FANFICTION NOTES FOR:

RANMA 1/2: SECOND GENERATION  (I would like an different title)

Keep in Mind: I would like this to be a long running series. I will
right a fic (that is currently untitled) taking place with the normal
Ranma characters showing how they fell for each other, etc.

The ages of the Ranma characters that we all know is roughly 36 ( they
married at about 18, they had kids at around 20), and the kids are about
16.

Ranma & Akane-They finally realized that they loved each other and
managed to admit it.  They live at the Tendo Dojo.  Akane goes to
college part time, and Ranma teaches students at the dojo.

	*sigh* This one's A Given
	Akane's still in college, at _36_?
	Be a bit more careful (perhaps she has some aptitude at
teaching....)
	Also, I hope you address Akane's very real problems controlling
her temper.

Ryoga & Ukyo-After Ranma and Akane were married, both of them were

	... 
	This is _possible_, but still feels a bit forced given that
long-term relationships rarely take root with two people fresh off the
re-bound.  A long term friendship is more likely to be honest but....

Mousse & Shampoo-After attending Ranma and Akane's wedding, they left

	<sound of desk being crushed as Torrance forces himself to master
his temper>
	I hope that you go rather deeply into how Mousse developed
emotionally from the pest and unwelcome "protector" that probably
contributed to Shampoo's childhood isolation into someone that the latter
would see fit to wed.
	I reiterate, this is Your Fic, but check Wade's homepage for a
strong argument against this matchup. 

Kasumi & Dr. Tofu-Lets face it, it was only a matter of time! Seeing

	Another near given (although I still wonder whether Kasumi
actually loves him, or simply regards him as the Proper Husband & Father
she is 'supposed' to wed)

Nabiki & Kuno-Seeing both of her sisters married, she looked at her

	Nabiki is by far the most likely of the Tendo sisters to willingly
remain single.  Moreover, her intellegence and independant, rather
non-traditional personality would make Tatewaki _very_ low on her list of
prospective mates.

	Still the story is thine, I shall only offer what passes for my
wisdom in this matter.
