Things are getting pretty interesting.
Er, I meant to do that.
Two great tastes that go great together!
druth's Journey has finally been updated after several years. If you don't know it yet I highlly recomend it.

Mark MacKinnon has released the latest chapter of On A Clear Day You Can See Forever to the FFML.. previous installments can be found at Shadow Chronicles as well as other stories in the metasetting...
Mark's one of the few people, frankly, who can write Ranma in a way I find interesting.. And an entirely new take on Sailor Moon (for ...Clear Day...) doesn't hurt EITHER. (Warning, On A Clear Day... is rated Lime.. but in one of the more appropriate fashions I've seen in a while.) - Grumpy Uncle Gearhead
Shocker:Legit has a new chapter..

Whee! Yay! Been waiting -way- too long for this, and man but it's a biggy! 96 pages according to the printout... and another chapter almost here? Wowza.
Some speculations... hmm.... Okay, I loved the early bit with Ranma's flashback to the shipboard scene. This is shaping up to be a very interesting cosmology. Just what was really going on there? Just how did Hild, Mara, and Peorth get to Gaia, cut off from Yggdrasil's worlds, and what is Hild planning? Is she really the power behind Wynneth? Current idea floating through my head is that the catastrophe referred to in the shipboard scene resulted in the severing of the multiverse's interconnectivity - thus rending the various Heavenly, Demonic, and Earthly planes one from another, and creating the gulfs that the Doors and Hyperlink Keys allow passage through. It's possible that Gaia was created out of subspace by this catastrophe, or was simply the world where the ship ended up - complete with (Heavenly?) technology, some of which is still active in the hands of Hild, the modern divinities, and others, that can be put to rather interesting uses. Idea: "Two are the lock / One is the key / To unlock the forces of Destiny". 'Two' is Hild (who had the Control Module) and Gar (who knew where to put it). 'One' is Ranma (who has the Hyperlink Key that can activate the Control Module and release Dasma). Idea: The real reason for the kidnapped Priestess of Alieva. Mark's hit on the theme of the Sisterhood being able to bend, break, twist, and recreate people, several times. I think she's there because SHE is the one who is going to perform the sacrifice, of the Saeni high priestess, thus doubly desecrating Alieva's sanctity and possibly stealing her power for Hild. Which leads us to Question: What is Hild after? Is she trapped in the Shadow Realm? Does she want to reopen a gateway to her home universe? She seems rather dismissive of the power of Gaia's native divinities, perhaps she intends conquest... Oh, and Idea: The people on the ship in Ranma/Key's flashback spoke of the Eye as if its blinding were recent... more, as if it were something whose vigilance they were depending on. Could -they- be the Old Ones, the Ones Before The Gods? Perhaps they were no mere technologically-advanced mortals, but young divinities of the AMS type - strengthening the conceptual bond to Hild/Peorth/Mara's presence. Or they may have been mortals who forged it out of Aethyr... Anywhack, this is one serious doozy of an update to one seriously great story. Damn fine! -- Sucrose Octanitrate.

It surprised me that Rei is also interested in Ranma. Considering that the best possible ending for a canon Ranma universe is a multiple liason...it seemed apt..^^

*dances* and chapter 19 shouldn't too far away either. Although I've found a downside to fanart. What was I thinking when I drew the Desidinder picture? Oy.
On speculation: I had thought, from her conversation with Gar, that Hilde had been used by whatever is behind Wynneth herself back when she earned the appellation 'Shipbreaker'. Of course, I don't think she's as free as she thinks she is. She manipulated Dasma and Alieva into fighting, and arranged for the most powerful secrets of shadow magic to be lost or destroyed. Getting her 'revenge' on Dasma and Alieva and isolating Shadow to be her playground. This of course left Wynneth as the only Shadow Mage who can travel to Shadow, and set the Sisterhood up for Wynneth's trap. That and if she were behind it, she'd have known about the Key already. When Ranma uses the key it hurts Wynneth's controller and frees her mind from it, briefly. The Two who are the lock, and the one who is the key, I'd though were Wynneth and Hotaru (Wynneth obviously has plans for her), and Ranma. Of course I could be completely wrong about everything. I though Quincy was Arcanum after Doug's fight with the Sabers. I'm looking forward to Hotaru's reaction when she finds out what Ranma is. -- "I love the smell of bookstores in the morning. It smells like...literacy." -- Lawrence Person, rec.arts.books
Dragon said that this particular world was lost in a sea of darkness...meaning that Wynneth's controller's goal is to open this particular world to a demon invasion again..just like what happened to Ranma's world.
I belive that Ranma will eventually be recognized as the Warden of this world. Now, whether he stays, goes or goes out in a blaze of glory is still up in the air. __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

Hmmm.
So, you think it was Hild who caused the ship to become stranded in Gaia, leaving the proto-Dragon-et-al in what would become the situation we see now? It makes a certain degree of sense. A thought ... is that ship in the flashback the one we now know as Desidinder? -- "Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of General Zod has been approved." -- Sucrose Octanitrate.

I don't know if it was Hild alone, but she had something to do with it, from day 17:
"Once, I was undisputed monarch of my kind. We were worshipped in our own right as devils, demons, seducers and soul stealers. Until THEY conquered us, made us their tools. And even then, I was the best." "Hild the Ship-Killer," Gar said softly. and: Hild stared at the image, looking into the face of legend, of something that should not be. No, she thought. I will not allow it. I will not go back to being a tool. It was ended. It was ended, and it shall remain ended. I swear it. I think the ship in the flash back is Desidinder. Illianka's appeared on Desindinder's deck twice, I think, and Desindinder is flying the standard of the Eye. Who knows though. And now that I've read 18 I just want day 19, and 20 and... Ah well, it will be along soon enough. -- No, officer, it was strictly a *decorative* beartrap. --Chris Knight
I think we're pretty much agreed. Now we just have to wait for Mark to post chapter 19.--
