Hi all



Thought I might ask for a few  suggestions on a fic that I am three pages
into. The basic concept I have is that there is no Akane or , more
accurately  without blowing the plot ,Akane is around but the bulk of the
cast is not aware of her. Anyway my basic idea is now it is Nabiki who is
shafted with Ranma ( I know its been done don't worry its not the prime
thrust of the story) Anyway in a desperate attempt of maintaining the group
dynamic (i.e. to keep Kasumi and Nabiki as the girls we know and love) I
need a third Tendo. Of the possibilities I have been considering is one, use
the two girls from Akane and her sisters (personally I'm not particularly
crazy about that one) Two, make it a Tendo brother (I'm not sure if it would
work since that would solve Soun's need for a traditional heir, though I
like the comic potential of him going nuts because he could have the hots
for girl type Ranma even though he knows the deal) and finally, Three,
having a younger sister say 14 to 12 who is young enough so she is not
considered for the engagement. Anyway that's kind of where I'm going with it
so far. Please don't think I'm asking people  to write this story for me.
Its just I frequently find that bouncing ideas back and fourth is one of the
better ways to deal with writers block.



Oh, one more thing. I would like to stick with Ms Takahashi's naming
conventions for naming Tendos. But since my japanese is just good enough to
get my order wrong at a fast food restaurant. I'm going to need some help.
Can any one think of any good cloud puns.



Well any way thanks in advance., While I think this could make a promising
thread I think it will be in everyone's interests to answer this one
privately.



                                Thanks a lot and have a good one
