I normally don't do this, but I would also normally have posted my Making Waves chapter sometime this past week at a minimum.  However, as mentioned that chapter kicked me in the balls in terms of simply forcing me to take a much longer time to write actually quite a short chapter.   It is however being sent off to my FT expert as I speak, after having been looked over by my Ranma expert, and is done. 

Magic of the Force is about two-thirds of the way through, and will be done and sent off to Kathryn518 for editing work by Tuesday night.  As previously stated, Michael Duggan has FILFy, and should have it back to me in the next few days whereupon I'll get it posted as fast as I can.   I also have about 4,000 words of Bhaal Son Remodel done - done when I needed a break from the other two.  AGGC is fully outlined at another 2,500 words.  If, life willing, I can get Bhaal Son Remodel done by Friday, I might be able to get AGGC out in a weekend, but there's no chance of either being edited more than me with Grammarly - not exactly the best of editors LOL.  Sadly my fighting with MW basically pushed everything else back, and the quality of the chapters will suffer beyond FILFy.

Anyway, i also figured I'd take the time here to thank everyone who gave me their opinions on the latest batch of questions.  

Horse:  the general consensus was unless Ranma and Palpy met in person and Ranma's sheer Ranma-ness(patent pending) made Sidious burst a blood vessel there was nothing Ranma could do on purpose to find him, and basically how I have been going about the clandestine efforts to find the Sith is the best way to go about it.  I'll admit this question was mainly thought up because several reviews mentioned how long it had been and that the Sith were still there, strong as ever, and they only seemed to lose pawns.  But eventually if you take out enough pawns, you start taking out other pieces too.  

MW:  Generally speaking the question about if Fairy Tail could handle, socially speaking, a multi-relationship took a weight off my mind.  Most of you basically said it would depend on the people involved, but there was room socially for it - Loke was used as an example, the Trimens (not good examples admittedly) and of course Natsu and the twin Strauss.

Now, this doesn't mean it's going to be smooth sailing.  Erza's a prideful woman, and after a certain point even Jenny might be leery of trying to share once her heart's really involved in things.  However more than a few of you made the point that Ranma would see any outright fighting as a bit of Nerima coming to find him, so that isn't going to happen, much.  Contests on the other hand.... 

2.  Here was an interesting point.  Justlovereadin' mentioned that he thought Mistgun had already joined FT by the time he met Wendy in the original canon, but that's not the case.  This lets me free to do whatever I want to create the big magic crash/lacrima creation thing that pulled the characters into Edolas.  Hoho...hohoho...hohohohohoohhohooh!!!

FILFy: 

1. Here you all were really split on the idea of Gabrielle Delacour becoming a character.  I have decided I will show Gabrielle and use her when the plot (or rather the search for information) takes the characters t the UK.  

2.  And no, the tournament arc won't happen.  I hate them, and this one serves no purpose any longer.

AGGC:

1. Shenanigans AHOY!!!  This was a near unanimous decision, although whether or not any Sekirei bar Akitsu will end up winged by Ranma is up in the air.

2.  Hayato is a child who needs time out and some real world lessons, check.  Although two patrons wondered if maybe he'd benefit from some martial arts training himself.  LOL  we'll see how that goes.

3.  Most people were utterly ambivalent about Takami and her fate.  I suppose that's my fault for not actually using her very often except as a straight man for what all else was going on.

As for seeing more story ideas a few, like Tomon evinced some fear of the number of them piling up, and my being unable to clone myself, never actually getting to them all.  I think I may share more of them in the future if I need a break from writing out full stories or a particular muse grabs me by the throat.  Other than that, if anyone can tell me the secret of the clone Jutsu, that would be great.  The only other solution is maybe to use them as challenges, see if anyone else can adopt them.

Hiya! Alright so i'll throw down a few things that came to mind reading this. MW: I'm not a big fan of Erza with Ranma but I'll use her and Jenny as examples here. If you where to go the harem route, especially with the force of will of the characters from MW, you might be better doing triad rather then harem. As in Erza and Jenny find themselves liking each other and Ranma innocently asks why they can't all date each other kind of thing. We've seen Jenny openly ogling girl-form Ranma, talk of a few others girls having a more then passing interest in another girl (not including the super cute yuri couples whose names escapes me), and obviously demon-girl with a dead partner/lover who was a woman. It might mesh more organically that rather then these strong prideful women deciding to share they *cough* pull a Kuno and decide they just want BOTH. I can absolutely see Jenny dragging Ranma off to bedroom and asking Ezra if she's coming kind of situation, a lot better then Jenny and Ezra deciding to both date Ranma individually. And there could be some good humor scenes of walking in on Jenny pinning down Ezra in a compromising situation only to nose-bleed and watch. Just an idea, but I feel triad over bigamy might fit these girls better. It also makes Ranma 'settling down' make more sense, knowing he can leave for a mission and the girls will have each other. As for overwhelming yourself with stories, I do agree. But maybe you should practice writing one shots/short stories and aim for that being a personal challenge? I adore some of the million word epic tales you produce but some of the ideas seem like they would be a great 10-50k read without needing to be drug on over a dozen chapters, and you could drop more open ended endings if you may wish to continue it (like I suggested on the mass effect story, ending it with them getting the ship and moving to explore the universe). This also lets you revisit a universe for future one shots about a specific adventure/questline. Just an idea!

How have I missed that you work with Kathryn for Magic?!? Goddammit...now I REALLY need to get fully caught up with that one...I am so far behind on it lol. Good to know she still working on fanfic stuff! I feel your pain with chapters that just despise being written. Glad you got it done finally man!

the only chapters she hasn't looked at are the first two and chapter 10. Neither of us are the best when it comes to spotting small mistakes, but she has helped me in several SW and HP ways.

Lucy and Cana are the lesbian couple. Lucy is shown as being at least bi in the original, and Cana uninterested in guys but very interested in feeling up girls, so I figured play with that a bit. I'm actually very happy how it has turned out for them, minor characters though they are. As for wanting both, yes, eventually some of the girls will be thinking along those lines, though admitting it is going to take more time. At least for a few of the girls. Not so much for Jenny and one or two others. It wasn't the amount of work overwhelming me, it was the type of scenes. I wanted to show enough reactions and such on the character's parts without totally bogging the chapter down, though honestly I don't think I succeeded in that. I do like the idea of revisiting a universe after leaving the ending open ended though.

Thank you, sometimes I'm bad with names. And yup, I'm really liking how they turned out. They're super cute and it really shows why they're fighting so hard for each other. I'm curious who you plan to go with but suppose I'll just have to see in the long run yea? Can't wait! Glad the idea appeals to you at least, I really enjoy your writing and don't want to see you burn out. As for bogging down the chapter I'm not a good judge since I devour writing rather rapidly so it certainly didn't seem bogged down to me.
