Ack!  Keep this OFF this list.  We want a high signal to noise ratio here!

OK! That's it!  I'm starting a discussion! um... let's see... Ok- how about
this?  What characters would you like to see forced together into marriafe
(ex:Shampoo and Mousse?) 

Well, using only recurring characters that I've seen...

Saotome Ranma + Kuonji Ukyou:  They know and respect each other and have 
the oldest specific engagement of the series.  Equally important they get 
along with each other.

Shampoo + Hibiki Ryouga:  While not a perfect match, Ryouga is the only 
guy besides Ranma who is definately better than Shampoo (and can beat her 
to claim her hand) and is a decent enough sort when given a chance.  Not 
to mention Ryouga falls for any girl who asks him out.

Tendo Akane + Kurenai Tsubasa:  A bit of an oddity, but think about it.  
A tomboy who has said that she hates boys and a crossdresser on the prowl 
for a girlfriend.  And Tsubasa seems to actually like a lot of the 
"girl-stuff" that Akane is notoriously bad at.

Mousse + Kunou Kodachi:  Two borderline (or over) insane characters with 
fairly similar styles in Martial Arts and a taste for attacking from 
ambush.  If they can get over their current obsessions they'd find that 
they had just so much in common.

Kunou Tatewaki + Tendo Kasumi:  What Kunou-Sempai really wants is a 
beautiful woman to show off to enhance his ego, and Kasumi is the only 
one that might not kill him for his arrogant stupidity, not to mention 
that in behavior Kasumi is probably the closest match to Kunou's true 
desire - beautiful, quiet and obedient.

Tofu Ono + Tendo Nabiki:  In the business of life one needs a partner.  
And Tofu-sensei is the only real match for Nabiki in intelligence, plus 
he has a good job and will be an asset as a spouse as Nabiki advances in 
the corporate world.

Now, who would be willing to write these matches up as a story?
