Although I've seen both UY and Ranma, I never realized how similar Lum and

Akane!

Actually, I would rate Lum MUCH higher in terms of jealousy and
possessiveness. She's tried some very under-handed ways of bringing her
"darling" under control that I couldn't possibly imagine Akane doing.

So why are there countless Akane-bashing threads and fics, but not many
for Lum? I guess it's easier to forgive someone who goes around in a
tiger-striped bikini. :-)

Of course, the fact that Ranma fics are practically the lifeblood of the 
list, while UY fics are rather uncommon, might just have something to do
with it.

	I think it's the same reason no one ever writes a fict that's 
sympathetic toward Happosei about being beaten up by women who's underwear 
he's stolen.
