Anime fanfiction is the continuation of original anime by other means...

...to successfully write an anime fanfic, one must abide by all of the 
Principles of Fanfiction, elaborated herein:

1) No truly prolific fanfiction writer uses their own name, or even a 
pseudonym that remotely resembles a real name.  Tags should abide by the 
follwing conventions.

	a) The inclusion of the prefix shadow, night, red, black, star, or 	
	white should invariably be rooted by no words other than hawk, wolf, 
	or fox, wind, or storm.

	b) Bastardizations of common names (i.e. Christopher - Crys) may
	prove invaluable to authors seeking to write self insertations.

	c) Additionally, SI authors may also consider naming themselves (and 	
	their characters) after common weather conditions.  Blizzard, Rain,
	Galewind, Snowstorm (refer to section 1a), and Hail.  Smog, Fog, and
	Downpour tend to make pour self-appellations.

2) A true fanfic writer must saturate the audience with a sufficient number 
of Ranma 1/2 fanfics; thus appending a fresh quality to any non-R1/2 fanfic 
he or she may produce.

3) A true fanfic writer understands that any deviation from Original Flavor 
in the Sailor Moon genre is invariably dark.

	a) A wise fanfic writer knows that any change in Ami's introvert 
	character must be justified with a Ranma 1/2 fanfic employing a
	similar shift in Kasumi's personality.  Thus, the establishment of a 
	precedent will reduce the fierce (and <nod to Tybalt> illegal) 
	criticism regarding this choice in characterization.

That's it for now...I'm going to bed...talks amongst yourselves...
