The Best Ranma Fanfic is The Callers Plight

I disagree. Respectfully.

Leaving aside the obligatory plug for my one qualifying fic 'Golden
Years'... }:-{D

... I'm currently in the process of re-reading all the stories which qualify
for this vote, and -so far- my current (but NOT FINAL- this isn't a vote)
choices are Rich Beauein's Natsumi the Magical Girl pt. 4, Scott Jamison's
Terminus, and You Say It's Her Birthday, the author of which I have forgotten. 

All three are excellently written, fun to read, and at least within shouting
distance of the original spirit of Ranma 1/2, although for some reason it
seems American fanfic writers just don't have the same sense of insanity the
original has.

The above are, BTW, in order of preference, hi-low.

If anybody out there wants to try to pull an uneducated Redneck's vote,
though, feel free to send me your qualifying fics -it saves me time lugging
the remaining fics out of the raac archives. For anyone who cares, the
stories I still have under consideration are:

A Definite Change       A Pond of Koi           Afterlives
Alternative Reality     Another Day             Anything Can Happen     
Black Roses             Cheap Access to Space   Coff-EZ
Easy Prey               Half a Conversation     Hello Again
Here's Uma              I am a Part             I Have a Problem
Inner Conflict          Insomnia                Iron Roses
Jackpot                 Kasumi, What's Wrong?   Let the Wind Blow
Life and Manhood        Little Ducks            Love is Never Easy
Obsession               One Bad Day             Orange          
Parallel Lines          Perchance to Dream      Peter's Journey
Powerless               Ranko's Heart           Reality 1/2
Saishu no Wakare        She Knows?              Silly Spring Spree
Sweet Dreams            Tendou's Time that Comes Dragon Comb
The Least One Can Do    Phantom Prankster       The Sign
Time of Changes         The Visit               Through Uncolored Glasses
To Find a Drowned Human To Win is to Lose       Trapped

(yes, it's a lot, but a lot of these I did't see the -first- time around,
and the rest I didn't keep in memory for whatever reason, so I need to
reread them to compare quality. I take voting very seriously. }:-{D )

Now returning you to your regularly scheduled incredible heaps of messages...)
