	1- Set a bit in the future, once the regular cast has aged a 
bit.  Things never worked out between Ranma and Akane; nothing drastic, 
they just... didn't get married, and havn't seen each other in quite a 
while.  Now he's married to Ukyou.  Life is good: the restaurant's 
popular, he teaches a bit, they've got a young son.
	And then he bumps into Akane.  Old feeling long thought submerged 
or dead resurface, and he starts to wonder if he really _is_ happy.  Will 
he risk everything he's currently got for Akane?

Worth a try.  I think that the Ranma/Akane thing has been done to
death..this will be a change..



	2- Choices.  This one I thought of doing during the 'What if 
Ranma got Pregnant?' debate on the FFML a few months back.  Be damn tough 
to write, and probably not a happy fic.  However, after 'Thy Outward 
Part', and 'Serendipity', I'm not entirely sure it's worth persuing...

Hmm...chances are, it'll turn into yet another
Ranma-gets-in-touch-with-his-female-side fic...Also, Ranma getting
pregnant isn't a very good topic and not an easy topic to write.


	3- An epic!  One of those whopping huge, plot-driven, intricate, 
action-filled Ranma stories, inspired by fanfics such as 'Hearts of Ice' 
and the sequel to 'Ranma Goes to War', who's name I can't quite remember 
at this time...  I've got a basic plot outline, and plan on drawing in 
various elements from Nephilim, the Cthulu mythos, Arthurian romances, 
and whatever else seems interesting or surfaces in my school classes.

Sounds good.

 
	4- Anybody else got a nifty idea?

The world needs more good fics about Kasumi, Mousse and Kodachi....
Maybe you could try to pair up Mousse and Kasumi or Mousse and Kodachi.
Try to find a plausible way to do that, and build a fic around it.
