The tyranny of Ranma 1/2 is crumbling!

Forgive my ignorance, but what tyrrany are we talking about?

Have writers of non-Ranma fics been thrown into dungeons? Had their
knees broken? Had their net access cancelled? I'd really like to know.

I'm not trying to pick on Key in particular here -- I've been seeing a
*lot* of this kind of comment lately. As someone who decides for myself
what to read and write, and allows others to do the same, I ask all of
you: What is the problem?

And BTW, Ranma fics do not automatically get loads of C&C, as some
people may think. Things are rough all over. I know one author who
abandoned his series midway through and left FFML because of the
near-zero response he got from it. And yes, it was a Ranma fic.
