I am attempting to write a story. I would like to know what is considered
high quality around here.  Which stories are considered the best anime
fanfics?

  Some of the best non-Ranma fics are:

  Scenes From a Life (Oh My Goddess) - Geoff Depew 

  No Mere Mortal (Oh My Goddess) - Ed Sharpe

  So Many Memories (Oh My Goddess) - TimeRunner

  Transitions (All Pupose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku) - Richard Lawson

  Kimagure Orange College - a cycle of stories by various authors 

  

  and in addition to the Ranma stories WebDragon listed (not all of which I
agree with)

  Joseph Palmer's Seasons cycle and Colors cycle - collectively the best
Ranma/Akane romance fics

  Stepping Stones: Ukyou's Tale - Benares 

  I would also add

  Life's Dulse Moments - Leslie Mills

  although not as well written as some others in a purely technical sense,
it is the epitome of a truly pun-ishing story.  Even Zen isn't as bad. 

  BTW, were the Nabiki identity wars ever resolved or is the list still
graced with the presence of two Nabikis?
