We've seen Ryoga-Ukyo, Ryoga-Akari, Ryoga-Ranma (in both sexes) and even
Ryoga-Kodachi matchup fics.  Someone has even written an amusing teaser for
Ryoga-Azusa.  But there are few Ryoga-Akane matchups.  Why not more?  And
the ones that I can recall usually involve something shady (e.g. "Lies") or
else takes place in an alternative universe where Ranma is not in
contention for Akane.  Is it the P-chan factor?  What about Ryoga-Shampoo,
Ryoga-Nabiki, or even Ryoga-Kasumi (Redneck, when will we see the rest of
the computer dating story)?  What would make the less common pairings
believable, or at least allow sufficient suspension of disbelief?
