I now have a website up for my fanfics. I will be updating the fics there before updating them here. You can find it at http://homepage.mac.com/vgz/

I have revised Chapter One slightly. I mostly cleaned up punctuation and grammar, but I also reworked the fight scene to flow better and be a bit less anti-climatic. ^_^ Also I have moved the author's notes from the prologue and chapter one into this file. You'll find them below.



Author's Note from Chapter One: Sorry about the delay in getting this chapter out. My schedule got kind of overwhelming and my prereaders took a while to get back to me because of their college schedules as well. Now that classes are over for the semester I hope to get some work done on some of the other fics I have outlined and get started on chapter two of WCB.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Ja na. ^_^



Author's Note from Prologue: Not much action yet but don't worry, there will be. Chapter one is nearly finished and will be going out to pre-readers soon.

Just wanted to clear up some things. Ranma's academic skills are not perfect. He knows history because he travelled across Japan visiting many historic sites and training grounds. Also this is elementary school so the science is basic stuff dealing with nature that Ranma would have to learn to survive (as pointed out by one of my pre-readers). The math is also low level; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. He can figure out the basics of math but still has problems with some of it. Basically Ranma isn't perfect and he probably won't be.

I'm also glad that people seem to like it so far. Thanks for the positive reviews and suggestions.

To Ranma Hoshi: Did a search on "Serafita" and found the site you're talking about. I may have to try and write some of those ideas later. (Now I know where E-Type got the idea for "Death Becomes Her" and "For His Own Good", good fics if you have a chance to read them.) Found the idea you mentioned due to the fact that it shares my fic's title. That idea has Ranma as Shaoran which is not the way this fic will be going. As far as the title this was originally "Wild Horses and Cherry Blossoms" (translations of the main characters' names) but I didn't like it and shortened it.

Note: the spelling of the names of the characters is based on the sub-titles from the anime. If you think that the spelling is wrong complain to Pioneer. ^_^
