Hurray! I was hoping that you would write this one. I thought this was 
a great Soul of Ice chapter. I really like your particular writing 
style. Viewing the events from all the different characters eyes was a
nice touch.

Thanks! *^_^*

Well, y'gotta try something new, right? ...new for me, at least, although
there were instances in previous SoI stories in which I used that, for
a chapter or two, but not the whole story, and not with multiple 
characters like that....


That rippling and internal body changes were _very_ interesting. I 
nearly expected him to grow wings or something by the end. More details
in the final edition would be appriciated. 

I'm not sure whether that actually happens, or whether Ranma just thinks
it happens. No one else seems to note it, after all.... Kind of a
symbolic thing or something, perhaps.... :)


One gripe though... I think you should of had more information on
Ranma's
new style. If not the techniques then maybe the philosophies behind it.
Your 'fic only gives us vague impression of it. (His thoughts about
timing don't really count). 

That's another reason why I'm not sure whether I should classify this
story as a success or not-- because I don't think I really developed
the new style thoroughly, merely giving inclinations and hints, as
you say....
