I have spent the day cramming fics, and I just wanted to say a few words 
to the authors to let them know that yes, their stuff is being read and 
appreciated.

I am listing the fics by title--the authors know who they are.

Usagi is Dead:  My reaction to Chapter one was a simple Oh my God... 
This has not changed now that I am through Chapter 8.  One 
request/suggestion:  Scene breaks!  With the way the story hops from 
place to place, and dimension to dimension, and with several Usagis 
running around, it would really help if you would mark the points when 
the narrative has changed.

Nuke Em Till They Glow:  Very wierd, very funny.  But please, get a 
prereader who does editing.  It would make the story much more enjoyable 
to read.

One for the Road:  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

The Blood is the Life:  Excellent job with the characterization.  Of 
course, when you continue it, the first question you will need to answer 
is:  Does a vampiric Ryouga turn into a vampiric P-Chan when wet...?

Mama's Hand:  Mamoru must die.  Slowly, painfully, and in the most 
humiliating fashion posssible.  One of the reviews I saw suggested that 
this fic is hard on people who have been through this sort of thing.  
Well, it's tough even if you haven't.  You touched a nerve with this 
piece, and for that, I applaud you.

4th Anniversary:  Once again, solid proof that innuendo and subtlety is 
far more arousing and erotic than trying to set a new record for use of 
the word ``cunt'' in a 'fic.

Silly 4:  Serious enjoyment of this series.  But why couldn't Tatewaki 
compete?

Hearts and Minds Preludes:  My only concern is that after the preludes 
are over (two more to go by my count), the situation runs the risk of 
degenerating into a ``Team Ranma vs. the Villains'' scenario, which 
would be a criminal offense after so much fantastic work.  Mr. Kleppe, 
you have set yourself a very HIGH standard to live up to.

Fire:  Brrrr....  I din't know flames ould leave one with such a 
chill...

Bloody Crazy-the Movie:
   Shot:  Egg                        Voice-over:  This is your brain.
   Shot:  Egg in frying pan          V-O:  This is your brain on
                                           drugs.  
   Shot:  Egg on tip of nuclear      V-O:  This is Freemage's brain
     warhead, which then detonates       after reading BC-tM.

Replacement God:  Type U:   Heh, heh, heh.  I think things worked out 
for the best with Kasumi winning.  Of course, she's sure to arrange the 
Akane/Ranma match-up, leaving Ukyou free... (at least that was my 
reasoning when I voted).

Thanks to a wonderful crew of authors.  I really enjoyed all of this.
