nobody pays any attention to anything that isn't in the Ranma-verse.

As a writer of Ranma fics, I can assure you that my response rate is
significantly worse than 1/10 of the list -- and my average is higher
than many
others'.

Well, I've recevied a fair number of resposnes to my various Ranma
fanfics, but...

When I did my first EVA fanfic I recieved much more that I ever did for
a single Ranma story. Once Garden of EVA shows up on RAAC I may even got
more.

So, it'll vary...There is a lot of Ranma fanfics so non-Ranma fics are
sometimes refreshing, but again since Ranma is so popular in general,
there is likely to be more of a demand for Ranma stories. Hence why
there are so many Ranma fanfics out there in the first place.

Personally, I right Ranma (and now EVA) fanfics because that is where my
interest and passion lies right now. I will eventually do other anime
fanfics, but I have more of a passion for Ranma right now. Untilt he
final EVA episodes I really had no ideas for a EVA fanfic, but epsidoes
26 gave me an setting that didn't end with the destruction of the human
race, so I jumped in.

What I'm saying is...write what you enjoy writting. If the other fans
like it, great. IF you can mess with their minds with plot twists, even
greater. If you get unsolicited thousand dollar checks in the
mail...you're dreaming.
