While I'm working on The Isanity Continues and The Nekoken Is Out Of The
Bag and The Night After Series, I've got a bunch of other fic ideas that I
might one day write (but probably won't). 

If you like the idea and want to use it, use it.

------

Time Lost:

The idea is that unusually harse upbringing of Pantyhose, without parents
and generally wandering Ryoga style (he can find his way, he just doesn't
have anyplace to go), is necessary for some climatic battle. Ranma and
Akane not only find out about the battle and the pivotal role that he
plays, but that they are his parents! A very pregnant Akane is sent back
in time so that Pantyhose can fulfill fate. A good portion of the fic
would be Ranma and Pantyhose talking about the revelation, and one of the
wierdest father-son bondings ever.

	<snip>

I don't know if I'll ever write this as it would be rather serious.

	Blade.  Would.  _KILL_!  You.  For.  This. 
	GO FOR IT!

--------

Right of Possession:

Akane wakes up after a battle with Shampoo, a battle in which Ranma was
the prize. Akane won the battle, <snip>

	I get the feeling that you're an Akane Fan but frankly, You're
Nuts (even if a chi-blast alone could close the gap btween them, I
suspect 'Poo would get serious about training again if Akane started
catching up).

	<snip>

Time Alone

A silly version of Bridging the Gap where Akane desprately tries to get
some time alone with Ranma, but everything and everyone keeps interrupting
them just as she would get to talk about their feelings.

Two possible endings:

	<snip #1 (been done)>

2. Akane gets upset at her father and Genma and screams something like,
"How am I suppose to tell that baka that I love him, if you keep
interrupting me!"

	^_^ Cute.

Winning Big

<snip> Ranma and Akane get drunk and well, wake up with evidence that
they visited the ship's wedding chapel the previous night.

The main scene I plotted out for this is Ranma and Akane talking the
morning after, get abducted by Soun and Genma, and are taken back to the
wedding chapel. You can imagine how everyone react when the minister
says to Ranma and Akane, "Back again?"

	LOL!!!

Animayhem: World's Collide

It starts with an innocent looking coke bottle found at an archeological
dig a of dinosaur. The archeologist writes it off as being left behind by
an assistant. He tosses it over his shoulder and it breaks. 

PROBLEM: That wasn't a coke bottle, but an item used to keep worlds
seperate. It is disguised as an everyday item and well hidden to prevent
its destruction or someone finding a way to use it.

Immediately the anime worlds represented in the first set of Animayhem
merge into a super world. It becomes evident that soon more worlds will
combine. The worlds are combined in a chaotic fasion (One world's New York
may exist just south of another world's Tokyo, while another New York is
scattered over the four winds, and yet another New York is in Anartica.)

	<snip>

	This Rocks.  Do It.

Past meets Future.

Yuri, from Dirty Pair, is having a family reunion and decides to track her
family tree. She finds out that her partner, Kai, may be related to her.
The problem being the common ancestor they would share would have had to
given birth to their differing ancestors almost a century a part.
Searching for information on them is surprisingly difficult, and the
information they get gives at most a years worth of information per
decade. There was no way of telling if they were the same people. Yuri
could not get enough information to link them by the time they are sent on
a mission. During the mission they run into two people who not only were
using her ancestor's name, but looked the same as they did in a photo she
found of her ancestors. The names of her ancestors Ranma and Akane
Saotome.

	9_9 Why am I not suprised?
	Actually I fear Chris Davies will come after you for ripping him
off (check his family trees for Together Again if you don't believe me).

This would be ridiculously silly when Ranma and Akane work with the Dirty
Pair. Though this would explain why everything seem to be destroyed when
the Lovely Angles come to vist. The only problem is what kind of power
level do you think Akane would have being over 400 years-old, let alone
Ranma.

	Let me put it this way, have you seen Dragonball?

	The big nit here is this; while Akane is more than a match for a
typical Jock or twenty she is too... mundane for me to see her becoming an
Immortal Martial Arts Master (to her the Art is little more than a hobby). 
The most likely Immortals among the Ranma cast aside from the Geezers from
what I've seen (barring a Highlander scenario) are Shampoo, Ranma, Ryoga,
and _maybe_ Mousse.

	Personally, I think it would work better like this: Kei manages to
track down her decent from Ranma and Akane... only to bump into and try to
seduce the former on vacation (he's become a sad and lonely wanderer upon
Akane's death centuries ago, living only for the art).  Ranma, Kei and
Yuri rapidly find themselves in the midst of a three way conflict between
Shasti (I _LIKE_ HER!!), an all-female secret society led by Yuri's
semi-estranged and mysteriously ageless Great-Grandmother (a few
concubines here, a few concubines there...), and a shadowy threat with
it's hooks deep inside the 3WA.
	Of course any (re)kindling romance between one whose heart has
been cut out by the curse of immortal youth and another whose heart has
always remained in the former's hand would be the icing on the cake. ^_-

Ending the Madness:
(Long Series)

Yet another fic idea that intends to tie up the loose end at the end of
Manga volume 38.

The night of the 'bombed wedding' Ranma and Akane come to the agreement
that they did want to get married and decide to remove their suitors by
almost any means possible. Of course as this is R&A planning it, things
rarely work as planned.

I have it the following plotted:
Chapter 1: Ranma and Akane talk. 

	They've neede to do this since day one.

Chapter 2: Last Date with Shampoo
	Akane talks to Mousse about legally breaking
		Ranma/Shampoo engagement.

	Should have been done long ago, but wouldn't really work anyway
('Poo loves the guy)

	Ranma dumps Shampoo.
	Shampoo takes it really badly.

	Define 'badly' (murderous? suicidal? snaps totally?)

	Originally had Mousse defeat Shamps motiff but won't use it.

	Please don't.

Chapter 3: Forever Friends
	Talk with Ukyou.
	Ukyou tries to kill Ranma.

	Unlike a lot of people, this would absolutely fail to suprise me.

	Ukyou recovers.(But still not happy)

	As expected.

Chapter 4: Kuno Attacks
	Kodachi discovers the truth about the curse.
	Goes REALLY nuts.

	Why?  One of her rivals has just been revealed to be an illusion
and she may consider it a superb jest.

	Gets committed.

	Ahh, you just want her Out Of The Way <frowns>

Chapter 5: Shampoo vs Akane
	Shampoo challanges Akane for Ranma

	The Tendo Woman would get mangled, but as Ranma loves her anyway
it would do little good (might drive things home for 'Poo)

Chapter 6: Bracelet of Hugging (Might make a one-shot version of this)
	Akane acidently get a braclet that forces guys to hug her.
	Ranma gets upset.
	Akane realizes that Ranma never wanted to be glomped by Shamps.
	Akane cured and appoligizes to Ranma.

	ABOUT TIME!!

Chapter 7: Planning Ahead
	Wedding information finalized and debated.

	Too soon.  I think those two have _years_ of growing up to do
before a marriage is viable (to marry them off immediately without dealing
with their problems fully could produce a Bitter Ending to thier
relationship <ducks>).

	Kuno vs Ranma (formal challenge)

	And this is signifigant because?

	Akane's classroom daydream

Chapter 8: Festival of Fun
	Dunk Tank - Jusenkyo Curse style. (being worked into TIC)
	Ranma and Ryoga find out just how good an actress Akane is.

	Does P-Chan get the beating he deserves?

Chapter 9: Family visitation
	The family comes to visit in preparation of the next Chapter

Chapter 10: The Wedding
	See Chapter 4 of Trapped (TIC v1c4).

	I say again, too soon.

Other event used for filler:
Nodoka refers to Nabiki/Kuno meeting as a date causing them to think about
	there relationship. (Is it all business?)

	Yes (do you _really_ think Nabiki has any respect or romantic
feelings for the dork?)

This was a series that I had plotted before starting The Insanity
Continues, but the plot line had several flaws that could've been fixed,
but I had the EVIL idea of taking what was suppose to be a one-shot Lemon,
Trapped, and running with it.

	Such things happen.
