Excellent.

Buffy trying to keep things simpler than they are instead of dealing with the complexities is.. ranma-esque.

I hesitate to think what'll happen when someone finally calls them on it.

Very nice, though I won't add to favorites yet I'll watch this story and see where it goes (to many people abandon their stories at this stage for me to add yours)

Hilarious to a fault. Great concept, just get Ranma turned back into a guy soon so more hilarity can ensue, and bring Ryoga into the fray.

Very good job on the story so far, I hope that you'll be adding more soon.

-Any chance of Xander joining the traing trip?

I think that its funny anyway. So what if its "Out Of Character". Sometimes canon is just used to stifle creativity by the critics. All you have to do is not read it if you don't like it, or, be a little more subtle in recommending a good read or watch, as the case may be. My big hang up is where someone cures Ranma early on, but I won't biyatch or flame about it.

Enjoying the story, I find it more funny than serious. Keeping this in mind, I am not making a big deal out of characters not being in character. Noticed a glaring grammar error in the story, "A very long serious of numbers and a short wait later...," fairly sure you meant to use series not serious. Not a big deal, just thought I would let you know if you want to correct it. Liked that Ranma was looting the vampires. Always thought it was dumb for characters in the story to whine about being broke, even after wiping a den of vamps. Why would you leave things for the next group of vamps. Looking forward to the next chapter when you can post again.

Since when Ranma's first thought upon seeing a feat of superhuman prowess is to assume that the person performing said feat is not human, rather then consider them a martial artist like him? And what's with this inquisitivness? Ranma is a pretty laid back fellow concerning many things, and his curiosity is an idle one - or at least it was.

What are the odds of Ranma encountering a half-demon chineese amazon in Sunnydale? I'm not buying it, and saying she's a bloody spy. Kill her, Buffy! It'll make you feel better after being displayed as a... not-you, at the very least. Really, what's the purpose of this 'Jenny'? You should flesh out existing characters, not bring in new ones. Your Willow is made from cardboard, and you're making OCs? What freakin for?

You know, I don't even want to sift through your fic looking for inconsistencies anymore. I wouldn't mind Genma licensing Ranma to teach (it's Happosai's prerogative), I wouldn't mind some people behaving and speaking not like themselves, I wouldn't mind Giles almost refusing to acknowledge Ranma as a son/daughter... But I do mind that there are no insight into their actions and decisions, I do mind that there are no feelings and thoughts presented, and I do mind that they are acting out of character for no apparent reason I can see.

You should consider this. Look into Points of View (which you severly lacking in), it may help you a bit. Think about creating an atmosphere, something to fill your fic with _something_ tangible beside an idea of cool crossover. Heck, maybe you should rewrite some things entirely? Don't mean to sound harsh, don't mean to preach, but it saddens me to see a great idea slip away into mediocrity. Hope my review helps. Good luck.

Wouldn't it be better to get the characterisation of the main cast right rather than introducing OCs?

I mean, we didn't "see" Oz till he reacted to the (ridiculous) comment of Buffy.
And Buffy must be under a spell or something - perhaps the reversal jewel? I can't explain her attitude any other way. As a reviewer on TtH commented, she's the poster child for giving demons a chance and rather level-headed. And I still maintain that Faith (who's the council-trained slayer) actually had her reservations about the relationship of Buff and Angel and wasn't at all demon-friendly. Perhaps a body-switch that happened earlier than in canon? Hmm...

In your author's notes you said that the Buffy-bashing was at an end with this chapter. Seeing as you didn't have Buffy, but rather an impersonator who looked (but didn't act) like Buffy in the story so far, there may be hope yet. Eagerly awaiting the next, supposedly normal chapter. Let's give this a chance at explaining the critics' points.

Thanks for writing.

I would love to read this story because I thought it would be a good crossover. Chapter 1 was a bit of a letdown, chapter 2 even more, but chapter 3 is where I'm going to finally quit reading any further.

I'm sorry but you obviously never bothered to watch either of the two series that you are trying to crossover and have based all of your extremely biased writing off of _other_ fanfics written by people who were themselves extremely biased.

In this chapter (chapter 3) you have Buffy saying all demons need to die and then when Oz leaves the room you have her asking what's his problem and having Faith answer her with Werewolf.

_WATCH_ BtVS before you write messed up things like that. You are so obviously biased against the character of Buffy that you've made her spontaneously 'not know' that Oz is a werewolf while also spontaneously having Faith know it. Which is very amusing since Faith _WASN'T EVEN AROUND_ when Oz was around, but Buffy _DEFENDED_ Werewolf Oz from a human hunter of werewolves.

Tell me something please. Exactly how could someone defend a demon from a human and still say all demons must die, and how exactly someone who was not even around somehow would know something that a character who 'was' doesn't. In other words your writing needs a serious overhaul.

I'm not trying to be hurtful but you have some huge areas needing improvement in this story before anyone other than die-hard Buffy bashers will see this as anything worth reading.

You are getting better. Pretty dam'd funny! And I like your Jenny character, timid but with a hidden well of courage. Wonder if she gets abuse from full demons?
