All your points are valid.  The problem stems from the vast LACK of 
published Ranma material here.  There's FAR more fanfic material to read 
than actual Ranma stuff.  So when you look for a model to follow, which 
is it going to end up like?  And the problem is only getting worse.  The 
amount of new Ranma stuff released each month is one video and a few 
comic books, vs. a dozen fanfics.

	You are, of course, quite right.  The simple answer is to read
Hitoshi Doi's synopses -- and the impressive number of manga translations
available.  It is, of course, absolutely no solution for the real thing
... but it does give you a _much_ better feel of how Nettouhen looks
around, say, episode 100 (an episode which we won't see in the states for
several years).
	Then again, the real question at hand is whether people are 
really writing Ranma fanfics ... or fanfics dealing with Ranma.  The 
distinction is becoming increasingly less subtle.
