Author's Notes:
No, this is not a new chapter, just some update info and a request to any future reviewers.
First the update:
1) There are no real changes to the story. Yes, it was re-edited, but only to correct some minor spelling and
grammatical errors, so you can stop looking for what's new in chapter 1
2) No, "Practice Makes Perfect" is not a side story to another existing fanfic.
Although I have thought about writing a straightforward humorous multi-chapter WAFF
(Warm And Fuzzy Feeling) about Ranma's and Akane's life with the Curse.
Possible plot ideas for it include;
Ranma-chan (R-c.) and Akane (A.) being constantly mistaken for lesbians,
R-c. deciding to become a female. (who's cursed to turn into a man with hot water.)
R-c. & A. ending up in a lesbian dance club without realizing it,
R-c. being force to enter a beauty contest (and beating A.)
R-c. being stuck female for the wedding and A. must pretend to be the groom.
[Less "attributes" to hide!]
Both A. and R-c. somehow ending up pregnant (at the same time!)
The main reason I haven't wrote it yet is that I don't think I could keep up the quality and humor over
that many chapters and different situations without the jokes getting stale or the writing quality slipping.
Now For The Request: ( …now for The Rant…)
First, I like reviews.
I really–really-really REALLY do like reviews! [ Jees, I sound like Hinako-chan :-) ]
Even the bad ones.
How else am I suppose to get better if no-one tells me what is wrong?
I am an American, I believe in free speech.
No, that is not oxymoron, like Military Intelligence, Jumbo Shrimp, Apple Tech Support…,
I normally would never think of removing someone's review (on FFnet) of my stories, good or bad.
But today I was forced to.
"Practice Makes Perfect" is a joke-fic, also known as a spam-fic. (Kami, I hate that term, it makes the story
sound…flushable… disposable…) It misdirects you with open-ended suggestive dialogue and red herrings.
The reader falls for it because basically we all have dirty little minds [shame on you! :-) ] that lets you be
mislead. But not easily. This type of fic (other than a R1/2- DBZ x-over that makes sense) is probable
the HARDEST type to write. Don't believe me? Try writing one yourself! Then after all that hard work,
you can see someone ruin it for everyone by GIVING AWAY THE PUNCH LINE IN THEIR REVIEW!
Yes, you heard (read) my correctly
That's right, someone wrote a review and included a the remark "…I felt like a fool when it turn out they
was dancing instead of fu…" (I don't think I need to show that LAST word) Of course, I removed it.
I thought most reviewers knew and understood that you do not give away the story's ending, joke, or
cliff-hanger IN THE REVIEW! But then again, I always thought most Americans (like me!) knew their
own country's basic history but Jay Leno proves that wrong all the time!
So if you want to write a review…
Please-please PLEASE do so, writer's l-o-v-e reviews, BUT PLEASE DON"T GIVE AWAY THE ENDINGS!
Thank you for your support.
Or as Dennis Miller used to say: "This is just my opinion, I maybe wrong."

ARGGG! I can't win! Now some numb-nuts posted another review giving away the ending AND I CAN"T REMOVE IT BECAUSE HE SIGNED IT! You can only remove non-sign "anonymous" reviews
