Okay, there is this guy on YouTube that seems to have made it his mission to profile everyone in the Ranma ½ Universe, but most of them, really... are kinda crap. Little more than fanboy fap-bait. Some are good... but these four... these are EXCELLENT:

• The Elder Saotomes
  [ Saotome Nadoka ] - Ranma's Mom!
  [ Saotome Genma ] - Ranma's Dad!
• The Tendo Sisters
  [ Tendo Kasumi ] - Akane's Oldest Sister, older than she by 3 years.
  [ Tendo Nabiki ] - Akane's Older Sister, older than she by a year and a half.

There are some general info profiles if you want to look through this guy's other Ranma ½ Character Profiles, but really... he doesn't seem to get a lot of the characters. Of particular interest to the crowd here at TopShelf may be the (rather insultingly done) profiles of Kurenai Tsubasa and Kuonji Ukyou.

I made a mistake on Kittyhawk 10 that I just fixed. It involves the conversation between Melissa and Tina on the plane. I mistakenly had Melissa saying she's not into girls, which of course she is! Since that affects her relations with Arachne, which Tina says is interested in Melissa, I thought I should point it out. Sorry for the confusion!

P.S. Thanks to John for pointing the error out to me, I really appreciate it!

Melissa Dawne Northe, my Sister by choice has her auto biography A Tragedy Of The Spirit posted here, and her friend Melanie Dixon authorized my posting of the revised version.

We both wish that her friends would either leave a PM with me. or Melanie, or post a comment telling how her story affected you. I will then gather the comments and pm's to post a sequel Triumph Over Tragedy. Please respond, because although her stay here was all to brief, like a candle in the wind, her life ended all too soon.

I can't access the internet via my broadband connection and am waiting for the techies to contact me in the next day or so. My posting of stuff may thus be delayed as I'm using my dongle and netbook computer. This is slow and it loses the signal when it feels like it, losing me whatever I was doing.

Angharad.

T'day be th' best damn holly-day f'r remembrance that we all be kids at hARRRt, Mateys!

Yet again our noble seeker of sleaze finds more misery to expose.

I posted a response to a comment for my story, Providence - My Treasure, My Little Sister. It is not my intent to preach or persuade anyone to change their own point of view. You folks are too precious to me, and I only mean to express my heart and the perspective and world view of my stories. After posting, I thought about my response to the young lady who wrote the comment. I wanted to encourage her, and certainly anyone else who has read the story and my other work, but I do not want to insult or offend. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way. You are all so dear to me.

I got here, after 13 hours of driving. Let it be known...I HATE TRAFFIC!!!! LOL!

Technical writing is a necessary evil but Tech Writing courses are an invention of the devil.

I have too much homework today and most probably will not get an episode posted.

Sorry, but I hope to do better tomorrow,

Mary Travers, of Peter, Paul and Mary, passed away on Wednesday after a long battle with leukemia. Bob Dylan wrote 'Blowin' in the Wind', but it was Mary's powerful voice accompanied by the harmonies of Peter and Paul that made it an anthem for a generation. She will be missed.

I first read No Obligation about 13 months ago or so. I just re-read it again these last couple of nights. This story sucks the reader in and grabs hold of you and doesn't let you go until you are done with it. It's the multifaceted fantasy of an epic character who starts out male and ends up as a young female Wyatt Earp for the universe.

Wonderfully written, no weak parts to it, and shows the power of love and compassion.
