Temple of Ranma's Sailor Senshi Seifuku

Congratulations. Never did too well myself with the game, but I've still seen how hard it is.

There's several reasons why people think Akane never practices. I think the biggest one is the anime. Nabiki teased Akane about just practicing to stay in shape in one of the OVAs. And for a long time the English manga was never finished, so many authors were stuck with the anime version. Another is...

Most of the magic we see in the series does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's the cast of idiots getting ahold of it that's the problem. Even the koi rod and the paper dolls worked properly. That said, some of the items, including the umbrella and the above-mentioned bamboo charms, only worked ...

Sturgeon's law: 90+% of everything is garbage. It's just that most of the authors using character tags came relatively recently. Back before sites like FFN came out you either had to have your own site or have someone host your stories. And most of the links were put in by people that liked that sit...

Part of the assumption that Akane might not be able to do makeup might be based on the canon fact that she can't do SOME feminine things correctly. Cooking and sewing are the two I can remember off the top of my head. This, of course, ended up being exaggerated by fanon into her not being able to do...

One thing that's always getting missed is that there are HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL groups devoted to R1/2 types of martial arts. Flinging around heavy objects with a gymnastics ribbon is common enough to have a multi-school competition devoted to it, along with cheerleaders doing the same sort of thing. And...

This is... what? Character development is completely different than failure to get initial characterization right. You never said INITIAL characterization in the original quote this replied to (What's the point of me reading a story allegedly about Ranma if he's absolutely nothing like Ranma as he ...

Compliance to characterizion and basic facts of canon (not headcanon, actual canon as in the original source story) is absolutely important for writing a good fanfic. What's the point of me reading a story allegedly about Ranma if he's absolutely nothing like Ranma as he appears in the comic? One, ...

You're just as likely to find a bad fic without tags as you are with them. At least the tags allow you to find fics you either do or don't want to read. EDIT: Sorry to post this in this thread, but this reply works best here: Fair enough, if a story is marked as AU in which the charcter has, for pre...

Fanfic authors (and other creators) get lots of flak when the ongoing work doesn't follow the reader's expectations. I've seen many writers quit simply because they have to constantly change email accounts to avoid the flames simply because an otherwise liked story turns out to have a pairing the re...

But yes this is why Author intent shouldnt necessarily be canon, because she's been retroactively adding and changing things often enough that it's ridiculous. I maintain the position that for something to be canon it needs to be within the story itself, or related materials like sequals or books s...

Make a good summary without an "OUT OF CHARACTER" sign instead if the story is actually good. Most sites have limited space for their summaries (I've seen FFN ones stop mid-sentence). Tags are a way to let potential readers know whats in a story while keeping the actual summary part as bi...

As I stated, its the type of thing you need to take on a case by case basis. Look at the way most people describe Ki in Ranma stories. It is used to explain some techniques, like the moko takabisha, and it's easy to insinuate that other techniques utilize it as well. But most of what is usually use...

If it was legal reason, all that was needed to say "taken down for legal reasons", that would not impact any legal actions in any way while also explaining. I´ve seen that happen before, but they either write something like that or explain more in detail. Some even post whatever conversat...

One weird fic, though one that I liked the original one-shot of best (chapter 1):

"Misconception" http://reocities.com/Tokyo/flats/5990/misconc.htm

How a misconception causes a mis-conception.
