Well... Seems there's been a bit of a snag... At least
three of the ML's best writers posted superb Ranma 'fics
at the same time, which means that some of them will probably
remain unread...
So... I'll try to come to the rescue, somewhat, and reccomend
that none of them be skipped over or deleted... They're all
WONDERFUL.
Firstly, we have RpM's 'The More Things Change'. This is
not to be missed. Rod's an incredible writer, and this is his
main story... Ryo Muhoshin is one of the most engaging fictional
characters I've come across. He just... Grows on you. Sure,
it's 450 K, but it comes in 14 chapters, a prelude and an epilogue -
nice bite-sized pieces. Read one a day, if you have to, but don't
neglect it.
Next, Richard Lawson's 'Thy Outward ...' (sorry... Too lazy to look
up the full title. ^^;;) As I told him via private e-mail, I believe
this to be the best piece he's written. It certainly puts anything
*I've* done to shame... 60 K, but it flows VERY smoothly. Lawson's
characterisation is perfect, as always... I don't want to say more,
for fear of spoiling it, but let's just say it's a must-read.
Finally, there's Erin Mills's 'Envoy'. All right, so I have a
special interest in this one, since it takes place in my Ranma
2096 universe, and I edited it, but all that aside, it's GOOD.
It's been posted to the Ranma 2096 ML already, and the responses
I've received have been very favourable... What's more, it's
short! And it's from the same fellow who brought you The
Great Anime Crossover from Hell!!!, The Death of Ukyou trilogy,
Killer Tomatoes eat Nerima and many others... His unfinished
projects are always on the top-ten prodding list... And...
Well, he's finished something, for once, and it's certainly
worth reading. It hasn't hit RAAC, and already it's one of the most
popular R2096 side stories.
[For those of you who've read The Wanderer and VISION, Sable and
the Wanderer make their first main series continuity appearances
in this one.]
Well... That's enough from me... I've just noticed that when
any of these three (or Misa) posts anything to the ML, all other
'fics posted that day tend to be ignored, so I didn't even want
to think what would happen with today's overload... ^^;;; I just
want to make sure all these fantastic stories get the recognition
they deserve...
