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?


Differing powers is a crossover.  A fusion is something like "Ranwars" 
where you take the characters and place them in the roles of the 
characters from other series.

What if Tarou crossed into the WOT universe?

shock.

"The number one sign you've read too many fanfics....  You've written a 
Bubblegum Crisis fic, and you've never seen the series... ever."

with a promise of stranger things to come.
