If fanfic writers only wrote what was "plausible," what would the point?
Personally, I think some of these couples might have potential (of course,
this comes from the guy who specializes in Ten-Kiyo fics, but still...).

Could it because those are the plausible couples?

mean, with El Hazard, it's usually Makoto/Ifurita, in Ranma, it's
Ranma/Ukyou, Ranma/Akane,Ranma/Kodachi, Ranma/Shampoo? I for one would
like to see more fics with unique couples in them, or rarely-done
couples. Some examples would be:

Ranma/Kima
Ranma/Akari
Makoto/ Anyone female from El Hazard except for Ifurita(Or maybe the TV
version Ifu)
Shinji/Anyone but Rei and Asuka.
Tenchi/Kiyone (well, I seem to have a fondness for this match-up)
Inu Yasha/Sango

    That's about all I can think of. Oh, and if anyone else has seen a
fic with some of the pairings up above, could you please send it to me?
Thanks.
