Okay, this is gonna sound strange, but I do not want any commentary
that could somehow better this fic. Now, let me explain. This is my
attempt at making the worst non-lemon Ranma fanfiction ever and
I pretty much know that it's bad. What I need to know is how to make
it even worse. Should I add a flying talking dog? Should there be
whole paragraphs of nonsensical  jibberish? You tell me. Thank you
for your
time and now on with the show.

Okay, here's some things you can do to increase the gawd-awfulness of
this fic:

1> Bad line breaks.
2> More incorrect homonyms!  Protect your fic's bad typing from
Spellcheck!
3> Remember, almost any sentence can be rewritten in the passive voice,
if you're willing to mangle it enough!
EX:   "Ranma went to the store."="The store was gone to by Ranma."
4> Clarify chronology by using the word "then" at the beginning of any
action sentences.
5> Definitely more footnotes--you don't want your readers to miss ANY
of your subtlties.
6> Likewise, make sure that you include definitions for each of the
fifty different varieties of "speech" you might need: Japanese,
Chinese, English, Alien, thoughts, writing, Chinese thoughts, etc....

Hope this "helps".
