I'd like to issue a mild challenge.  If you are someone who writes 
RANMA fiction and only RANMA fiction, try writing one story in another 
universe.  I know there's plenty of non-RANMA fic out there, but there 
could be plenty more if more writers would be willing to take the first 
step into an as yet unexplored region.  Especially new writers; don't 
be afraid to start off with something other than RANMA.

I've done that.  No one noticed or cared :)

I bet noone on this list can even identify the story I did that had NO 
Ranma.  Not even a hint of Ranma.  Not even a SHADOW of Ranma.

Except Jeff Hosmer, who doesn't count for this challenge, cause he helped 
me think it up :)

So be quiet, Jeff :)

I can think of two.  Only one has been sent anywhere other than your own 
little proofreader's list, so you must be talking about that Sailor Moon 
fanfic that I seem to get two copies of each part of because you sent it 
to your proofreader's list AND to the fanfic ML. ;P

The other one is the one I'm on your case about revising so I have it as 
our main feature for that fanfic 'zine.  *Ahem*  [not so subtle hint]
