Another bright new year rolls around, and I post the second annual list of
Great Works of Fanfiction that we probably, certainly, absolutely, almost
assuredly will be seeing this year at about the same time Hell opens a ski

Very funny, Mike, but ya forgot about most of us newer authors. :p

This is meant in fun, so please don't anyone kill me. :-)


1. For Love or Monastery, by Donny Cheng

   Ranma has an accident with the "anti-girl powder" that he used
against Happosai, and becomes permanently cursed by it. With all members
of the female sex repulsed by him, he runs away to a monastery and lives
out his life in quiet contemplation, until he's found by Akane seventy
years later.

2. The Pools of Horror County, by Gary Kleppe

   Sasuke travels around Japan and China. A 5 Mb fic with no real plot,
just beautiful poetic descriptions of the scenery as seen by the Kunos'
loyal ninja servant. The author's notes ask for requests for previous
parts to be posted to FFML, but that meaningful comments on the story be
sent privately.

3. Never Silly, by Florencio de la Merced Jr.

   Ranma and Akane lecture a young girl (and the readers) on why
pre-marital sex is wrong. They then decide that they don't like each
other all that much, and end up eloping with Ukyo and Ryoga,
respectively.

4. The Price of Passing, by Cindy Toler

   Ryoga spends a quiet day studying for his high school equivalency
exam. The rest of the cast go through numerous adventures and
situations, as the Lost Boy remains at home uninvolved.

5. Love and Whore, by Ethan Tsai

   An accident involving passion spice, pun dulse, and an explosion
turns Nerima into the site of a huge orgy of love-making and wordplay.
Fortunately, everything is back to normal the next day.
