 "Let you go;" Ryouga repeated, clenching one

fist in anguish, his features darkening at some

private and unnameable sorrow that made Ranma want

to

soothe his brow and run her hands over his broad

muscular shoulders.



You've switched from his to her right in the middle

of a sentence

there... but given the way the story's going, I'm

guessing it to be

intentional.

Remove the comma. You can't use a comma like that

unless the verb is

"said" or something of that sort.



@@<pout> But . . .I liked it there. :(



(actually I goofed on that one. My WP program

won't let me put (") at the end of (-----) unless

I put a (,) first. I forgot to go back and remove it.)



 "YES!" Ryouga ripped off his dark wig, a cascade

of

Titian hair falling over his creamy-white

shoulders.

Again, you can't use the commas there, since the

Ranko-ko smoothed the tight crimson-leather

chignon,

that fit her like a second skin, with her slender

right hand. "I swore I would avenge myself against

you

RANMA: Including my long-lost sister?



RANKOKO: Yes! Your long-lost sister will be the

first to die!

the story. Or could have been a story in it's own

I'll have to let it ferment a while and

Fix the line wrapping.

@Thank you. Between my brand-new HD

Now that this is out of my head perhaps I

can get back to work on Sukeban, BF, Guy, etc.



Thanks for reading and most especially

for taking the time to C&C.
