<< Here's something that might make an interesting spamfic (or more)
 
 	A Ranma/UY Fusion (NOT a X-Over) >>

Well, as one of the UY fans on the FFML, I really can't see how this idea
could work.

<<Akane Tendou as the randomly chosen martial artist who has ten days to
defeat
an alien invader in hand to hand combat.>> 

Akane as an Ataru substitute?  Remember, Ataru was really pathetic in the Tag
Match.  Akane would be pretty good, but might need a little luck.

<<Ranma Saotome as the alien who ends up engaged to an earthling.>>

The engagement part fits, but I can't see Ranma in tiger stripes.  (Maybe
Ranma-chan ^_-)  Besides, Ranma isn't in the same league as Lum-sama.

<<Ukyou, Shampoo & Kodachi as Ranma's 'Gang of Three.'>>

Cute.  But I don't see any connection between the three girls and Megane,
Kakugari, Chibi, and Paama, except for the obsession part.  And the three
girls combined couldn't out-scheme Megane.

<<Ryouga, as Akane's jealous would-be boyfriend (a la Shinobu.)>>

No connection, unless you want Akane to be a pervert (a la Ataru.)  Ryouga
only acts violently towards Ranma.  Shinobu rarely acts violently towards Lum.

<<Kuno as Mendou? (seems too easy a fit, & lacking in comedic shock
value...)>>

Now this might fit, but Mendou has those fears of his, as well as being as big
a pervert as Ataru.  Kuno only has his stupidity and his twin obsessions
towards Akane and his "pig-tailed goddess.)

<<Happy, as the Tendou's most unwelcome houseguest, in place of Cherry.>>

Well, Cherry is only annoying, not a panty-stealing pervert.  Besides, who
would play Sakura?  And Cherry only appears at the Moroboshi's house; he
doesn't live there.

But if you want to write it, I'll C&C it.

      ---I can't see anyone in the Ranma cast who would be the role of my
favorite male member of UY, Mizunokoji Tobimaro.  Afraid of strong-willed
women with a well-developed sense of honor.  Only one I see is Dr. Tofu, but
he likes Kasumi.
