Mine have Nodoka in them... though she's taking about as much as an active
part as Genma and Soun...

I know, I've read them. And I've always wondered how you could have figured out that Ranma would be reunited with his mother and not learn about Akari and Konatsu yet.

Do note that Nodoka stays around for the whole series and after part 3 

took a larger part...and if I were ever to write a followup, I would 
continue to use Nodoka as an active character.<<

Are you going to let her know what happened to Ranma? You'd better.

There's nothing wrong with alternate storylines...in fact, with Ranma it's pretty >hard to write something unique or interesting that DOES fit into the storyline. :)

Is it? How many of you out there agree with this? Actually, all I'm interested in are fanfics that takes advantage of the last developments in the series. Anyone out there planning such fics.
