As the Subject states, this is a question. Enough said. Really, that's 
all. Why do I this to myself? I know there are plenty of incompleted fics 
floating around, so why not list them here? That way, people (much like 
myself :) will know what's out there. And does anyone have any idea why 
Ranma is so popular among hack writers? I have a theory, but in order not 
to be presumtious, I will wait for anyone else's first. 

	Here's what I'm writing:
	Chrono Trigger 1/2 (Ranma & Chrono Trigger Crossover)
	A story about Shampoo and Akane that has yet to be named
	A story called "Tonight's April Fools" (Two parts, sort of)
	A story currently titled "Be Careful of What You Wish For" (I know this 
must be title from somewhere, but I can't think of anything else right now).  A 
what-if Ranma story
	A crossover between Ranma & Final Fantasy 3
	I got couple ideas floating around but has yet to write them down.  When 
I do finish my other fics I'll think about them.  I've posted the alpha versions 
of some of the above stories (first three) but got next to zero feedback.  If 
this continues I might not post anymore.  If I actually do get some C & C from 
here I'll continue to post my stories.  Please people, just take the time and 
read them and let the author know that you read the story!  I post my CT 1/2 
story few days ago and got only 2 responses!
	As for why Ranma is so popular, it is probably because Ranma is very 
flexible.  You can write almost any type of story with the Ranma characters 
whether it be serious or funny.  Also there are many plot elements from Ranma 
that can easily be expand on, such as Ranma & Akane relationship.
