OK, so for some reason I'm re-reading Setsuna's Fault/Time Lost, and I'm thinking that I can do better. The first thing I want to change is the having the characters know each other before the story starts, plus give Ranma a life span equaling his new brides, so for that I need a Crossover story, preferably one where Ranma is one of the senshi
Ranma ½ Fuku Fic for a Redo of Setsuna's Fault/Time Lost
- Thread starter gemmaethanwhitaker
- Start date
I would not mind reading a rewrite of that story (I actually preferred the Starving Senshi plot offshoot a bit more, with them finding the ship, but the Time lost was ok, depending exactly which plot elements preferred).
However I am not too keen on the idea of him knowing them beforehand. Maybe know *of* them, but definitely not know them personally or be one of them.
The issue is the whole idea of the Setsuna's fault plotlines generally came about because of Setsuna going too far to keep them from knowing each other.
By making him know them beforehand, or by having him actually be one defeats the very premise.
To be clear, I am not against reading Ranma Sailor moon crossovers or multi-crossovers, even a fukufic I'm ok with. *As long as it makes sense for the plot*. Here, it does not.

Ahh... for me that other original back story was why I read it in the first place, not sure what you intend to do would appeal to me.
The only other one like that on the AA involving Setsuna, time travel, *and* knowing the Senshi was I think 'Phoenix Ranma'. In that they view his life as he went back in time, and struggled to learn and grow. They viewed important parts of hisnow history from the time gates and laughed and cried at some of the highlights of his life. As the story progressed, it was eventually to get back to the time frame he was banished from.

The first/main thread (By Kestral and Kender) was good, with a few errors, the biggest being the crops thing. Greece, being both on the Mediterranean and so far south, plus the mountainous terrain to the north, does not experience snow during the winter, at least as a rule. This means that it's possible to grow crops through the winter, meaning that it might be possible to get as many as 3 harvests a year (Which they'll need as methods will be primitive, producing very low yields per man day). The other thing I had a problem with was that empowerment thing they started doing at the end, where was that coming from?
As for the spin offs, well cotton is a product of the industrial revolution, very early on but still. So clothes would be made out of stuff from that time period. Flax/linen comes close to cotton, but processing it is manpower intensive. Silk comes from China and isn't really an option. Wool is heavy and insulating, and also rather itchy, not something a girl from Tokyo wants to be wearing, especially near her privates. Hemp is pretty much the same, but more rough then itchy, with the problem that of you grow the wrong sort you'll get high just wearing your clothes. Which leaves leather. Properly cured it's only heavy and insulating, how Greece is a warm to hot environment which means you can't wear it over your whole body, so lots of skin will need to be uncovered, but at least modesty can be preserved.
