A Secret All My Own / Author notes
Abby Kitty
Hay-o minna san! I'm putting this up to point out a few things in the story before I write the next chapter to this fic! For one I' am soooo happy that all of you reviewed!!!! I thank you for the constructive critiques that you have given me!!!!! I would just like to clear up a few things on my fic.
First off, in my story, before the piano was in the basement, the room was not a basement. It was used as a playroom or a room where you could go play.I don't know,..Pool or some type of game of cards!!! It's connected to the dojo because it was used for that purpose! Also the room was DRY and DUSTY!!! Not to mention Akane went in there often so it was well taken care of. As you can see the closet had not been a closet before, but just another hallway leading down stairs to the recreational room. I have a grand piano in my house down some stars and I personally witnessed My Dad and our neighbor carry it into the room down stairs!
Ok, as many of you know, Ranma really doesn't cry, EXCEPT when it concerns loosing Akane. Ever read about Saffron? I believe its book #36 in the series. Plus, I've always viewed him with a secretly sad side. I've always thought that if he knew that there was no one around, then that was a time when he would let his feelings go, but only as long as no one would know. It shows the weakness that Genma had taught his son, for if you cry, you open yourself up to ridicule, and if you can take such sympathy and ridicule, it makes you a stronger willed person. Anyone can hate, anyone can get angry, but few can cry, and few can show love. I view Ranma as someone who is gradually growing spiritually stronger and in order to do that, he needs to learn how to cry. Genma is only making him weaker willed in my opinion. It also shows that Akane is making his soul stronger with time. I hope you see why I did it.
As for the story "Hidden Talents" I've read those short stories two years ago and they were amazing, but believe me when I say that I was not thinking about them at all while I wrote this. In fact when you mentioned those stories you reminded me of them. I basically was playing the theme song to "A nightmare Before Christmas" on my piano and the idea for my story just popped into my head. I am sorry if I offended anyone in writing the idea I just wrote what was in my head at the time.
And last but not least... I HATE cockroaches and Centipedes!!!!!!! *Shudder* But I love spiders and DRAGONS! I belive that they are both misunderstood.
Well that's all I have to ramble about. Next chapter will be something concerning Mouse!
