Ah, you already know I don't agree...though I will say they're a good writer. The fact that I can't stomach the actual subject matter has nothing to do with that... :huh.:

...and if we're naming our favorites, I'd have to say that when it comes to Ranma fanfiction, I probably enjoy Black Dragon the most, myself. :sisi:

Fire! :blue:

Sigh. The 'personal websites' folder of my fanfic bookmarks is kinda depressing. A graveyard of broken links and pages years dead.

Bah... still works with Internet Archive.

Fire's Internet Archive PageI'd have to recheck the numbers, but I think of all my stuff, only some 7% I cannot link to at least an author page.

Yeah, it was sad when virtually all the Anifics links disappeared...only Lady Cosmo's was left, to my knowledge. Though at least I managed to track down The Grum's site afterwards.

Ehhh... what the heck you guys talking about.

Almost all the anifics links were *moved*, they are all still available.

Here is an example:

If it was this before:
NighthawkTM's Home PageIt is this now:
NighthawkTM's Home PageHere is a master index of all the ones that survived:
Anifics Hosted Authors Index PageWhen the original servers went down due to the death of their owner. Sol over at Anifics had a backup made, and he restored it to the Hosted structure. That was not an immediate thing, but they were restored mid last year.

As for the Grum... He made his own site when the origginal anifics sites collapsed. It really is not one of the hosted ones.

That's the only annoying thing. Web sites vanish after a time, and some of them you can't get to anymore. :headbanger:

Huh, didn't know about that.

And yeah, I knew the Grum's site isn't hosted there, I'm just saying, I found the new site. The only one I was aware of still existing at Anifics was Lady Cosmo's.

Apparently, I wasn't as aware as I would've liked.

Same here. Cool, I can update my links.

Heh...

I thought everyone knew, so I never bothered bringing it up here. This shows how wrong I was.

Heck, had I known noone seemed to know, I would have made a thread to it. Too late now.

It should be noted some of those old site had hardwired links, as such, while the web code was moved, some of the old links do not work. The sites that used relative no hardwired code will be more functional.

At the time it was moved I remember commenting to Sol a couple did not survive the trip. However, since those mainly housed lemons anyway, I can make a good guess why.

Yep... I have to check my own links every month or two. There are always some changes that need to be made.

But then. I currently have some 4283 favorites links. It is a bit annoying.

Rel Software Link Checker helps somewhat. Despite its age, it is fairly good.

I at one point adusted my Lister favorites dumping program to dump a format for use as an import file into the Link checker, so it is fairly automated. It does not work for FanFiction.NET links though.

It's just http://www.thegrum.com/

He kept it simple. Just click on the link, and go on from there. Too bad he hasn't updated since July... *sigh*

The Grum normally only updates once a year, been that way for a long time now.

However, his July Update was a mistake on his part, one we benefit form, as he inadvertantly posted *everything* he had, not just the stuff he planned to update.

That messed up the January update schedule he had been maintaining.

Ah, really? I only ran across him shortly before Anifics went down, sometime after running across his work on at the old Church of Time and Chaos, I think it was called...something along those lines. Ranma/Setsuna matchups, at any rate. After I realized the site was dead, I tried locating some of the pieces that I'd liked, to see if there was more, and found him from there. :huh.:

Today is Hell is a martial artist's turn.

Not bad, but the part with Urd did not feel right. She was surprisingly easy to derail and did not actually say anything convincing before leaving. You'd think a Goddess trying to save an immortal soul would put more effort into it than that, even if it's Urd and even if the mortal is supremely irritating. A Goddess got to have a high professional standard, after all.

Personally, I think Urd is interpreting her orders and rules as more restrictive than Hild. She has really done little to warn or help him, certainly nowhere near as much interaction as Hild. She has been painted in a bad light here.

On the other hand, Urd *had* to know, a warning to Ranma right out about someone who has been helping him coming from someone who has gotten on his bad side, would not work.

Hild herself is not likely to be viewing her daughter in a good light, especially now. Ranma, a person she had thought of as a 'toy', a 'distraction', has given her more sympathy, compassion, and care than even her own daughter, a point that simple letter probably drove home to her.

The only actions in this I saw as unneeded was:

1. Hild blowing away the clone twins. I grant, they were in fact not Ranma, but they were close enough that she could have had fun with them for a week.

2. Up until now, it was always *Urd* referring to Ranma as a 'toy' to her mother, this chapter had Hild herself referring to him that way.

One thing I've liked about this story, despite seeming to be centering on Ranma, I think this story is really more about Hild than Ranma, one of the very few stories I've seen done in this manner.

I can actually believe two things in this as possibly coming to be.

1. Despite how their relationship came to be, and the initial thoughts behind it, I truly think Hild can come to genuinely like Ranma as more than a plaything, but as a friend or student.

2. The other thing is even if Ranma did learn of her true nature, I do not believe it would change overly much Ranma's personal views of Hild. He strikes as being far more judgemental of deeds toward him rather than anything else. To him, her getting something out of this likely would not phase him as much as would be thought. If he knew just how she could be, how she could of approached this, of the contract she had destroyed, and the mere fact every descision has been presented to him with valid arguments and reason and his to make, I don't think he would take her in a bad light when compared to those in his life that force it all down his throat.

That's funny really, I've been looking for this guy.
Could have just asked, I've been reading his stuff I think since 2002.

Unfortuntely I missed the Grum's massive updates. Was there an update for 'Finding an Anchor'? I'd really like to read more of that.
