er...no.  Not really believable.

You've taken a genre and kept nothing but the names consistant.  That's
it.

If I take a Tom Clancy novel, and rename all the characters within to
random Ranma names, does it become a Ranma fanfic?  If I take Urusei
Yatsura, and rename Oyuki as Kei, and Benten as Yuri, does it
automatically become a Dirty Pair fusion?

Of course not!  So, just how is this a Slayers fic?  Neither backstory nor
characterization remain the same.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I had been betrayed.  "Tell me,"
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao," he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
