I've have a couple of ideas that I would like to see if anybody can do
something with.

1. I'm using Ranma for my examples, but I think this idea could be used
with a lot of other series. 
What would happen if say, Genma's mother stopped by the Dojo looking for
her son and grandchild. I've not read anything that gives any info on
Ranma's or the Tendo sisters's grandparents so you could use any sort of
personality that seems right. 
 In other series the grandparents ( if not already in the story) could
be used.

2. Ranma story Alternate history

What if Genma when he leaves Nodoka with the toddler Ranma, remembers a
story told by a drunken Happosai about a training ground in China. The
story as Genma remembers is dunk a child in the springs and he will be a
great martial artist. So the trip to China occurs when Ranma is about
2-3 years  old. At Jusenkyo Genma sure he is right ignores the Guide and
dunks his son in a random spring.  Spring of Drowned Girl. For this fics
purposes all this will do is change the sex. While a fic about a 2-3
year old that turns into a 16 year old might be interesting

This one could turn into an interesting lemon...
