Okay, maybe we're all sick of challenges, but I got this idea and, given
that since I have six or seven fics in production, I don't have time to
write it.  Perhaps, though, someone else has lots of time and is just
looking for a cool idea, so...

"What if Ukyou really *had* been a boy?"

It's an alterniverse - well, most of the stuff I make up is. :)  I don't
think this has already been done (meaning that I've not seen it anywhere,
if it has, please drop me the name of it so I can look it up on tass/RAAC),
so if you're interested by the concept, feel free to grab it. :)

	Another thing that's never been done, suppose Genma did take Ukyou 
with him and Ranma, only when she grew up NEITHER one of them wanted to get 
married after all.  In every story where Ukyou goes with Ranma at age 6, the 
two grow up together and fall madly in love and either get married, or one 
of them dies and the other becomes psychotic.  Suppose instead they both 
grew up together and thought of each other as brother and sister, with 
neither of them desiring to actually push their relationship toward romance.

  That would certainly seem to reduce the complications in Ranma's life
unless either felt that honor required the marriage.  Assuming that is not
the case, Ukyou's life would become more complicated.  Apart from possibly
gaining a curse, she would become a focus for Shampoo and Kodachi because
her support would seem essential to getting Ranma.  She might also become a
target of Kuno's affections.
