The final, final, final chapter to Ranma Gets A Clue, has been posted. The epilogue you all have been bugging me about for so long, is now up. I will be notifying long time fans of the series shortly. I will post it to FF.NET, the FFML, and R.A.A.C. soon after. Enjoy the story, I enjoyed writing it for you all. I am writing a novel I am going to try to get published, so remember my name :)

Holy cow, I have actually done it! I have re-written the ending for the story, and I have almost finished the promised epilogue. Give me 2-6 years, and hey, I will get the job done! I am just awesome like that \^o^/
While I was at it, I also threw up a new-ish site design, just because. Hope you like it.
Below, you will find a shiny new link for newly created chapter 12. Chapter 12 is the second half of the old chapter 11. It is the entirely re-written ending chapter to Ranma Gets a Clue, which I started way back in 2001, and I am just now getting around to finishing after promising for so long to do so (see! I did keep my promise! Hah!). I will probably never touch this story again. It needed to be finished properly, but looking at my writing from so long ago is now painful to me -- which is why I only actually rewrote just this one chapter, instead of doing that with all of the chapters as I have reformatted them, and cleaned them up a little bit. What I know now about writing, compared to what I knew then, is depressing. I hope that when I post my next story here, you will see what I mean. It is a Star Wars story, so I hope you like change. ^_-
Anyway, unlike with the new chapter 11 (which, along with all of the rest of the chapters, was just cleaned up), I really have actually re-written this entire chapter. There are entirely new (large) sections to this new chapter, which was broken off from the old chapter 11, to make its own chapter (where it belonged in the first place). The lead up to the climax is now fleshed out and not just a few lines saying briefly what they did, and where they went, and the climax has now been re-written to better reflect my writing style as it is now (not completely, I didn't start from scratch, I just edited things as best I could, or re-wrote small sections of things where appropriate), and also to tie up some loose ends a little better. Some sections have been left more or less alone, except for the hundreds of comma and tense errors I am trying to fix, and the multitude of minor errors I am correcting. I am also rewriting the major battle scene in the center of the story to clean some of that up. This chapter is by no means perfect -- but it is as perfect as you are going to get from free fanfiction on the Internet with no actual formal editing process ^_-
Please feel free to send me your reviews/thoughts/etc. on this chapter, unless I have ever called you on the carpet before for any past behavior -- then your banning still applies =P~. Chapter 12 is basically a new chapter to this story, based on the old way I ended the story (the ending events haven't changed, in case you were wondering, but the aftermath has had a significant new section of story added to it). So reviews, etc. are welcome.
The long fabled, and promised, epilogue is on it's way, and yes, it will be tying up all of the major loose ends that are still remaining. I will be posting it here first, before I send it to the rest of the internet at large. So, all of you long time fans will get first crack at it. I will be putting it here on the site's RSS feed first, then the site itself, and at the same time I will send out a notice to everyone who has sent me an e-mail since I posted the old chapter 11, notifying you all of the newly posted epilogue.

I am still writing, but the pacing is slooooow. I am still trying to release a re-write of the entire RGAC series, as well as a new ending chapter split up, and a brand new epilogue which will resolve some things that people have been bugging me about since I finished the story. I am also getting ready to have some people look at an original novel of mine, which I would like to actually get published. The novel is going to be similar in story and tone, to the movie Hackers (which, if you haven't seen it yet, you need to go rent it today, seriously. It is my favorite movie of all time, ever!).
If you like my writing and want to see more of it, remember my name: Robert McAdams, I am going to try to publish an original novel of my own that I am working on (hopefully under the TOR label [crosses fingers]) sooner or later [sighs].
