Okay...So I've gotten a wee bit upset at the never ending debate of some
people over who would be the best fiancee for Ranma over the last year or
so (and perhaps I'm wondering why we haven't heard of impromptu wrestling
matches between Ukyou/Shampoo/Akane fans at any of the Anime con's..). So
in an attempt to poke some fun at people who care perhaps a little too
much about the Ranma fiancee debate (or maybe to provide a slew of new
crossover ideas for Ranma fanfic authors) I present...

Non-Ranma Fiancees for Ranma...

(Or how would Ranma react with these girls as his Fiancee...:)

1) Ryouko (Tenchi Muyo!!)

Heh, Ryouko is more powerfull then Ranma, and has a very nasty temper if
you upset her. Chances are Ranma would be rethinking his insults almost
immeditily...

	OTOH, she's not the type to cause harm to anyone she loves (yes,
I'm convinced she was only playing with Tenchi in OAV#1) and would be more
likely to break down and cry if Ranma hit a nerve with his mouth.  The
power differential _would_ be likely to grate on Ranma (sexist pig that he
is) somewhat, and Washuu would be an... intresting Mother in law.

2) Priss (BGC)

If you forget about the time difference, you have essentially the same
tension as the Ryouko one (unless Priss is sans Hardsuit...). Still it
would be fun to see Ranma against Genom (Ranmapunk plug here for Mr
Biles...^^)

	Priss-sama put up with a macho egomaniacal _kid_ like RANMA?!?
Nene or Linna I could see, but Saotome would get shot down in a heartbeat
assuming he fails to get shot by Sylia as a security risk.

6) Urd (O/AMG!!)

Heh...This could just write it self...Espically when Urd finds out Ranma's
secret...

	Ohh man....
	Shampoo or Ryoko would be bad enough, but the Cupid of Love would
all but scare him off (and no, it wouldn't suprise me if Urd liked
Onna-Ranma as well).
	OTOH, Ranma's new in-laws would be... interesting; and Urd's
attempts to play matchmaker would, given _his_ luck, be traced right back
to his doorstep

11) Miyu (Vampire Princess Miyu..)

Somehow I can see Genma doing this, just because it's Genma...^^

	The personality conflict with Larva (Lover?) would just about take
the cake.

14) Lum (Urusei Yatsura)

Imagine Akane souped up with Lighting and space mecha, and even a Ranma
hater would start to feel sorry for him. Of course with Ataru and the Lum
stormtropers even Ranma might be running from a fight after awhile.

	I see Lum as more of a Shampoo-clone than Akane, and given the
fact that Ranma is normally chased _by_ girls I'd doubt he'll be Target
#1.
	However, Akane's "cooking" has nothing on Oni Cuisine.

17) Pai (3x3 eye's)

Hmm, well Ranma could fight good. Make him a Wuu and near immortal and
pair him with Pai and...(Gee, yet another Megumi vs Megumi pairing...:)

	I dunno... Pai might get along with him but I see _serious_ ego
conflicts with Paravati IV....

19) Lynn Minemi (Macross)

I don't know, since I threw Gundam in there I had to put in Macross...^^

	Man, what did Ranma ever do to you?

21) Dominique Destine aka Demona of Clan Wyvern (Gargoyles)
	Hey she's obcenely rich, attractive, brilliant, and ambitious.  So
what if she's gaijin and a little older than he is? ^_-

	(the scary part is, someone's already doing this story)

Anyway...there it is...So flame away Fiancee fan's, you've got some knew
compition on the block...^^

Ja ne!!
