Boy, I know this is a parody and all, but still.  After reading this and some
other "Ryoga gets really nasty towards Akane" fic (I think it was called
Replica or some such), it really makes me wonder if this is "Get Ryoga
Week" or something.

Replica was one of the 'fics I was parodying.  Personally, I thought it 
was so OOC for Ryouga that, had I been openly posting on the ML at the 
time, I would have blasted the thing.  I'll be honest, Ryouga was a 
little OOC in this one, though he was kinda meant to (this is a parody, 
after all).

Man, these fics keep getting darker and darker.  One wonders what's
next (I shudder to think). 

How's this sound:

First-person - from Kodachi's POV.  She sees Ranma change, puts 1/2 and 
1/2 together, runs away, ends up at Akari's place, of all things, and 
comes back in time for the Ranma-Akane wedding.  It's already halfway 
typed in, and will probably be posted to my early list within 48 hours.

PS.  Yeah, I know it's a little hypocritical to harsh on darkfics yet read
them anyway.  I guess that the ratio of light/dark fics is a little
disproportionate to the dark side of fanfics for my taste at the moment...

No, it's not.  One of the reasons why I wrote "Black Lemonade" was that 
there was an inordinately high number of darkfics - most by authors who 
disregard characterization.  Humor can be a cunning form of retort at 
times. 

If you're hypocritical for reading and slamming darkfics, what does that 
make me?  I write darkfics - and slammed them through this.
