Hrm.  Got two points to make myself, really.

1) It's pointless to tell people on the list NOT to write something.
   For better or worse, the net's the land of opportunity, pursuit
   of happiness and all that.  IMHO, there've been some damn
   hellacious gaudy fics lately, but I figure if the author's
   happy, who am I to hit people with reality?

1b) Write what you want, it's as free country.

1c) Don't like it, don't read it.

2) that being said, after reading several attempts, I am now of
   the firm belief that a good Ranma/Eva crossover CANNOT be
   done.  Why not?  Same reason you won't have Lodoss War
   crossing over with Power Rangers any time soon.

   Different genres.  Entirely too different.

   Ki blasts and incredible martial artists just don't fit
   in the Evangelion universe, just my opinion.

   Yeah, I've read 'For the sake of the Children'.
   Nice polish, fair plotting, but I just don't buy the
   setup.  If you apply Ranma 1/2 rules to the EVA universe,
   angels would get their asses handed to them by the
   students of Furinkan High alone.  And then there's the
   OTHER martial artists...
