Which fics do you most reread?

I think the title sums it up, but to clarify: I was recently rereading Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past, and was wondering what fics you all like to go back to and read again, even if they are finished or dead or haven't updated. The ones I am most likely to go for are: Harry Potter a...

Re: Harry Potter and the Nobility

I have seen far too many stories like that, that started off so promisingly and either just died or devolved into something unreadable.

Re: Ranma x HP x Naruto

That is why I tried to expand the crossovers a bit even in the initial post. Negima, for example, has younger main characters but they are strong enough and the series is combat related enough to cross over better. The main reason for the Pactio cards in it is to counter the superiority of a martial...

Harry Potter and the Nobility

J.K. Rowling made a very obvious effort to keep the muggle world and the world of magic as separate as possible. What I am looking for here is a fic where they are less separated, specifically one where the stuck up old families of HP don't just act like nobles, they actually are Lords and Ladies or...

Re: Ranma x HP x Naruto

That it? Even with the expanded criteria and a month for people to respond while I was incommunicado? Thanks for the link, I just thought there would be more. To expand even further, I would like any story with ki and magic being separate forces and chakra, or a third series which explicitly uses tw...

Re: Wind and Wave chapter 1

That is covered in increasing details in later chapters. The first time he is clearly and unequivocably shown being splashed with hot water is in the fight with Kodachi(the tea kettle incident). I start diverging from canon events even before then, but there are certain fights that the changes to Ra...

Re: Wind and Wave chapter 1

Sort of back from a lightning induced hiatus. Expect delays on my updates to this chapter.

Re: speed

There's an itty-bitty side effect at that. The Battle for Wesnoth game mechanics has a "charge" attack modifier (mostly limited to horsemen and knights using spears). It doubles both the damage dealt and taken :twisted: So yeah, any running attack is a nice trade-off: you lower your defen...

Ki + Magic = Chakra? Expanded search.

I had a weird idea and wondered if anyone had done it before: It is common in Ranma x Naruto crossovers to talk about Ranma's ki being half of chakra. I've even seen one fic that specifically said that the other half was magic, thus why Ranma wasn't interested in learning to use chakra(having had on...

Re: Looking for a Ranma curse to turn into a cat fic

Sounds familiar. Was this the one where he wound up teaching Minako instead of Artemis? As I recall, Setsuna was trying to find Artemis since he hadn't shown up when he was supposed to, scanned for moon cats, and found Ranma(who had fallen in spring of drowned moon cat), leading her to assume that h...

Re: speed

The short answer is yes, running means that you have more speed behind your punch, so as long as you aren't losing more force to an inability to properly anchor yourself and use all of your muscles to maximum advantage, you will hit harder. Longer answer: Imagine being in a car. While in that car yo...

Re: speed

So, discounting skill, what contributes more to the damage you pump into the other guy? Speed, or strength? To head off this argument hopefully before it starts, I've seen this before and anyone who objects to this needs to realize that you are using a semantically different definition of speed. Th...

Re: The workings of modeling, singing, pop idols, et cetera...

I don't know how accurate the information is, but in Spoiled Brats Ranma is an actor, actress, and singer(female form only), with Aino Minako also being a singer, so there are quite a few references in there that might be useful. Plus, it is a good story, though I think the author has given up on it.

Re: speed

So I'm not the only person to have that reaction to this?

Seriously, shouldn't anything in the fic research area include a question of some sort? You know, something you are trying to research?

Re: So what looks like it will be your movie pic for 2011?

I went to a midnight release showing of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but there are very few movies that I get that excited about. It doesn't help that the new 3-d technology gives me a splitting headache, so often the only way for me to watch one of the blockbusters is to wait for the dvd and p...
