Please remember this is an parallel world story and not an
alternate world story. So where people are not what you
expect, it's because they never were the people you expect.
Frankly you should have put this disclaimer right at the begining. The
characters had very little resemblence to the origionalls except in physical
description, and signature cliche. Indeed the fict might work a better if
it was done from the AMG side, and involved origional characters. Well, the
whole question of OOC can be resolved by examining a few factors: How
severe is the OOC, and how does the OOC affect the fundamental conflicts of
the series.
And frankly the main problem I have with this new series in general, is
less the extreme OOC, than the fact that the appartent purpose of that OOC
is as a way of simply writing out all the central conflict of Ranma that you
don't want to deal with. I'm not saying that your new conflicts wouln't be
interesting in and of themself, just that by simply stopping the origional
conflicts instead of having them become absorbed by and eventually eclipsed
by the new problems created by Ranma new life. Metaphoricaly, instead of
turning the car onto a new road, your stopping it in the middle of the road,
getting out to push it into a new direction, then getting back in and trying
to get it started up again. Your basically starting by introducting Ranma
and saying "The following reasons to give a damn about him are not just gone
but never existed. You must care about him for these reasons instead."
Anyways I'm not saying that the fict doesn't have some fascinating
possibilities. They might be very implausable, but there are some
interesting possibilities. (Although I would much rather see a fict where
Ranma was actually Mara's kid brother. Hmm, perhapse a wierdly phrased wish
by Demon contractee Genma might have caused the just impregnated demon to
contract with Nodoka so that Ranma essentially had two mothers. And it
would explain why Mara hung around the goddesses so much while they were
growing up.)
The biggest problem is that your starting your story with a kind of
resolution, then dropping in a big chunk of introduction with the
introduction that you'll actually present a conflict in the next story. And
the excessive dialog is another flaw.
