How well would a fanfic travel that features the characters of Ranma in a

drawing board?

Go back to the drawing board :0

Seriously, I don't particularly see the point.

       Hmm... I can see it.. however a large part of what makes Ranma 1/2
is the Japanese culture.  Most likely by placing it in an American culture
you'll most likely lose a) arranged marriage  b) a great deal of the
martial arts  c) half of the personalities.
       The end result may be interesting, but that remains questionable.
With alot of planning and creative liberties, I give the project a maybe.

Actually, I was planning to write something like this.  But it is slightly
different, and if I ever finish it, you'll know why.
