Have a charater that you like write a essay on something (any format.)
Came up with some doozys
Ranma 1/2
Kasumi (Seinor paper) Why I will stay home, instead of going to college
Kuno Why the Pigtailed Girl and Akane Tendo should be mine.
Kodachi/Ukyo/Shampoo.. Why Ranma should Marry Me.
Sailor Moon
Any of the Senshi on why it is their duty to be a Senshi
Rei... On why Usagi is such a airhead
Ami... Value of studying.
Tenchi Muyo
Ryoko/Akeya Why Tenchi should Marry ME.
I'm sure there are more...
This is simliar to the idea "Person" writes a fanfic...

The hard part about this is trying to come up with ideas that make an
entertaining essay. While one could certainly come up with an
entertaining three to five pages of windy Kuno ridiculousness, some of
the others would be harder:
***
_Why Usagi is such an airhead_
By HINO Rei
She just is. I don't know why.
***
And even if the character has something to say, it still has to be
interesting to us, the readers. While I'm sure Ami could fill page
after page with earnest dullness on the topic of studying, I can't
imagine anyone wanting to read any of it. Even her teacher would fall
asleep.
Finally, the character has to be able to write entertainingly. Rei
Ayanami would probably be out, for example.
