What do you think?


Ukyo will hate you for this.

I don't see why.  Ranma wasn't there when she needed her.  And would
she be ungrateful to someone who saved her life???
Please think about it.

Actually, this sounds awfully like, with the substitution of Ukyo for
Nabiki, the intro for 'Turning Road'.

And yes, she could hate you. She 'hates' Ryoga, even though he's saved her
so many times already.

The Nerima crowd is funny, that way.

About the self-insertion biz, let me just say that 'Gratuitous Self' came
out because of several BAD self-insertion fics. If you manage to write it
well (in fact, it has to be even better written than normal fics, in my
observations about the list, since have a bias to overcome), then by all
means. If not, well... prepare for several old-timers to activate the
killfile.

Oh, yes, as it stands, several Ukyo-lovers are going to hate you, no matter
what you do.

If you really plan to go through with this, then I wish you the best of
luck, and all the guts you can muster.
