[FFML] Re: [R.5][SM]Ranko's Makeover(resend)

I just love the sheer number of fanfic cliches in this.

Let's see...

1. Nodoka is determined to force "Ranko" to be a proper young woman.

2. Nodoka lives in Juuban.

3. Nodoka is independently wealthy.

4. Ranma gets drugged.

5. Ranma feels pretty, oh so pretty.

6. Sailor Pluto is fucking people over for selfish reasons.

7. Some Mysterious Entity of Chaos and Plot Contrivance has designs on
Ranma.

8. Ran Can Cook...Like Kasumi!

9. Boy-Crazy Girl Type

10. "Ranko" Forgets That She's Ranma

11. Mysterious Entities of Chaos and Plot Contrivance turn out to be
Known
Mythological Figures.

12. Ranma Becomes A Sailor Senshi.

[You forgot about half of them.

[[
13. Ranma gets brainwashed.

14. Usagi's suspicions about strangers easily be circumvented with candy and sweets.

15. Kasumi is clueless enough to see nothing wrong with how Ranma was acting.

16. Kasumi never lies so everyone can trust her.

17. Ranma can learn just about anything really fast, and is really fairly smart. He just never applies himself.

18. Memory blocking/altering chemicals will wear off at the perfect time.

19. Sailor Pluto will do anything to preserve the future. (like your #8)

20. Sailor Pluto finds "chaotic" people, specifically Ranma to be a threat to the future for some damn reason.

21. Nodoka doesn't trust Genma with money, yet trusts him with her son.

22. Ranko has the hots for Ranma.

23. Sailor Pluto is on roughly equal footing with a god and may be a goddess herself.

24. And martial arts will solve any problem Ranma has. That is how Ranma got her mind back

[So yes there's a LOT of cliches here. Think they might be intentional?

[In the words of a reviewer
[[
I was, at first, kind of dissapointed in seeing the use of the sterotypical "manipulative time agent" story driver, but I shrugged it off since it looks like you're going to incorporate a cocktail of other common devices and try to put your own twist on things.

There's not a single thing in this story that hasn't been (a) done
before, and (b) done a lot better.
That having been said, cliche as this is, there MAY be potential,
depending on where the next chapter goes.

[That's strangely generous of you.

It's not by far the worst Ranma/SM crossover around, but it is rather heavily laden with cliches, which is probably its major downside.

[Right. Given that this fic IS a lump of cliches that might be a problem.
[Well, at least it's not the worst, eh?
