i was reading throught this and thought to myself, thats
me i'm talking about, what if you did to this what Lawson
did to his 2 major series, you know, swich 1 Ranma with
another Ranma. but instead of 2 good Ranmas, swich Ranma
from Ill meet by star light with the bitter end by Zen!
am i evil, or am i EVIL!

You are not evil.  I am, in fact, going to be releasing very soon a Bitter End / Thy Inward Love crossover.  The rough draft is written; it just needs some polishing.

	No.  Bloody.  Way.
	I will be blunt, IMBS is one of the best darkfics I've seen in
some time, but whenever I contemplate this story I either wonder what the
_FRAG_ Genma did to the boy (you know it's his fault), or silently beg the
scribe in question to put Ranma down like the mad-dog he is before someone
likable gets killed (I _think_ he actually has feelings for Akane, but I
doubt they are enough to redeem him).
	In Bitter End, my main hope was that either the Tendos would
swallow enough pride to have Akane arrested/institutionalised or _sombody_
got up the nerve to kidnap Ranma and get him out of there. 

	The thought of these two Ranma's switching places, to be blunt, is
frightening.

Let me clarify what I just said.  Either you are not evil, or you and I are evil together.  :)

	The latter seems most true.
