Subject: [FFML][SPAM] Progress Report and Idea

Sorry for the Spam, I'll be brief.

        Preying Angels Chapter Six will be released to the ML tonight.
Chapter seven is being written now.

        Jet Moto Chapter three is on hold, pending responses to Chapter two.
If responses are as few as they have been so far, I'll probably discontinue it.

        As for the idea, well, it's a Ranma 'fic (no surprise, really).

        I've been trying to write a fanfic that dealt with some serious
issues in general, crime in particular. 

        In that vein, Nerima is a relatively crime-free area. Aside from
panty-theft and property damage, anyway. =)

        The Yakuza has seen this, and feels that the area would be good for
their business ventures.

        How does this affect Ranma & Co.? Well, Ucchan's and the Nekohanten
get approached by Yakuza with their protection racket for starters. Also,
increased influx of drugs in Furinkan, gangs, basically the downfall of Nerima.

        How will Ranma & Co. respond? Well, they'd fight back, of course.
This will provoke the Yakuza to violence as well, and war erupts.

        I know this isn't the best-written presentation of a fanfic idea,
but I haven't had time to really flesh it out yet. Would anyone be
interested in reading this? Also, does anyone have any ideas on how to flesh
out the plot?

        Thanks, and sorry about the Spam.
