Having finished the exhausting task of rewriting TIL, I now want to move
on to my next story.  I'm putting a lot of work into something I'm not
getting compensated for.  :)

I'd like your opinion.  I have three story ideas mulling around in my
head...

1)  TIL side story:  Kuno and Nabiki's prom night.

This is one I think would be better left for the regular readers' 
imaginations...
 
2)  TIL Aftermath:  Shampoo's return to the Amazons.

This would be the first one I'd recommend working on.  This one sounds very 
interesting.  Judging from your previous works, it should be ^_^.
 
3)  Completely new story.  TIL hasn't happened, Akane and Ranma still
can't say the "L" word.  A new student enrolls in Furinkan.  No, this
isn't author-insertion; this guy doesn't have extraordinary powers,
doesn't know martial arts, and isn't much interested in solving anyone's
problems.  He does become interested in Akane.  Akane can't find any
reason not to be interested in the new student...he treats her nicely,
is intelligent, repectful, and funny.  Not as good-looking as Ranma, of
course, but he does okay.  In short, a normal guy.  Akane finds herself
in the position of choosing between the zaniness of Ranma's life or the
nice, quiet life of the new guy.  Of course, Ranma doesn't help his own
cause, calling her uncute and finding repeated ways to stick his foot as
far into his mouth as it can go.  A study, if you will, comparing the
"normal" universe to the Ranmaverse.  Before you say, "Of course she'd
choose the Ranmaverse!"; remember, the grass is always greener....

This one is also very interesting.  A close second, in my book.  In fact, I've 
been toying around with the idea for the second Aa! Megami-Sensei! series, but 
using someone more suave than ordinary.  Still in the works, though...


So, whaddya think?  Which story would you like to see?
