        Perhaps, although I don't want to write it.  I will admit that a
whole other range of stories could be written *by someone else* to

chronicle

the life of the 'geek' version of Ranma.  (And remember that he would have
the curse to deal with too...)  If someone decides to write this, I'd
suggest waiting until Ranko and Ranma have their little discussion about
some of the other Ranma's past.

This doesn't fit with your end of story notes.  There you said that 
Ranma's wish changed the world, *NOT* that is moved him to a new world.

True.  I should've appended <not affecting the timeline of Careful Destiny>
to that paragraph.  I do still maintain that Ranma's wish changed everything
else around him.  I purposely wanted to avoid alternate universes, as that
provided too easy an escape for Ranma should he lose the broach or use the
wish on something other than reversing his first wish.  Plus it adds to the
weight of responsibility on Ranma's shoulders, knowing that he's responsible
for changing everything around him to fit his whim.

WAHAHHAHA!!!  I was just asking myself today what that would be like.  
Personally, I think it's not worth it.  The guy was such a loser, who 
cares if Ryoga beats the snot out of him for the rest of hs life?

Ranma-Geek would be dogmeat pretty quickly, particularly if he ran to his 
mother for help. :-)

Actually, it'd probably either wind up being a very slapstick comedy, or a
very dark story (when Nodoka arrives).  But it does open some interesting
possibilities.

2)  Lemons.

Oh Kun-chan...!

Someone is being typecast it would seem. ^_-

But she's so good at what she does.  Makes me wonder what kind of research
she has to do before she writes one of those stories...  ^_^;;;

--> It's been established so far that Ranma prior to the wish was a devout
non-combatant who didn't get along with his sister or (to some extent) his
father.  He was a mama's boy who clung to Nodoka shamelessly.  Also, he was
an Anime fanatic, and liked to read a lot (hence his title of geek).

He was

sexually promiscuous (as we've seen with Kinuko, although he'll find out
later on that she wasn't the only one...  ^_^ )

The "new" Ranma is going to be upset when he finds that out.  
Particularly given that he has no idea of how to deal with relationships, 
even defunct ones. :-) 

Indeed.  He'll be in for a rude awakening as he sees what he could've been
capable of doing had his life followed that of the other Ranma's.  He might
even be repulsed by himself.

The "geek" Ranma does seem to be very self-centered.

On that subject.  While Ranma was carrying Ranko to Dr. Tofu's, Ranko 
said she had figured out why the other Ranma told about Kinuko.  BUT YOU 
NEVER TOLD US!!!!  Ranma said wait until we get to Dr. Tofu's.  I wanna 
know!!!  ^_^

Loose end number 27 will be cleared up in release ... ^_-

There's a catalog of loose ends?!?  @_@
