I'd like to issue a mild challenge.  If you are someone who writes 
RANMA fiction and only RANMA fiction, try writing one story in another 
universe.  I know there's plenty of non-RANMA fic out there, but there 
could be plenty more if more writers would be willing to take the first 
step into an as yet unexplored region.  Especially new writers; don't 
be afraid to start off with something other than RANMA.

I've done that.  No one noticed or cared :)

There was, at the least, the Symphony of the Planets (SM) series (and I, for
one, did comment -- 's good!)

However, Ranma does show up in Symphony of the Planets, if only as a 
Cameo :)  So it doesn't count :)
 

I bet noone on this list can even identify the story I did that had NO 
Ranma.  Not even a hint of Ranma.  Not even a SHADOW of Ranma.

Except Jeff Hosmer, who doesn't count for this challenge, cause he helped 
me think it up :)

Besides the above mentioned, there is also Sailor Moon Z (ep. 3 posted just
the other day).  Do I win anything? ;)

Okay, So I did leave Z out of my mind when I wrote this...<bonk self>

However, Sailor Moon also has a large Fan base...This other story didn't.
 
I've even heard some people in some circles complaining about a SM story 
glut :)
