Greetings everyone,

I have an idea I wish to share with the List, (also ask if anyone has
done this already)...

	What if Ranma asked like Akane?  I don't mean that Ranma and Akane
switch bodies, although that would be an interesting story in itself, I
mean what if Ranma malleted Akane instead of calling her "tomboy" or
malletting Shampoo when she "gloomp" him.... I suppose this is the tip
of the iceberg since it depends on the author how far Ranma acting like
Akane will go...

That would solve a _lot_ of his problems--assuming Ranma also has Akane's
near supernatural ability to almost never miss and always use disabling
force.  That would eliminate Shampoo and Kodachi's glomping (you can only
be hit so many times with a mallet before you decide that what you're
doing is a bad idea--too bad it doesn't work with respect to Ranma's
mouth).  Neither of them would stop chasing him, but it would cut down on
the excess.  Kuno would find himself in dire straights and I'm fairly sure
P-chan (Ryoga in cursed form only) wouldn't be pleased (hey, if Akane can
mallet Ranma for being glomped, shouldn't he be able to mallet Ryoga for
glomping?)

Here's an idea for an alternate universe fic...

Akane visited Jusenkyo (yes I know this sounds like Emily's "Double
Trouble", but it's not) and died there.  Ranma shows up later and falls
into Spring of Drowned Akane; and now when he gets we he turns into Akane.
Three possiblities for this:
1) he has the same female body as in the series, but has Akane's
personality in female form
2) he has Akane's body, but not her personality
3) he has Akane's body in female form _and_ her personality

who wants to do this one?
 

If someone else wish to go this idea go ahead...
