Thank you for forwarding me this Scott, I believe I have a right to 
defend myself (and Blade to since he's off on vacation)

 Blade and Epsilon?  OK.  I'll save everyone the time they would spend
reading this series.  Tarou comes to town, beats up Ranma, who is then
beaten up by everyone else, including the little old lady who washes the
sidewalk.  Having established his perfection and ultimate fighting ability,
Tarou then finds true love with Ukyo, and everyone, with the exception of
Ranma, ends up happily ever after.  The end.

Oh please, you obviously know nothing of our fanfics and are judging on 
one example. 1) Tarou does not show up in all our fanfics (our major 
"serious" series does not have an appearance by him, that would be Ukyou: 
Affaires of the Heart) 2) Ranma is not beaten by everybody, even in Curse 
of Darkness he beat... uhhh... Mousse ^_^;;; but later in the series he 
beats a lot more people (not telling who, that would be spoilers, but we 
don't play favorites) 3) Tarou does not find true love in all our stories 
(Kyote Chronicles and U:AotH again, heck even in Ran Wars).

	Ahem.  I'm between Blade and Epsilon in this one.  Tarou does 
*not* get to beat up Ranma in this story.  (OTOH, not vice versa 
either...) (darn the luck!)

<flat look> Gee thanks. However I can tell you that he is right, Tarou 
doesn't beat up Ranma or vice versa, heck, no one beats up anyone.

(Tarou does show up, but then again so does practically the entire cast 
<couldn't find a way to insert Yobei however...>)

As for my fightscenes, if you have a problem with them you point out why 
they shouldn't have happened that way. Unlike -some- fanfic authors I 
know a few things about facts and martial arts and how they work 
together. (Geez, I thought the FFML was supposed to not allow this sort 
of deliberate author bashing... geuss I was wrong)

  Oh... pardon me.  Blade and Epsilon already wrote this story.  Never mind.

	I am assured Ranma will get to win at least one more fight before 
the end of the Curse of Darkness series...  (I think with the little old 
lady who washes the sidewalk :-)

Yes, yes he does. (Not the little old lady)
