Most people have Nodoka related to Yosho since she is actually good looking. I think I have seen Genma as Nobuyuki's brother before. They sorta look alike.
Tenchi's mom was named Achika. She doesn't look anything like Nodoka or Genma.
I suppose Genma could be a descendant from one of Yosho's earlier marriages. They were never stated that I know of, but he has been living there for 700 years. One fic had Happosai afflict Yosho with some lust moxibustion and he impregnated several women, who were the ancestors to the entire NWC.
I thought the name Achika was only for the first Tenchi Movie. And the Tenchi Universe series.
But ya I remember that fic you were talking about. The whole Katsuhito being infected by Happosai. I also remember seeing that other fic you mentioned, but can't remember where. Don't remember who wrote those fics either.
There are at least 3 continuities in Tenchi. In one (the 1st Movie) Tenchi's mother is Achika. In another (the 3rd OVAs) it is Kiyone, and the character design is significantly different.
*3* There are a heck of a lot more than 3 continuities in Tenchi.
Tenchi has a bunch of continuities. More than nearly any other anime to come to mind. generally speaking, it is basically:
For the anime:
-'Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 1 and 2' are nearly always thought as simply 'OVA Continuity' here.
-'Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 3' in Japan is normally thought of as part of the same OVA continuity. Along with it's special.
-'Tenchi GXP' runs nearly in parallel to the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 3 series.
-'Tenchi Universe' would be the 'TV Continuity 1'.
-'Tenchi in Tokyo' would be 'TV Continuity 2'.
-'Pretty Sammy' OVA's 'Pretty Sammy OVA Continuity'.
-'Magical Project S' is 'Pretty Sammy TV Continuity'.
-'Tenchi Muyo In Love 1' is subject of controversy among some fans, due to a few things, like presence of Kiyone, but can be considered 'TV Continuity 1'.
-'Tenchi Muyo Daughter of Darkness', most consider it to be its own continuity.
-'Tenchi Muyo In Love 2', some consider OVA, some its own. The title suggests related to the 1st movie and 'TV Continuity 1'.
For the manga:
-'No Need for Tenchi' manga is a extension of 'Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 1 and 2' anime but does not take into account 'Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 3'.
-'All New Adventures of Tenchi Muyo' are separate from the other series, and are done in skit form, the way laid out could be almost part of any other continuity.
-'Tenchi Muyo Sasami Stories' are a separate collection of the Sasami specific stories from 'All New Adventures of Tenchi Muyo'
Most fan fiction I've seen use either OVA or Universe continuities.
If it has Kiyone in it as Mihoshi's partner, then it is either Universe or Tokyo continuities.
If it has Kiyone in it as Tenchi's mom, then it is 'Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 3' continuity.
If it has Mayuka in it, it is 'Tenchi Muyo Daughter of Darkness' continuity.
If it has Sakuya in it, it is 'Tenchi in Tokyo' continuity.
If it has Washu as Ryoko's mother, then it is 'Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki' continuity.
Most popular exception to this are stories that are OVA 1 & 2 continuity but author specifically places Kiyone (Mihoshi's partner) in it. Most of these specifically state such at the beginning to avoid confusion.
EDIT: The above was pasted from an old post elsewhere and altered, but I forgot to mention that there was also a animated skit style extension to the Manga done by the creator, in the US the only way I'm aware of getting it is on the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki 3 DVD's. There was also some books and a SNES game that apparently never made it over to the US, and I've not seen but heard about it.
