Somewhat interesting though are you sure your not repeating a now common
theme when it comes to repeating a story where the main character (Ranma)
goes back to some point in the past to make sure that his relationship
with Akane works out (if that is indeed possible). There are a few out
there that are similiar to your story.
No offense meant, the last thing I want to do is sound like some stuck
up jerk who would critique everyone but himself.
Its just that there are *SO* many fics where Ranma ends up with Akane
through a host of different circumstances ranging from waffy to dark.
This may in itself be the reason that people have grown tired of Ranma
fics and have openly complained on the FFML. Without some veriety on
the ending all such stories with the same pairing in the end become...well......boring.
That is also what I find surprising. If Ranma were to end up with Akane
then Genma would have gotten away with every small crime and act of dishonor
virtually scot free while at the same time ensuring his own retirement.
Sure he may get the crap beaten out of him but he wont suffer any long
term effects.
Does anybody actually want that to happen? Or would they actually want
Genma to suffer for all the crimes he's committed, especially over a
longer period of time?
I am not an Akane basher. Its just that there are too many Ranma+Akane
fics out there to make anything original without crossing it with another
anime series, and even then when you have a rough outline of how the
fic will end it may not keep your interest.
I know, I know. There are some great epic fics out there, but even if
the next..oh say ten Ranma+Akane fics were great epics the whole premise
would be boring, tedious, and repetative.
Maybe I have become a bit too cynical. If that is indeed the case then
I appologize. I just thought that I should give voice to a potential
problem, or at least something that might bore people to death.
Well thats my rant for the week.
