WARNING!!! Don't read this post if you haven't read the latest chapter:

So, I sort or realized going into it that not killing off Riser would raise some hackles and get some negative comments.  However I've been astonished and somewhat appalled by the amount of vitriol I've seen in several reviews that mentioned it.  I was wondering why everyone was reacting like that.  Is it so 'out of character' or 'appallingly soft-hearted' after what Riser tried, that Harry didn't kill Riser as he set out to?  Especially when you consider that doing so he would have killed Riser in front of his parents, older brother, and younger sister, who loved the asshole?  Am I just wrong here?

the hatred for how I'm treating Akeno is also ongoing.  I would like to know if people still like her character and the way I'm portraying her as well, and the idea of her and Tonks getting together, if only for a short time, which I hinted at in this last chapter.

I am also asking any of you who know anything about the Tuath De Denaan - the Irish pantheon to pm me.  I have some questions I need to figure out going forward, and talking to people who have already researched them or even come from Ireland would be better than just researching what can be found online.

EDIT 1/2 at 4:38:   I have to apologize to all my readers.  I had made changes to the version of the chapter Michael had seen then combined that version with the version that Nad Destroyer, who I use for overall feel and character interpretation.  When I erased several of his comments from the last section, and before that, I erased those changes as well.  I can only plead time and tiredness making me miss that.  Here are the major changes:

"Ravel however bypassed Sirzechs entirely.  She moved directly to Ranma and curtsied deeply, actually going down on one knee as she did. "Please sir, i know my brother has, has acted in a way that brings dishonor on hi and my family, but, but he is my brother!!  Please, punish him yes, but do not kill him like this."

This and the sight of Riser's parents pleading made Harry's ire cool somewhat, and he looked around.  His daughters were there, and while Lily's teeth were bared, Asia's were clamped in front of her, praying.  And if Harry knew his newest daughter she was praying for them both, despite Riser's recent act of insanity. Sighing, Harry shook his head.  "We'll see."  was all he said, before turning away."

"Harry had demanded this fight with the intent of killing Riser quickly and as overwhelmingly as possible. But Ravel's plea and the eyes of his daughter on him weighed heavily on Harry, and now looking at the panicked, fearful expression Riser wore, he couldn't do it."

GAH!!! I think I need to freaking cut off chapters now at, say the 50,000 word mark, regardless of leaving cliffhangers.
