Well, I never read any stories from forums, back then. I've considered that it could have just been recycled plot elements, stuff that people pick up when they read stories and (un)consciously add to their own, and I did vaguely remember a few non-canon senshi that Ranma had become (like Nemesis) that shared some similarities in events. Admittedly, six-plus years since reading any particular story doesn't exactly aid my memory. Fortunately, though, I know that stories where Ranma trains any number of the senshi, in the past, is quite limited. The part of Polarity where Venus (I think) gets Polarity into the princess' bed reminded of another story where a prank was pulled on Ranma's character in much the same way, in the past; with the notable exception of Ranma's character getting them back for it.
It's mostly the beginning of the story that seems very familiar to me, though. And I wonder what other story might have Pluto (Setsuna) giving Ranma a way to contact her, if he wanted to talk, because that also rings a bell. Maybe if I just went and plowed through the remaining fukufics available for reading (since I doubt all of them have survived), I'd be able to, eventually/potentially, find the answer, myself. Unfortunately, I'm limiting my reading, since I'm also pushing myself to write. (I have a story that's five years in the making that I'd like to get finished some time this century. ;/ )
