When I subscribed to this ML, I had a few fanfic ideas rattling around
in my brain for some time. Now that I'm on, I've got a reason to develop
them a little bit (one of them would be a mutli-author effort). Tell me
what you think.

Ranma 1/2: The Pact

	The basic premise has been used before (I'd say it's been done to 
death).  Beware of a few things.
1) Don't make the new character an Avatar.  That's just a bad, bad idea.
2) Try to avoid focusing on the new character too much.  Ranma stories 
seem to work best when they deal with Ranmaverse characters.  
3) Don't make the new character super-competent.  This means no using him 
to resolve the romantic polygons, and try to keep his martial arts skills 
at a minimum.  There is a strong temptation to give new characters 
Ranma-like skills with lots of flashy powers.  Kuno-level skills with no 
chi-based abilities seems to work better.
