Minor Update: May 3, 2004
Posted Chapter 16 -- Its been awhile since I wrote the bulk of it..
Status:
Portions of the remaining chapters are written. Time remains to be something I wish I had more of. There are at least several more chapters. I started on a chapter of another story focusing on Ranma and Nabiki. Once I get a solid chapter wrote and checked I'll go ahead and post it as well although I'm not sure if that one will continue yet. Regardless, I intend to finish this story before doing much work on another.
Changes -- April 1, 2004
Chapter 15 posted.
Stylesheet size reduced to 120% from 140%. What do people think of the size? Is it better for reading that way or should I have left it alone? I run a 1600x1200 desktop so my preferances may be ideal for everyone.

Author's Notes.
The previous is a work in progress. I took this off fanfiction.net since I didn't feel like being pestered by rants about me not doing things as 'it should be done.' Partly I think there are a lot of Akane haters out there, and if thats what your looking for then this is not it. Since I'm writing this, I'm the one who decides how it should be done after all. Of course very few people run across a random new web page, but then thats partly what I intended at least until I get this done. I'll probably put it back somewhere like fanfiction.net when I finish it.
I do welcome serious reviews though. By serious reviews I mean ones that discuss both good and bad things and give specific ways in how to fix things. For example if by some chance I accidently leave a plot hole of some kind, then tell me what the hole is and which parts of which chapters, so I can fix it. I try to keep a timeline updated, but its easy to forget details over time.
If anyone wishes to submit an improved version of a large part of a chapter, or wants to help me with this story in another way then let me know. (I.E. Prereader.) I will credit people as appropriate if I use the material. Some things I would like to see improved is some of the dialog between the main characters, but not at the expense of the story overall of course.
I'm pondering a new title, but I've yet to come up with one.
