Traveling salesman that sired Ranma, Ryouga, & Tarou?

[slickrcbd]

I recall a long-abandoned fic on a website that I'm pretty sure is now defunct that had a plot element half-way through the story in which Ranma, Ryouga, and eventually Pantyhose Tarou find out that they are half-brothers. Their father is a traveling salesman with Ryouga's curse and the ability to charm his way into lonely housewives beds. He has a "girl in every port" that are usually housewives.
I think he might have sired some other minor characters such as Hiroshi and Daisuke, but I'm less sure of that.

I can't recall what the story was called or what the main plot was, but I do recall that some of the characters were actually starting to work together and settle their differences. I'm also almost positive it was written by a husband and wife team or something like that that shared a web page. I might be wrong, but it's like it's on the tip of my memory but I just can't recall it.

I'm pretty sure I saved a copy, but without more to go on I can't figure out what to search for. Does any of this ring a bell? I know it wasn't on Fanfiction.net and also that the story MORE than four years old, probably closer to 10.

You're probably thinking of the "Tales of Ranma and Ranko" series (a set of stories), by Jack Staik and Lady Tesser. Their homepage was http://home.earthlink.net/~jstaik1043/otaku.htm. (I don't know if it's still active... I'll check. Edit: Nope.)

I don't know if it's archived anywhere else outside the FFML archives, and maybe the Internet Archive-type sites (haven't checked, really). I know I have some of it (can't remember if I have it all) in my archives, somewhere.

I think it might be safer to look for that story using Archive.org I remember a lemon with similarities and a similar title that had Ranko intimate with Ryouga.

I didn’t like it but I found this link:

Incidently, in that story his father DIDN'T have the getting lost curse, the point that he was a traveling salesman -- and thus his other children don't have it. I think Ryoga had inherited it from his mother, then.

I found the first three text files in my fanfic collection now that I know what to look for. I looked at the RAAC archive at ftp.gweep.ca and found that the third "chapter" is missing from the archive.

Any suggestions on what i can do? My time is somewhat limited so e-mailing it to people who want it would be right out, and I know it is against all the rules to upload it to some website even if I don't alter the file at all.

Which storyline (sub-title) was that? I've been searching my archives, but the problem with that is that I saved them using the sub-titles, so I don't entirely remember which names to search for.

I did find parts one through seventeen of "Our Wedding Day," though. I should have most, if not all of the stories, though finding them is the difficult part.

Have you tried using the archive/cache sites to 'resurrect' their site (and their archive of their stories)? Or the FFML archive, though that might be a little more difficult to search, I'm not sure. Haven't really done that, all that much.
