You want to know why there are so many Ranma fics? It's because there are
enough characters to work with, enough personalities to fit almost any
plot, and enough possiblities to keep coming up with stuff that hasn't
been done.

	Whoa Ekisya, holds up a copy of "Manga Vision" on front of himslef,
like a sheild, noing full well a Takahashi fan won't slash into the
current source for Rumic World stories.
	Look at my track record,  I've done 4 stories, ALL of them Ranma 1/2,
so I've obviously got NOTHING against the series...an FFMLer holds up a
copy of the sic Mousse fic, This is what you call nothing against the
serie<WHAM>...urk!!! Keener let's his hammer go back into subspace and
continues. 

Whoops. Did I sound like that? I don't remember putting !!! anywhere. I
was just bring up a major point. The series is so varied that it can be
taken anywhere. Look at the last volume for example...
 

	I just wanted to see if there was any interest in a Blue Seed story, if
not, I was going to go on with another Ranma1/2 fic I recently thought
up...does this sound like someone who doesn't like the series???

Yes there's interest. Why should you even care about the reader? You
should be writing for yourself. If anybody else likes it good for them! 

 Ekisya.
