Just out of interest, why is it there are so many SM fics out there where
the sugar level is enough to kill everyone on the planet, while when you
look at the Ranma fics, there are hardly any at all?

This is perhaps the first time I've ever seen someone complain there
weren't enough Ranma fics.

Eh? This wasn't a complaint really that there wasn't enough Ranma fic's,
it was more a comment on the fact that there are more Sailor Moon fic's
which gush cuteness than there are Ranma fic's....

As for the reason this is the case, well SM has more chances for an
author to venture into cuteness and other things of the ilk. It's got a
cuter character design, it has a few Shoujo love plots, and it's got stuff
like the 'Pink Sugar Heart attack'. 

Ranma, well...Umm... Ranma doesn't have a lot of cuteness to it. Yeah
Takahashi does a nice job on character designs, but they are not cute
(espically compared to alot of other anime designs). It's more a martial
arts comedy with a dash of shonen romance thrown in. Thus it's harder to
whip in sugary elements into Ranma 1/2..

All IMSO of course.....

Ja ne!!
