I won't hold writing a continuation fic against you. When you post a 
real Ranma fanfic (ie, not spam, an SI, dark, an xover, or a 
continuation fic) I will give it my fair consideration.

Naturally.  I had forgotten that you were able to define what consitutes 
to a real Ranma fanfic.  No doubt if I ever write one, you will be as 
fair as you have been to other authors you've taken your time to comment 
to.  I'll even make an effort to avoid the use of the word 'gi'.

Continuation fics get deleted because they have, by nature, no point. A 
writer who writes a continuation fic really isn't writing a fanfic, 

he's 

engaging in mental masturbation; feels good, but is ultimately 
pointless.

Mental masturbation?  Interesting.  What position exactly does this 
leave those who read continuation fics in?
