A bit of an update. (Patreon)

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.
