Here's the Non-Ranma survey results.  Even fewer responses to this one. 
Again, I'll have to rethink the timing if and when I do this next year.

Just a reminder not to take this too seriously.  It is an informal poll
of those members of the FFML who felt like responding and were not on
vacation.  It is not meant to be definitive in any way.

Another reminder:  I, Richard Lawson, did not answer this poll.  From
now on when someone says "I", they are referring to themselves, not me,
Richard Lawson.  

Okay, here are the questions and answers:

************ QUESTION 1 *****************

What was your favorite single moment in any non-Ranma fanfic?  Whether
it made you laugh, cry, throw up, or some combination thereof, what did
you like the best?

---

Um, beats me..... I can never single out a single moment in these
things....

---

In Bubblegum Zone #9, when Sylia walked in on "Bert" and Priss, er....
entertaining themselves on the couch in his apartment.  I almost fell
off my chair laughing the first time I read it in draft, I was still
laughing when Bert sent it to the FFML, and I *still* laugh when I think
of that scene.

---

Usagi and Ami dress up as Ninjas in "A Destined Love"--A Sailor Moon
fanfic.

---

You know, I could be gratuitously suck-up and say that I'm having
trouble choosing between your three Nuku Nuku fics...  ;)  If I had to
pick a moment, though, I'd pick the "moment" Nuku remembered her
"childhood".  Which of course consists of most of your first fic, "Like
Fish to a Cat".

---

Quite possibly the waking-up-scene at the end of _Weapons of War_.  That
one shook me up - I so wanted to be there at that moment.

---




*********** QUESTION 2 ****************

Again, going to ask for your favorite non-Ranma fanfic in the following
categories:

A)  Comedy

Springtime for Brain in Megatokyo

Bugs Bunny vs. the Borg #8

Now It's Time to Say Goodbye  (Ed. Note:  It scares me to think that
someone thought of this as a comedy <shudder> )


B)  Darkfic

Dark Chronicles

Now It's Time to Say Goodbye  (Ed. Note:  *This* one got it right.  ^_^
)

BGC:  Machina non Grata


C)  Serious/Dramatic

A Tokyo Senshi in Queen Rei's Court

BGC--Angel of Light

Weapons of War

Like Fish to a Cat


********* Question 3 ***************

What's your favorite kind of non-Ranma fanfic?

---

Project: A-ko (which is my favorite kind of fic *including* Ranma. :P )

---

Many different ones, but mainly BGC.

---

Sailor Moon!

---

Anything that's worth reading, has a point to it (I can't stand series
that never seem to get anywhere, like UY for instance), and either
balance good storytelling with some light humor, or just consist of
*great* storytelling even without the humor.  That would be my
"favorite" kind of non-Ranma fanfic, even though it's kinda broad.

---

At the moment I'm somewhat interested in BGC, and I'd never say no to a
Maison Ikkoku fic, but they are hard to do, so they are rare.

**********************************


That's it.  Next year, we'll hopefully have more responses to go by.
