That makes the two of us, and probably 90% of fans. It's called OOC.

Actually, if you've read fanfiction enough (and I mean *read*, Gubs, not
just scanned over a fic and spouted bullshit as frequent intervals of
time), you would realize that the hyper-honorable Ranma is a fanfic
convention. 

OOC doesn't mean that a character does something he normally 
wouldn't--it's when a character is no longer recognizable as canon. 

Yup.  And a continuation fic isn't one that is after vol 38, it's one that
goes for more than a couple of chapters, right?  And published authors
never write any scene description or character development in their
stories, right?

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
