While cleaning my computer in preparation for upgrading to Word 2002, I came across a bunch of old fic ideas I came up with last year when I was doing "U-Jin's Ranma Diaries."  The premise is simple, what if a famous American writer wrote an anime series.  Here's what I came up with back then:

"T is for Tendo" by Sue Grafton-  California-based P.I. Kinsey Millhone is hired by California Fidelity Insurance to seek out the missing heir to a vast fortune.  The trail leads to Nerima and Akane Tendo, who is actually an illigitimate daughter raised by Soun.  Things become complicated when Akane is murdered and the list of suspects includes the most bizarre group of martial artists the world has ever seen.  Good thing Kinsey has her usual array of wisecracks to keep her sane.

"Sun and Fun 1/2" by Carl Hiaasen-  Divorced and broke, graphic design artist Tenchi Masaki is forced to take an architectual job with Nabiki Tendo Enterprises.  Much to Tenchi's horror, he is assigned to fly to Miami, Florida and sketch designs for a new golf resort that is to be built on the site of the beach where Tenchi's grandparents first met and fell in love.  

Tenchi "goes underground" and joins Hiaasen regulars Skink and Trooper Jim Tile in planning to sabotage the resort, which brings him into conflict with Nabiki and her brother-in-law, Ranma, who is now Nabiki's murderous chief of security.  

Complicating things is the arrival of Ranma's estranged wife, Akane, who forms an instant attraction with Tenchi.  Can Tenchi get the girl and save Miami from another tourist trap development?

"WaterStarter" by Stephen King-  Ranma is horrified when he learns that the reason he and his father are such skilled martial artists is because Genma and Nodoka were part of the "Lot Six" experiments that gave them mutant powers.  Now the U.S. government agency known as The Shop has decided to kill the former "Lot Six" participants and their offspring, which means Ranma has to go toe-to-toe with the viscious Native American assassin John Rainbird.
