Good Story. I especially liked the after fight description of Ryu vs Ranma. I am very much looking forward to seeing what happens when Ranma meets Ranko again. Keep up the good work.

PLEASE tell me you are still interested in this fic. This is starting out as one of the few no-curse-Ranma fics that I have a chance of enjoying. A lot of the canon humor relies on the gender confusion of Ranma's curse. This start promises to use the known characters in a new and interesting direction based on a (near) canon beginning. You asked for help in reviews. One valid writing technique is to assemble a GOOD backstory (which you seem to have done), start the characters in a general direction (ditto), turn them loose, and see where they go. Lois McMaster Bujold uses this method, saying "I think of the worst possible thing to do to my characters, then DO IT TO THEM!" (Emphasis hers.) She likes to see how they get themselves out of trouble. So, while keeping the crew in-character, resolve the crises on the table (getting Ranko to school and Ranma to the Tendos). At the same time, be thinking of what else can go wrong next. DO NOT TRY TO FOLLOW CANON CLOSELY. The same tensions and balances aren't there. Do feel free to borrow as much from canon as fits. One thing for certain, "Here Comes Ranma" (aka chapter 01) won't play out nearly like canon. Can't wait. Moose Breath ps. I can't believe this is the first review after almost a month on-line. mb
