I can't recall having posted a C&C on here before.  Whether because I
actually didn't or my SCFB (Swiss Cheese For Brains) deprived me of the

In either case, thank for you taking the time now. :-)

Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo at eleven o'clock the next day.  And it had been signed
Ranma Saotome.

This sounds a little awkward.  Perhaps you could use 'And it had been
signed, "Ranma Saotome."'  Or maybe signed BY Ranma Saotome.  *shrugs*

Hmm.  That's a good point; I just wrote it as I would have said it.  I'm
not sure what would be most correct.  I'll look into it.

date, and therefore her daughter and descents as well,

I think the word you're looking for is descendants.

D'oh!  You are, of course, correct.

Hehehe... I can just see her moaning that into the porcelain throne in
between retches.  ^_^

<smirk> Only because she lacks the strength to scream.

Is Ho Tu-aks a real name, or are you saying it's terrible because it just
doesn't roll off the tongue?

Ho Tu-aks is made up.  Xuan Pu (if none of the others) is a real Chinese
name.  Ho Tu-aks (for Hotwax) was irresistible, but not realistic, I
thought.  I don't think there even is an 'aks' sound in Chinese. :-)

I have to applaud you on a wonderful story.  I don't think I've seen this
type of solution used before.  Of course, it may have, and my
aforementioned SCFB is hiding it from me.  I like how it seems Shampoo
seemed to look forward to "taming the horse," so to speak ;), as well as
Nabiki's obvious satisfaction in depriving her of that prize.  And of
course, any story that was not only well-written, but also inspired by
KaraOhki, is a big bonus, too.  Kudos.  ^_^

Thank you very much for your C&C and for your flattering words. :-)
