Just a quick overview of some of the fanfics that've hit our
ML lately...
Decents & Inversions:
after a somewhat slow start, things are getting interesting with this
one. It's one of a growing genre of "Ranma's Kids" type story where
the kids of several cast members run into a young chinese amazon.
And then they get stuck in the past...
December's End:
Another "Ranma's Kids" story, it involves three daughters of Ranma's
alternate futures dumped into the "current" Ranma time. It bugs me a
little bit that the kids (who btw share the same father (Ranma) but
came from different mothers didn't try to get their original parents
(Ranma & Nabiki/Shampoo/Ukyo) together. But otherwise, they're a likeable
bunch.
King Of Pain:
If you're familiar with the works of Terry Pratchett, you'll see the
influence. An interesting little story about Ryoga getting killed and
the Ranma cast & crew being pawns for some other, larger event.
Beauty and the Bastich:
AlberCrombie on the rampage. A ... weird little crossover tale dragging
in Lobo from the DC Comics universe into the Ranmaverse. Much fragging
ensues, that is, if you take that particular option.
And Life Goes On:
Due to an accidental miscalculation involving shampoo & drugs, Ranma is
slowly and surely beginning to cave in and consider showing Akane how
he feels. Izzy-chan's stuff is improving with every attempt. It's worth
a read.
Tales of Ranma & Nabiki:
Set in a world where Ranma ended up engaged to the Queen of Cash.
Ukyo finally gets dragged into the situation, which I like, since I'm
a big Ukyo fan, really. More lines for Ucchan!!!!
Honor Lost:
"Who poisoned Akane Tendo?" is the big question here.
Very good plot, but the dialogue could've been a bit better.
