Hey Chad...

You managed to answer most of the questions before I'd sent off my answers.
*grins* Oh well...


"Ranma Saotome! Since you insist on hounding the Pig-tailed girl
and Akane Tendou, I, Tatewaki Kunou, shall bring you to Justice!"

Justice should be lowercase.

Not to Kuno. Such Important Concepts must be Capitalized. ;)

I like your answer better... :)


That couldn't happen on his watch! No, students
were only supposed to take drugs when the principal was here.

After all, the principal took so many himself that they were already
way over the national average in drug use.  Having anyone else use
them as well would only exacerbate things.

The principal was off campus at that time, in Hawaii.

Which is why none of the students should be taking drugs... :)


     "Please?" Putting on a face that would drive a puppy green
with envy, Ranko tried to ham it up.
     Yuka failed to avert her gaze in time.

Heh.

Hmmm. Must be the Kawaii-ken training.

Bingo.


more?" she began, a look of almost joy springing onto her face.

Almost joy?  What the heck is that?  Either

..a look almost like joy...
..a look of joy almost springing...

would slightly make more sense.

I don't know. Would Slightly make more sense? Or less?

Anyway, here's my suggestion.

...a look that was almost joy...

Hey! Now I've got three choices! *blinks* Oh great, I'm not sure which one
I like better... I know... I'll use them all!! *looks Kunouish*


     "Nay! The foul sorcerer must have thrown his shoe at me! Tis
the only explanation!"

But how would a defeat by any other name make more or less of an
impact on his face?  Unless he thinks that throwing shoes in unmanly,
or something?

Well, if taking off a glove and slapping someone with it is a mere
challenge, a mere shoe must have other connotations...

Or it could be an insidious authorial writing device... :)


     The tourist laughed. "[Old boy, you're a little lost if you're
looking for Japan]" He pointed to the north, laughing as he did so.
"[It's few thousand miles that way.]"

Er, if they're in America, than north is certainly in the wrong
direction.

Just a note, 'Uluru' is the alternative (native) name for Ayers Rock...
in Australia.

Yep, that's the one. I probably should mention it in the authors notes...


We've got heaps of weird names to stump Ryouga with; Coonabarabran,
Manangatang, Gringegalgona...

Great! More names that I can use... Well, actually, probably not, Ryouga's
not going to be in Aus by the next chapter... :)


And they're all *real*!

That's the scary thing... ;)


Needless to say, this fic and its previous parts are in my 'keep' file.

Thanks, great to hear that you're enjoying it... I write for my own
pleasure, but I like encouragement from time to time... :)

Later,
    Mike.

Yes, that is a dragon. Fixed font users can confirm.
