Temple of Ranma's Sailor Senshi Seifuku

Let's not forget Awkward Consequences. Very in-character for Hotaru, especially if you're fond of the "damaged sense of self-worth being built up over time" motif. Hotaru once bitterly describes herself as "the Death Star in a mini-skirt." Pure gold. To quote Drakensis the Red, ...

Here's a link to Onna Red side By: The Eternal Lost Lurker http://clampfix.fanworks.net/re-fix/index.html Just scroll down until you see the fanfic link on that page. I started reading it on the Ranma archive at archive.eyrie.org, but unfortunately it's a rape fic, and IMO the author isn't the type...

Obviously,Quizer,you're not a Mercedes Lackey fan... I'm not familiar with her works. I'm guessing she rapes her characters a lot? I strongly dislike angst in general. That doesn't mean that in order for me to like a story, nothing bad must happen to the lead character, but the author should take c...

Quite frankly, I have no idea. I hate rape of course, but I accept it in a story because it's generally a very important fact the story is based on. In my experience, a character being (or having been) raped in a story is almost always used as a cheap way to insert vast quantities of angst and suff...

I agree on character-driven stories. In my opinion, a character-driven story does not preclude events being introduced that aren't readily attributed to any one character, but their integrity should be preserved. I've seen otherwise great fics fail because the author had his/her characters make deci...

Things I like in fanfic? First of all, it needs at least decent spelling and grammar. If it's above that and includes a good grasp on proper writing style as well, even better. Something that is written flawlessly gets a lot of leeway with me, regardless of actual content. On the other hand, poor di...

I let this discussion continue in this thread because I believe that other members will benefit from reading it. Otherwise, I would have had you PM me. You nailed it. If a discussion begins to drift off-topic and you would like to continue that line of thought, creating a new topic and then linking...

Have you read the 3 prequels/prologues written by the guy who took over from Libby?

Nope, can't say I have. Can I have a link, and maybe some tentative commentary on content/quality?

Discussing the merits of a story in a fic search thread is okay. Where we went off-topic is in discussing the character of Hotaru, which has nothing to do with how good any of the stories listed in the thread are. To answer your half-asked question, in the majority of the site, off-topic drifting i...

Sorry if this went too far off topic. Personally, I think comments on the various searched fics are valid because they allow the prospective reader to make an informed decision whether the fic in question is worth their time. I have very high standards and I rarely feel like slogging through a dozen...

Would you consider Hikaru Shidou(MKR) as Ranma's 'cursed side'? I like MKR, and I would definitely check out a story that crosses it with Ranma. I went to check out 'A Duet of Pigtails', but it was too deep with the angst, I couldn't really enjoy it. Hostage situations (especially drawn-out ones) a...

I've just read 'Awkward Consequences'. It's fairly good overall, although I feel the angst is a little excessive at times. Did Hotaru angst this much in canon over her 'freaky' healing ability or her destructive powers? Also, the hook is a little contrived in my opinion, although it's possible to su...

Is that all there is? Only one more story is a little meager. Is 'Neko-Senshi' actually any good? I'd prefer for 'Ranko' to be as close to Ranma in personality as reasonably possible for a relationship still to work out - a Ranma/self pairing in a way, made possible by splitting Ranma's Jusenkyo cur...

I'm looking for fics where Ranma falls in love with his girl half. I've already checked out Rakhal's archives, but only eight stories are listed there and none of them are what I am looking for. What I'm picturing is a story where Ranko is split off from Ranma by <generic miracle cure/wishing device...

I have to agree with the assessment at the beginning of this thread - Pluto seems to get the short end of the stick in many fics. Of course, that can be done well, too, and it's fun to see her struggle at an oppenent that just isn't satisfied with a compromise and continues to defy her, and more imp...
