You don't need to apologize to anyone. Personally I perfer the darker

fanfics over the sappy

Ranma-based fanfics. If the people you are talking about don't like them,

that's their problem, 

not yours. There's no need for you to feel guilty over it. and you're

right, Dire Fates is a great

read. 

Well, my AMG fic Honeymoon was accused by some people (mostly Urd
fans) as being way too dark, and I thought it was about as WAFFy
as they come (they NOT being Bell and K1, get your mind out of the
gutter, you're blocking my view).
