Hmm... Methinks that you made a little too much
jokes with certain authors' works...
I don't know; I thought the allusions rather hilarious,
myself. It seems to be the whole point, and it's a
fun game.
"What is so good about her and those damn roses?!"
What, no allusion to Lawson's "Roses of Shadow" here? :)
Before anything else could be said, Ranma replied.
"Nabiki?! That would be a very scary thought!
I don't quite remember who wrote "A Very Scary
Thought," but then I doubt (s)he will care for this
allusion.
Jim Robert Bader. Possibly not the best allusion,
though undoubtedly the easiest;
to keep in theme, you want a Nabiki-only story, not a
Shampoo-Nabiki-Ranma-Ukyou-Perfume story.
"Is it Ryouga?" In a sick
sort of way, it made sense. They just _had_ some
type of fated couple.
Hmm... I can't recall any fics possibly alluded
in this passage...
If there's a title allusion here, I'm missing it also.
Is there some story called "A Fated Couple"? Nothing
shows up at the RAAC archive.
"Come to think of it, Kunou hasn't been around me
lately. Not that I don't like that. Do you
think that he's somehow erased Ranma's
memories and made him believe that they're in a
state of bliss together?"
Now this is a little stretched. Unlike in Lara
Bartram and Mike Loader's joint piece, it's quite
obvious that Ranma does not suffer amnesia in this
story. Then again, Akane isn't thinking rationally
right now.
This one was sneaky. I missed it the first time
through.
just ran away. Though, considering their
persistence, it would have
resulted in a long and winding road and possibly
even a bitter end.
Yikes. This one is so obvious, it's almost
dangerous.
But it's important to give the game away at some
point in a fic like this, built on others' story
titles.
Could he have actually won the heart of the
phoenix guard?
You (VGAP) missed one here: Vincent Siefert's tale,
"Ranma and the Heart of the Phoenix".
always have to be a dog?!" Ukyou then screamed out
"There is no such thing as justice!"
Hoo boy... Then again, Mr. Kleppe was pretty
harsh to Ukyo in that story...
I think there is an allusion to more than one of Mr.
Kleppe's stories here... "Unusual Couple" as well
as "Justice".
"None of you girls seemed to be getting any closer
to him. One day he came to the Nekohanten and asked
for my help in improving his martial
arts. After that I usually helped him out at night.
...underground, in the sewers, where the waters under
earth flow, so that you three would never find out...
