Ranma ½ I just saw this fic and I hate this about it!

Here are two quick questions for everyone here.
1) Have you ever liked a fic, then a few years pass, you go back to it and try to remember what you were smoking/drinking to make that look good?
2) Has anyone here writen something and after a few years go by, you reread your old stuff and wish there was some Napalm nearby to destroy your old work?

On the first, Yes very much so. I semm to have lost my nostolgia glasses somewhere recently.
On the second, it tends to only take a few days to a couple weeks for the initial dose of narcissism to where off enough that I can genuinly see just how shitty my writing is, at witch point I ponder if there is a substance that can burn hot enough to rid myself of any trace of it's existence.

This one is too horrible for words. I'd like to read a nice Mermaid!Ranma fic, but this one... I don't know how to call it. I just want to say that Ranma and the rest of his real family are apparently total retards. Additionally, the story doesn't make much sense at all. Retarded ideas, bad spelling and grammar and the author apparently doesn't know how to use capital letters.
Edit:
I just looked at the author's profile and when I look at the summaries of his other fics I'm getting sick.
Additionally he mentions in his profile that he's dyslexic. Anyone noticed how many bad authors write that in their profiles? Probably just an excuse.

:no:
The summary alone shows how much the story sucks. A lot of what ifs and spelling mistakes.
Still, I thought a Ranma as a Batgirl story might be interesting, but the way it's handled? :no: :no: :rant: :rant:
I'll just post my review here and you'll get an idea of some of the things that are wrong with this story. I don't know why but I'm becoming less and less tolerant of fics that disappoint me.
- The Batman family are mostly urban legends and I honestly doubt that Japanese TV would air a report on Batgirl, especially since the Bat Family tries to stay hidden.
- Ranma seriously thinks that Batgirl is a match for him? She isn� and I doubt he would think that. Batgirl is just a well-trained athlete and a good fighter with no superpowers whatsoever. Ranma would be considered a metahuman in the DC Universe. He can lift several tons, has superhuman speed and can jump higher than a house. He� very durable and even survives a house falling down on him. He can shoot ki balls, can create tornadoes and punch at an impressive speed. He� also a master martial artist. He would destroy Batgirl without any trouble in a straight up fight. She might have a chance if she can prepare herslef and figure out Ranma� weaknesses, but even then I doubt it.
- I also doubt Ranma would just let one of his school mates use drugs without interfering.
- Where� the police? Ranma sees drugs dealers everywhere and the police does nothing? This is Japan. I don� think police would just let it go.
- Nabiki is afraid and Akane is getting more and more violent and her eyes have a yellow hue to them. And Ranma does nothing? He noticed all the drug sellers and can� make the connection? He may be dense sometimes, but come on.
- He laos noticed before that Nabiki behaves strangely and yet he doesn� come up with the simple idea of following her around to see what she� up to?
- Wait! There� a costume shop in Nerima that just so happens to sell Batgirl costumes, and different models to boot? What a coincidence. Sorry, but I don� buy it. And the cheapest one is also the best? Doesn� make any sense.
- And look at that. There� even a shop selling batarangs. Would he be even allowed to buy any? He� a minor.
- Ranma having troubles defeating the druggies? Something else I highly doubt. Or is the drug even better than the oneBane uses?
- Don� tell me Nabiki bleieves Akane has only been taking proteins. No, seriously. She� probably deeply involved in all of this.
- Kasumi comes in a manages to calm a berserker Akane just like that? And she doesn� even wonder why Akane acts like that?
- Wait! Ranma takes Nabiki to Tofu and really thinks that Akane has just been taking some protein pills? That� just bull. Come on, no one will believe that.
- �sidered himself the big man on campus�, come on. Don� tell me it� Kuno or Gosunkugi. I�l scream if it is. I think I know where you�e going with this. The Kuno family are a yakuza family, and that� where they got their money from.
EDIT: Just noticed it's not Barbara Gordon. Still, most of the points I brought up apply anyway.

Yes...but you are talking a cross with a series where the police are not used.
The issue is simple,if the police are present, and credible enough to show for a drug deal... why would they not show for other crimes... if they did, both super powered martial artists and magical girl vigilantes would all need to be arrested and tossed in the jail.. after all, being a vigilante is a crime.
So... to get around this, you would not have police showing up in stories involving these shows unless it is as cannon fodder or they are being rescued by said groups.
