#1 Anyone wanna read a Blue Seed fic, I've got one in mind and am
curious as to the intrest out there, seeing as how most of the fics
posted ARE Ranma 1/2???

If you post it, some one will read. Now about C+C...

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.
