While Disrupter's fanfic is well done, it seemed 
to me like a GL comic starring a Ranma 1/2 character.

True, which is probably why I disliked both of the others.

This story is an attempt to make a Ranma 1/2 comic with
GL comic elements.  

Sounds more promising...

Her clothes faded away in a green light, with a green costume 
in their place.  She wore the normal green spandex top with the
Green Lantern symbol on the chest. Unlike the customary Green
Lantern suit, Akane's was sleeveless and leg-less.  At her waist
she wore a black miniskirt, much like a school-girl uniform.
She wore green and black boots and a Green headband.

Finally!  The costume done right!

"What the heck?" the two Guardians said in unison.
"Wow, I'm a Magic Girl!" Akane said proudly.

Exactly!  The whole GL concept, set in Japan, _is_ a
magical girl show.

"Akane, we must be leaving to do... cosmic... things.

Heh.

"Don'tcha want a mask or something?"
"Haven't you ever read Sailor Moon?" Akane replied. "All they 
do is waltz around in a change of clothes and no one recognizes
them."

Certain cue for _everybody_ recognizing Akane...

herself.  Akane gritted her teeth, flailing around until she 
started rising slowly.
	After twenty or so minutes of flapping her arms, Akane 
finally made it to a rooftop.

Heh.  This is hilarious, and fits _so_ well.

	She turned to see Ranma jump to the roof of the same 
building in 2 seconds flat.  He had his hands in his Chinese
pockets and his normal smirk on his face.
<clip> 
	Akane tried to kick to smug boy but he yet again jumped 
over her leg.  He began casually jumping from rooftop, with
Akane lividly flapping her arms to catch up.

The idea that Akane _still_ can't hit Ranma, even now, is
pretty funny (though probably not the way Takahashi would tell
the tale; she powered-up Akane twice, after all, with different
results).

For my tastes, you spent too much time up front on the
initial Guardian discussions.  While amusing, presumably
readers on this list want to read about Akane and Ranma rather
than the Guardians.
