A Surviving Mau Chapter 8 (Chapter Complete)

[Spokavriel]

Or maybe magic. Finding Ichigo or Ryou stuck in cat form one day and using a variation on the healing spell to restore the normal form. There are possibilities.

I like the flow better this way (as opposed to them going to Nodoka's without Ranma).

It was also interesting to see the younger Tendo's in action. I particularly like the Kasumi/Nabiki manga portion.

[KonokoHasano]

That was the part I had the most fun doing. The idea of an 11-year-old Kasumi sneaking adult manga from her parents room is too much to pass up.

Also, for the people who are probably curious, the manga manga reference was Futari Ecchi. The main characters of the series are named Makoto and Yura.

[KonokoHasano]

Alright, I'm STILL having some issues with figuring out something.

I can't decide on whether I could just continue using the honorific of 'san', or just outright abolish it and start using 'Mr./Mrs./Miss/etc. I DON'T want to stop using 'san' because it's a term of respect, but I'm having issues trying to decide. -_-;

If anyone has any suggestions on it, then thanks.

[Spokavriel]

It's your fic I don't see why you would have to use it unless you think it's important for a character to do so.

[KonokoHasano]

That's true. Eh, I'll just keep using it.

Huh, you know, now that Ranma is back in Japan and living with his mother, he'll have to go to school.

It's a bit late, but I wanted to say great chapter, I created a profile at first just for this. I loved the part where Akane tried to name Ranma C-chan, really funy. I love the way you've kept part of the cannon personalitys in the younger tendous, as if to say they were always like what they grow up to be a little, but it was ther mothers death that killed off the other parts of ther personality. I wonder how diffent they will grow up now due to their mother staying alive. The kasumi reading adult manga was a little weird but I could kind of see that happening, she usualy seems oblivious, but I think she's a lot smarter than she lets on.

I can't decide on whether I could just continue using the honorific of 'san', or just outright abolish it and start using 'Mr./Mrs./Miss/etc. I DON'T want to stop using 'san' because it's a term of respect, but I'm having issues trying to decide. -_-;

I dont mind having honorifics in the fics, just so long as you dont go changing half the words in the fic to japanese. San, Chan, Kun, are all right in my book.

Huh, you know, now that Ranma is back in Japan and living with his mother, he'll have to go to school.

Why can I see a little kitten falling asleep on the school desk? and then ketting pelted by erasers.

[KonokoHasano]

I can also imagine that the Kunos are still slightly eccentric as children. Perhaps not as pronounced as when they're older, but I can see a little.

Yeah, honorifics would be the only thing I'd use in a fic. I could never figure out why some people would toss random Japanese words into their speech.

The only thing I need to figure out now is a school for Ranma to go to. It could either be one where Akane, Nabiki, Tatewaki, and a few others go to, or it could be a school where Ryoga goes to.

Ha... maybe even two kittens getting pelted by erasers. Miki would likely join Ranma in going to school. XD

[Spokavriel]

So this would be a primary school. Although I think Kasumi is old enough to be in middle school. Didn't someone put a break down of the Japanese school system in Fic Research? I can't quite remember how it goes.

[KonokoHasano]

If I remember correctly, 12-years-old = Middle School age. I also know that high school consists of three years.

Before six-years-old = Kindergarten.
Six to 12 = Elementary school
12 to 15 is Junior High/Middle School
15 to 18 is High School

[Spokavriel]

Like Madeline? That could be disturbing.

[jasonjkay]

Will all the other kids tease Ranma and Miki if they go to school? They do both have cat ears and tail right? I can just see the boys tugging Ranmas tail in gym and then being chased around the grounds. Just one question, this time skip your thinking aboute, do you mean after ranmas finished helping out the mew mews it might skip to meeting the senshi? Why cant ranma meet the senshi now and help them with what they're doing whilst still helping out the mew mews? They could all be allies, then again that could have too many charachters in it, and drag down your story. Still I really want to see Ranma meeting some sailor moon charachters, even if it's just usagi before she's the princess.

[Spokavriel]

It comes down to ages. What age Ranma is wanted for interacting with the Senshi. If he's too young will he even be old enough to click with Hotaru or Chibi-Usa when they show up? How long will the MewMew situation last. It all depends on how the story goes and what ages are wanted when things come into play.

Cameos are different. Being in Nerima instead of Jubaan makes it a little less likely for them to interact. But even if say Makoto were a student at a school they all end up going to I'm still not sure how the ages would work out.

[KonokoHasano]

Well, I mainly want it to be something like experience. Those monsters in China, plus helping out the Mew Mews contribute to having experience in fighting creatures. However, I think it would be better for Ranma to also gain a couple or so more years martial arts training and experimenting with his abilities before helping the Senshi.

[Spokavriel]

So how long before we start seeing a future Sailor V looking at a News Paper and wondering about articles about a Sailor Mau? Maybe even a Mew Mew Movie including Sailor Mau?
