I agree it's a good laugh. Too bad it's been rendered obsolete due to
events in the manga. Ranma has been back to his home before, in vol. 28,
and he had no other siblings. Also, the Saotome family has been reunited,
but their household has been demolished. But then no one could have known
all that would happen a year and a half ago.  > Now that the secret is
out, I would really like to see Ranma fics involving Nodoka playing an
active part (not including that Martial Arts lemon one....) and not just
appearing. Come on, any takers?


Well, as I said, I wrote that a year and a half ago.  At the time, the 
manga volume where Nodoka finally figure the curse out hadn't been 
written yet. :)

Do note that Nodoka stays around for the whole series and after part 3 
took a larger part...and if I were ever to write a followup, I would 
continue to use Nodoka as an active character.

As for it not fitting into the manga continuity...well, neither does 
Daigakusei no Ranma (in that, Nodoka still doesn't know about the curse), 
or a lot of Ranma fiction on out there.  There's nothing wrong with 
alternate storylines...in fact, with Ranma it's pretty hard to write 
something unique or interesting that DOES fit into the storyline. :)
