Well, first off I want to say that I am not on the ML, so if you want to 
reply to me, it will have to be via private Email.  Slashtooth stopped by 
and convinced me to help him with reviews, so we are going to start with 
the first batch recieved.

	The first story is 'Hours' written by fcasper (fcaster@yesic.com)  This 
story, according to the prelude, was a lemon rewritten to a serious story. 
 An interesting transition, if you ask me.  However, FCasper did a good job 
of it.

Slashtooth:  Well, there were a couple of points I would like to make. 
 One, whenever Ranma talks to Kasumi, he seems to understand what she means 
right away.  She is the only one that can make Ranma understand without 
violence.  In this story though, Ranma just don't get it.

Jorath:  True, but in the end, he understands.  Almost.  I think that if 
this one were continued, like scenes from the next year, Ranma's attitude 
would change.  Kasumi always has a way about her that influences people 
without actually changing them.

Slashtooth:  Ok, on that point we agree.  Although I still say that Ranma 
and kasumi would be like the wierdest matchup out there.  (This from the 15 
minute debate we had when we read this one.)

Jorath:  Which I won't go into.  End analysis:  Good serious story, The 
lemon might be interesting to read now though.

Slashtooth:  Granted.  I would like to see the story that spawned this.

	Next on the roster:  'Personality Split' by Flashman (MXJK67C@Prodigy.com) 
 A Sailor Moon fanfic.

Slashtooth:  A semi good Sailor Moon fanfic.

Jorath;  Ok, on this one I think I have to agree.  Opening, middle of 
Tokyo, a factory, surrounded by forest yet, housing a powerful mage of all 
things.  Now a setting is necessary for any story, but I think that a 
temple or something would be more appropriate.

Slashtooth:  Not to mention the end.  Flashman wrapped it all up so poorly. 
 I think the story ran outta steam there.

Jorath:  I agree.  the ending was poor at best.  After all the buildup in 
the story I felt let down with the ending.  I am afraid that I am going to 
have to not recommend this one.  The ending must be rewritten for this 
story to be readable.

Slashtooth:  Well, that's it for me, I gotta work early tomorrow and still 
gotta drive home.  Later!

Jorath:  And I am going to write my reviews and send them to Slashtooth to 
post, so I will say good evening as well.  Please remember that if you have 
a completed story that you want reviewed, send them to me at the address 
below.
