The idea that his "bisexuality" is completely caused and reliant on his curse also makes that much more of a source of conflict too. And it (hopefully) means that we will avoid the cliche: "Oh Ranma, we (the crossover cast) completely understand you. Come. Ignore those horrible peopl...
It's not a huge deal, but I think the context is novel. The one time I can recall Ranma hitting them was when they were talking about/leering at Akane with Gosunkugi in the anime.
Going to make it kind of a thing for both Ranma and Nodoka to mumble in their sleep That's a fun little quirk to give to both of them. I like the classroom scene, especially the rumormill and Ranma's cringing over his girl-height. I was a little surprised to see Ranma hit Hiro and Dai. Not out of c...
However, Ranma does have some other worries. Stuck a girl, suddenly needs to fight monsters, etc. Those all seem like they'd be a bigger deal in terms of right now then sexual preferences and attraction Ranma's known about and likely thought about for awhile. Yep. That's why I basically only have t...
Thanks for the feedback. I will probably follow Frank's siggestion and add back in some RYouga jerkiness to the beginning and maybe smooth out some of the discomfort Ranma expresses. I would say that ijp92 has the right of it for the most part. I don't want to delve too much in backstory here, but t...
As you know I've been dragging on the new chapter. In truth I was unhappy with the portrayal of Ryouga (as were many of you). I want there to be some kind of antagonism, but I realized I was making him too unsympathetic for later on. I decided a better route was for Ryouga to have some of the better...
In both the manga and the anime(to different extents), it's left pretty open-ended. One can assume Mako and Mina (if we take Kaitou Ace's curse as a metaphorical "this is the price for being in the masquerade" sort of thing) will find a relationship at some point. Rei perhaps has no in int...
This is ironic given my writing, but I don't like transformation stories. More specifically, I tend to get easily bored by stories that center their premise on a magical or super-science sex change unless a)it's incidental to the main plot/a complicating but relatively minor device to a larger story...
You asked "... where Ranma is *not* the one ...". That biases answers toward fics with Ranma in them. If you want other titles to search, try Cinderella Boy, Futaba-Kun Change, Cheeky Angel, Kampfer, Space Pirate Mito, Maze, Family Compo, Birdy the Mighty, Kashimashi, Le Chevalier d'Eon, ...
Hmm... I would say (in decreasing order): Economics, Law, Business, Sociology, or Communications. Are you envisioning your Crystal Tokyo as a constitutional monarchy or as a benevolent dictatorship? If the former, I'd squeeze in Political Science between Law and Business. As an aside, I cannot imagi...
So In Japanese college you typically enter as a student of a particular school (School of Science, Business, Education, etc). Double majoring is for all intents and purposes unheard of, though one can do classes outside of their department. Majoring in Japanese college is pretty similar to doing so ...
This is a (still quite) rough draft of the chapter. I imagine it's riddled with my usual amount of mechanical errors. Certain sections have gone through several rewrites while others are still pretty rough, structurally. That said, my main concerns for readers are: ⋅ Ryouga and his charact...
I've been kicking around a few ideas in this vein myself (a small hint of which was in part one of Creatures of Habit and basically the premist of Wandering Martial Artist ), but I'm curious as to what's out there since it;s something I haven't really seen in recent stories. What sorts of stories wh...
