Ok you people!  I can say thank you to all of you who responded, and I'd
like to make special thanks for Andrew Huang, who is having a field day
embarassing me with my mistakes.

Unfortunately, I had never planned for Alternative Realities to be this
large (as it stands, 110 pages have been written), and thus I never really
planned out the story as strongly as I would have liked it to be.  So what
do you people out there want to see?  Well, I have written chapter 10 and
one-half of 11, and now I realize that there is a certain mess to my story.
 Any suggestions for the future?  Here were my previous plans... (Drawn up
during vacation.)

-Chapter 10:  The Saotomes Go on a Private Training Trip. ** A dumb
training trip that was supposed to be only Genma + Ranma that ends up with
the entire gang going.  Plus further  developments with Ranma's curse.
-Chapter 11:  Dr. Tofu's Mother.  ** Planned to be a remake of Episode 14
of Ranma 1/2 First Season.
-Chapter 12:  The Dating Game.  part I (Shampoo, Akane, Nabiki)  **  Mousse
in his effort to satisfy Shampoo, kidnaps Ranma and forces him to go on a
date with Shampoo with  repercussions:  Soun + Genma make Ranma go on dates
with Tendo Daughters.  Ukyo and Kodachi make Ranma feel so sorry, that he
too asks them out on date.
-Chapter 13:  The Dating Game.  part II (Kasumi, Ukyo, Kodachi)
-Chapter 14:  Merging Realities: Akane ** Merging Realities was intended to
be a scenario in which characters in Alternative Reality were to be
replaced with characters from the normal Ranmaverse.
-Chapter 15:  Merging Realities: Ranma and Ranma-chan.
-Chapter 16:  Merging Realities: Shampoo.  ** Let's say Shampoo and Mousse
were supposed to reach a new level of understanding.  
-Chapter 17:  Merging Realities: Parents ** Essentially Genma and Nodoka.
A really messy one, short.  Included only for potential humor.
-Chapter 18:  Merging Realities: Nabiki and Kasumi  **  iffy stuff.  I'm
not sure how it'd work, but I wanted this.  I don't know why.
-Chapter 19:  Merging Realities: Kodachi. ** This was intended as a
branching point for a  side story,  "Kodachi's Enlightenment" which deals
with the maturing of Kodachi in the normal Ranmaverse.

These were stories that I had planned, when I realized that there was no
huge continuation for them to follow.

Any ideas out there?  Anyone with suggestions?  Anyone with C&C for
Alternative Realities?  ( Anyone with completed chapters that they want to
donate :) ?  Heh heh heh )

BTW, I kind of feel guilty for not working on that Untitled fic of mine.
:(  Sorry, after chapter 7 I have reached an impasse, and I'm dead on how
to continue the story.  (I don't even know how to end it.)
