     In the past several months that I have been on this list I have read
about Nabiki getting a heart, Shampoo chasing Mouse,Ryouga finding his way,
and even Ukyou giving up on Ranma.  All of these people have been presented
as main characters in their own stories, not as minor players in the
Ranma-Akane relationship.  Even Akari has had a major part in a recent
fanfi, granted it was one with Ryouga as the main course.  One major
character from the anime seems destined to play second fiddle, I speak of
course of the'Black Rose' Kodachi.  The only story I have seen her star in
is a side story of the now famous 'Thy Inward Love series,' if you haven't
seen the series get out from under your rock and look for it.
     I request that someone attempt a series with kodachi as the star.  To
my knowledge she is the only reocurring character in the anime who has not
yet been made a fanfic star.  Even her brother has achieved this status.


Read Stefan Gagne's "Wicked Garden."  It has Kodachi as the main 
character, and she's actually understandable (as opposed to being 
unbelievably insane).  Other than that -- I seem to recall someone 
telling me about their idea for a 'fics where Kodachi goes to the 
Olympics.  Wanna step forward?

Kodachi's a difficult character to write as a main character; she's just 
too cuckoo.  It can be difficult to find a common ground with her...
