1.  Ranma is split into boy and girl halves.  Both of them seem strangely
weakened.  Cologne announces that the life force of one person isn't enough
to
keep two bodies alive.  Either the two Ranma reunite, or both of them will
die.


I have an impression a fic with such a plot  was somewhere in that 48 megabyte
archive of r.a.a.s. I've once been reading. (took me 4 weeks to cover it all,
a mindbending experience. This was about 1.5 years ago....) Actually, I'm
almost sure, but I don't have 48 megs free diskspace to unpack the archive to
confirm it. ^_^

2.  Ranma finds a magic mirror/pool/reflective surface that can cure him by
captureing unwanted parts, but the magic of Jusenkyo causes something strange
to happen, it causes the captured reflection to have a magically created
body.
Shortly after Ranma leaves, Ranma's girl half steps out of the mirror.  As a
reflection of Ranma, she has the same feelings towards herself that Ranma
did.
As a result, she hates herself and wants to die.  But she cannot die unless
Ranma himself does, so she systematicly tries to destroy everything Ranma
cares about, to induce Ranma's sucide.

     Now exsqueese me. A mirror that caused a girl to step out of it was in
the manga, so calling this idea completely original would be a bit stretching.
Although, in the said manga, it was someone else's spirit taking on the girl
form of Ranma, who was not cured from this curse by this, but still, that
image of Ranma girl stepping out of the mirror....

Two Ranma splits that are, as far as I know, totally original.


I wouldn't bet on anything related to Ranma fanfiction to be totally original,
there's just too much of it. ^_^

This isn't to say it should or should not be written, though. But I would
rather refrain. ^_^
