually kind of likes one of them. It feels more Ranma like when Ranma has someone to care about in the romantic sense. Well, time to read more to see if my wish comes true.

Another good chapter. Hmm, curious, I have no clue where you're going with this fic. It keeps me interested though since now I can't second guess you. "What's gonna happen next?" is what I keep asking myself!

Sheila seems to be a common pairing in Ranma/Digger crossover it seems. So is Brianna. Well anyways another good chapter. I hope Ranma does get into a romantic relationship with someone as it helps develop him more as a character.

Wow, confined in a room with your worst fears and you have to either pass or die. That's got to suck. :x A relatively nice chapter and definitely right about the whole Ranma losing a lot bit affecting his outlook. I can easily see that happening after everything that's happened. Good development as well.

I felt that Ranma accepting his girl form and neko version a bit too quickly but when he awoke it also seemed like everything that happened in his mind didn't happen. His aversion to his girl form was quite drastic when he woke up. Well, overall still a great chapter. I wonder if you will introduce the other Ranma characters eventually as only Cologne and Ryouga have really been mentioned. (oh and Genma of course)

Yeah was wondering when you'd give Ranma his curse. If it wasn't the spring of drowned girl Ranma just wouldn't be Ranma. Another great chapter no complaints.

Great fic. One of my favorite Ranma/Gold Digger crosses. Also quite well written minus a few spelling errors.

I'm lost of words. Your Story is more than Fantastic. Please continue it as soon as possible.

Since when did Ashaton turn into a wererate. I know he is a werecheetah after the Ray thing happended but is going on with that?

I LOVE your story! ^_^

I have to say I really like this story a lot. The Jade-war part got a bit out of hand as you mentioned, but overall it was interesting. One thing I like is that you take your time with things and let Ranma work to build up his powers, techniques and so on.

On the other hand, I can't say I'm too enthused about the whole magic thing. I mean, it works well in the story and all that, but it just seems to overpower him a bit. Especially if you consider that he's just learning it and hasn't really mastered it yet. Granted, I assume he'll still be spending most of his time on martial arts, but the magic just seems to give him an out when I'd rather see him deal with things with his fighting abilities and inspiration. It's a matter of taste I guess, but that's my opinion.

Also, it sometimes seems you make Ranma a bit whiny, the "everyone's kicking my butt" angst gets a bit much at times. I can understand it and it's certainly in keeping with his personality to a degree, but to read it again and again and again...As I said, for me it's a tad annoying.

One final little nitpick is in the last chapter you have it be his 18th birthday, but he was 16 in the first chapter. Since only 4 or so months have passed that seems like a bit of an oversight, unless Ranma didn't have any idea how old he really was. A possiblity with Genma as his father.

Anyway, I hope you continue with this story as I'm looking forward to reading more. Thanks for your hard work!

Hmm kind of like this fic, but it seems to really not be going any where. Despite all the wierd things happening with Ranma, he continues to get his but kicked left and right. He has no real relationships to speak of. He continues to be manipulated by the Diggers instead of improving in any way, and was more or less rapped by Bri. I think all the casual sex, and total reguard to feelings or emotions is really dragging this fic down. Little more then lust takes place in this fic, and it is taking up a lot of this fics time for little gain. Very little on the romantic side has taken place after all this time for Ranma, and no matter how harsh the training or what Ranma learns he seems to still get his butt handed to him in his next fight. All which has been causing him sevre depression for several chapters now, which no one seems to want to talk to him about. The begging the story seemed to have real drive and purpose, the Diggers really cared about Ranma. Last few chatpers though, they have all pretty much started to manipulate him and use him in ways little better then hiw pops did.
