Gary,

You've sure managed to tweek my interest.  In the first three parts of the
prelude you've also managed to completely surprise me three times... Kuno
after Shampoo? Nodoka unconditionally releases Ranma from the manhood
promise? Kodachi actually lives up to the terms of the contest and leaves
Nerima for at least four years?  I just love surprises, especially when the
writer can make them believable in the context of the story, as you have.

You do realize what you've taken on, though, don't you?  If you don't finish
this, the fiction police will surely hunt you down and do something
unspeakable. *grin*

Best,
