*Phil dusts off the Soap Box...*
Been a while since I've used this sucker...
*Gets up on it*
The reason I say "Heck, no!" to this, is because *everything* gets
crossed with Ranma.  People sit down, watch a great new anime, and the
first thing that comes to mind is, "Hey, this would be great if Ranma
were in it!"  No!  No it wouldn't!  Saber Marionette is perfect on its
lonesome.  The characters are wonderful, and if you want to write a
fanfic, use them.  There is a serious lack of SMJ fanfiction out there.
Now, I don't have anything against Ranma crossovers (doing one myself as
I speak)... but geez... little overboard maybe?  Lastly, I am not aiming
this at you Motoko Chan... you just happened to be the one to post the
straw that broke the camel's back.  The history of fanfiction has shown
that any given anime will be crossed with Ranma... and most likely
Sailor Moon... perhaps Tenchi, UY, DragonBall, or BGC... it's as if
there is no other anime out there.  Plenty has been released in America!
A handful of people have written about Nuku Nuku... it's a wonderful
series with *so* much room for expansion.  There's TTS Airbats...
there's Ushio & Tora... there's Armitage III.  They are all wonderful,
and never receive any fanfic time as far as I know (if anyone reading
this knows of a place that has fics from these series', please send a
URL).  
This has been ranted about before, and I just think a little reminder is
due.  No offense intended, and I certainly don't want to see Ranma fics
vanish.  I'd be a hypocrite in that case.  Just saying, "Broaden your
horizons."
Thank you for your time.
