It seems that the only fics revolving around this ML is just
Ranma/EVA/Tenchi and SM....though someother fics do pops up once a
while. Not to drag or nag but is anyone out there writing up other than
these fics????? 

Will some oldtimer tell this poor boy about the days when messages like
this read...

"Why is every fic on here Ranma????"

"Damn kids these days!  Always whining about Ranma/EVA/Tenchi fics, Damn 
It!  I remember back in the good old days when all we had was Flintstone 
fics.  And they were carved on stone!  And there wasn't even any E-Mail, 
White Wolf sent the damn things by catipult.  Those were the good old 
days!  Back then really big fics were used to lay seige to castles!  I 
remember when a good fic was a short fic, cause it didn't hurt if you 
dropped it on your toe."

"You think you got it so hard ya snot nosed kids!  Why don't you get a 
bike!  Comb your teeth and wash the gold fish, Damn It!  Do I have to do 
everything around here?!"
