Hey all,
Here's Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed of What Price Love.  Read, enjoy, 

send=

me C&C, preferably private, but if you feel it must be posted to the 

ML =

then by all means do so.  MSTs are OK too.  Flames will be forwarded to 

S=

atan, then deleted.

Before I get into the fic, some questions were raised as to the 

continuit=

y I'm working in.  Basically, it's mostly the anime, but some manga is 

mi=

xed in somewhere.  At this point, Nodoka doesn't know about the curse.  

A=

ll the major fiancees are present, as is Konatsu.  There's no Akari.  

If =

something seems out of place, don't flame me for it, it's most likely 

int=

entional.

Also, if Ranma seems even more OOC than this fic calls for(smarter 

etc.),=

don't worry, all will be explained eventually. =20
Okay, I think I've ranted enough.  On with the fic.

A Ranma 1/2 Fanfic
What Price Love
Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed
By: Jon Osborne

You know, while for the most part, I've enjoyed reading this fic, there 
is one thing that really bothers me about it.  Whether or not Akane 
realizes it, she fell in love with Ranma's _personality_, not Ranma's 
body.  While I am willing to accept the whole "Please be a woman full 
time for me" premise, I don't think Akane realizes the long-term effects 
of some of the other things she's having Ranma do--wearing a bra, 
showing "feminine modesty", etc.  What Akane fell in love with was 
_Ranma_, in a female body.  The person she fell in love with had a 
number of decidedly unfeminine traits, and eliminating those traits 
will, *must*, change the person herself.

Just my opinion, of course, but I think Ms. Tendou is in for a rude 
awakening.

OTOH, please feel free to make the Panda suffer as much as possible.

Thanks for listening.
