Sorry, I have to get this off my chest.

<SNIP Ranma/WoT idea>
IT'S BEEN DONE.

No, it hasn't.  Not a serious fic, anyway.

Read "Ta'averen 1/2" by John Biles and Jeremy Blackmun.  

T1/2 is a parody of WoT and otakuism (IMO).  It completely subverts the 
feeling of WoT by making all the enemies completely silly.

This is not to say that T1/2 is BAD.  On the contrary, it's very good.  
But it's a Ranma/WoT fusion in the same way Evanjellydonut (nod to 
'Drew) is a NGE fic.

What I expect Wyvern was looking for was something a little more 
serious.

<SNIP advice to new authors>

Well said, Nick.

Didn't Louis-Philippe Giroux just post his Ranma/WoT
fic (Differing Powers) a couple of days ago?


		Kudos, 
		Wyvern
