Hello everybody, I'm Mi. Hmm, I'm me. Yeah. This is my first posting
to the FFML on this account. I used to be 'Azusa-chan,' but since
seeing Mamono Hunter Yohko, I've wanted to change my name. Too many
Azusa's, hehe. Sorry to all those of you that I kind of 'disappeared'
from, my computer had some major problems, now I can't get my netcom
e-mail to work. *rolls eyes* Since I'm not always able to check my
e-mail every day, I'm not subscribing to the FFML. So please send all
C&C my way. Thank yas!
Okay, this is just a small portion of and idea that I have. The
'series' is called "Angry Letters." It's written like characters have
a
complaint to their creator. I'm not sure how this will go, they may
each be written in a different format. Sorry for babbling for so long.
The continuation of this one depends on C&C. With no further ado (i.e.
babblings from a bored Mi)...

~*Angry Letters*~
Letter One
From: Tendou Akane
To: Takahashi Rumiko
Takahashi Rumiko-san,
I have a few complaints I would like to make. When you said that
you
wanted to make a manga of my life, I had expected something more along
the lines of reality in your comic. Instead, what I find is that my
boyfriend is turned 'aquatransexual,' my father a wimp, my mother dead,
and my punk of an older sister, Kasumi, is turned loving-maternal
figure. While I do find it to be on occasion quite humourous, it's
also
more than a little annoying. My friends keep asking me why your manga
seems so much like how my life would be if everyone was on acid.
Jumping around on the rooftops? Making everything a martial-arts
competition? I'm a gymnist, not some kung-fu queen! And I am not so
violent as the girl that you portray in your manga. I've never hit
anyone in my life, especially not my boyfriend. And jeez, just because
he's living with my family, why do you have to make it so that there is
some screwed up arranged marriage deal? It's nothing like that! His
family went broke and there was pleanty of room at our place. Which I
would like to meantion is not a doujou, but a good sized house in the
country. Please, if you're going to continue using my name, at least
make it seem like my life, not some freak tomboy martial artists life.
Thank you.
-Tendou Akane

I don't have any real complaints about the letter. It was <eyes twiching
vigourously> different. What I want to know is who thought up
"Aquatranssexual" and how did it catch on? The term "Transsexual" means
"from one gender to another" but not back again. So, I propose a
contest. I want all you to put your thinking caps on and come up with
any type of description for Ranma's curse you can think of. The final
posting will include: the worst, the best, the longest, and the shortest
description. All entries will be posted on a more or less regular basis
but you can't vote for your own. Also note that all entries will be
posted with the author and his/her address, so if you wish to remain
anonymous please specify in your letter. Enter as many times as you
like. Multiple votes are allowed but there will be a maximum of one vote
per entries. Penalties will range from all previous votes being
dis-counted to the voiding of entries, no matter how good they may be.
The contest will run it's course over the next month. (I still have my
uni-studies, you know?) Release the hounds, let the contest begin!
