Genma and Soun are neither lazy, nor slovenly.

Jeez, it's hard to fathom just how much of the plot gets upturned as a result.

Did you reply in the wrong thread? Or make some other error?

It's Miscellaneous Ideas, so he probably means it's a new idea for a divergence fic.

Honestly they're not that lazy or sloven. They're more cowardly and selfish.
I mean, a lot of plots are started with either Soun or Genma accepting work or finding out some neat thing and investigating with Ranma.

Genma tried to get a get a job at one point, a lot of stories start with Genma and Ranma out and about doing something. Such as the start of Konatsu's arc.
 
Was going to wait on posting this until the current issues where resolved. More of an Omake then anything else, but still good for at least a laugh.

Sorry, but after reading this recently from the AA dump I just couldn’t resist.

"I wish the whole fiancèe mess was sorted out!"

All of a sudden there was a flash of light and all of his fiancèe’s where hanging by their wrist in the Tendo’s backyard, the only thing was there where a lot more then he remembered.

What was the only think Ranma could think off.

You fiancèe’s, all sorted out. Replied the Great Will. The closer a girl is to you, the less likely she is to hit you or otherwise hurt you, the further away, the more likely. The more to the left she is, the less she likes you, while the more to the right the more she does.

Huh. Are there perhaps a few that he doesn't even recognize, there?

Also, I rather suspect that Akane is pretty far away, but also the farthest off to the right, or one of the farthest.
 
Yep extra fiancèes, because even with the possible continuation, them getting collars with tags to keep track of relationship status, it's not going to change anything and thus give a story. Any such continuation would be an AMG cross, simply to get the Great Will out of Ranma's hands.

I had initially figured that Akane would be in the middle, but she could well be off to the right some what.
 
Your idea is not original and most likely would never lead anywhere either original or interesting or worth its spot on the internet.
 
Now that I think about it, you're probably right, I wrote it after all because the joke was too good to miss, another option would be Akane, Kodachi and Ukyo bound and gagged in the trash Shampoo in the recycling bin (I think she might be salvageable), and quite likely a now group in front of him.

In other words, bashing. Right. <_<

Would anyone have any objection if I did something where Genma was money'd up? Got an idea kicking around.
If you can write it properly, then go ahead.

The main complaint people would have with it is that you've not exactly shown that you have the writing skills you think you have. You've written a lot of fannon and cliché without adding anything new or particularly humorous and that turns people off.
 
Been thinking about how gender roles are used in Ranma and had an idea: What if Akane had to save Ranma from a magical princess?

Ranma has had to be saved before, but the idea has some merit.

The biggest challenges that I see are what is the threat that Ranma can't beat by himself (either as a man or a woman) but Akane can beat and what about the other fiancées?

Remember, Akane is probably the worst fighter of the fiancée brigade, so unless the princess that abducted Ranma is weak to bad cooking, then I don't see what she brings to the rescue party. And I say party, because there's no way Soun would ever let her go on her own, and he's probably too cowardly to go (though he'd claim that he has to stay to look after his other daughters).
 
I would suggest that Akane win Ranma's freedom not through fighting, but through some other activity ... maybe the princess holding him captive likes some game, so Akane offers to play it with her, and wins -- whether Akane expected to win or not.

It's only a suggestion though.

Random thought about Ryouga. Canon says he's bad at directions (and fanon extrapolates that to getting lost all over the world and even in different dimensions). What if he was able to weaponise it to a point by localising his being so bad at directions that he can actually shrink the distance between two points, like the whole idea of a wormhole but for martial arts instead of scifi space travel?

The end result of being which he gets a speed upgrade.

Was randomly reading Mrs. Todd's Shortcut and thought of this.

Wouldn't that be dangers to BOTH his allies and enemies? No one would be able to predict where his punches would be coming from ...

It could be, though at least his allies would be able to (somewhat) predict it.


In other ideas...a shitty idea for a Danganronpa crossover. Ryoga as a member of the Ultimate Despair. Shi Shi Hokodan could be powerful enough to wipe out the planet

... and where would you take the store from there? After one student with direction issues gets depressed, commits suicide, kills the entire class ... what then?

This one isn't so much an idea as a random thought with probably no real answer, but: Who rescued Akane from the prince of the week before Ranma showed up? I know that's something from the anime (at best) but clearly the craziness that the residents of the Tendo dojo have to put up with isn't anything new to them, and while I can see Ranma dealing with it, I kind-of have to wonder who dealt with it all before Ranma showed up.

Nobody, cause there's no such thing as a "prince of the week"? She doesn't even get kidnapped that much more than Ranma even in the anime.

:D Between the fanfiction I've read, I'd forgotten that Ranma too got kidnapped once in a while!

If you think it's exaggerated at best (which it is) and that it doesn't have a real answer, why did you ask?
 
Please note that I'm not just asking about the stereotypical princes that kidnap Akane, I'm also asking about all the other weird things and that happen and who deals with them. Imagine if the match between Furikin and St. Brutus was a few weeks earlier, who would have fought Kodachi? Or if Mariko should up several months earlier, who would have fought her?
