I posted that a couple days ago in the recommended thread in General FanFiction, as I was uncertain where else to place it.

I almost did not bother, as I generally avoid that thread these days. But had felt enough people knew it over the years to have wanted to know it was being redone.

Out of Time By TrimatterRanma awakens to a world alien to him after being literally stabbed in the back. This will eventually cross with Full Metal Panic.

:hail: :yay: :hail: This is 31 flavors of kick ass I can't freaking what for him to get to the crossover if he can do it half as well as Genma's chacter.

Trimatter is an author I avoid because he turns Ranma into an emo wuss, or a girl, or both. From what I've seen of this story so far, it's basically no different. I used to have some level of hope that this story wouldn't turn out like that but I stopped thinking there was any chance of it months ago. Genma is right: his son is dead and buried. What's left is a walking corpse with no real relation to Ranma.

I read the latest chapter without rereading the previous ones and found it interesting enough. So, Ranma's going through sensitivity training. Or something like that. Sure, he's not going to be the same macho, arrogant, martial arts jock he used to be. It's something like dragging Ranma into the real world - and to be frank, Ranma doesn't really belong in the real world without making some major character changes. I found that perspective interesting. He didn't seem particularly emo-wussy to me in this chapter. Given the author, I suppose Girl!Ranma isn't unlikely to show up, and I generally avoid those. Oh well.

Normally I don't likr trimatters stuff much either but from everything shown so far this isn't a Girl!Ranma but a Balanced!Ranma. Of course if he does go the girl route, :flameon: well thats what flames are for.

And this is definity not wussy Ranma just because he can't get over the fact that he missed 20years with a snap of his fingers, if he did do that you, me and everyone else would be calling bullshit on that to.

My question with that story is, what doe sit have to do with Full Metal Panic? Will Ranma be a whispered and will he have a female version of Sousuke guarding him or something?

Of course, Trimatter comes out with original stuff, so I'll just wait.

From what I can see of the latest chapter, Ranma and his family are moving somewhere else... I don't remember exactly where Kaname's high school is, but it seems that he'll meet Kaname and Sousuke through the high school. He might even join their class. I suppose we'll have to wait until the next chapter...

Sarge4 updated Couch Trips in a new Book 10, chapter 122

I'm pretty sure that this is a 'love it or or hate it' story for most people here. I don't particularly love it, but I think it is a good read for the most part.

^^^ I don't love it or hate, I just avoid it. I tried to read it, then had some warnings about what was going to happen so I skipped ahead to make sure and I pretty much had to pluck out my eyes in horror and ickyness...gives me *shudders* just thinking of it. Ranma willingly screwing Ryoga....shudder...*sob* the horror! *sob* the horror! Okay so no hate or love, just being afraid I'm going to go read some JL fanfic that'll make me feel better and forget this....(should actually be working while I'm at work....meh)....:p

Meh... I stopped reading it somewhere in book 2 back when it came out. My issue was that although I liked the initial setup, and even liked the shrink at first, I grew to dislike him as things seemed to be going too smooth IMHO.

Also, while I liked the idea of Ranma consulting a shrink, and seeking one out in fustration and needing input. It lost its appeal when everyone started going.

Personally, for those type of stories, I perfer reading N Reynolds or Richard Lawson. Only issue with N Reynolds (and he has admitted it), is Ranma comes off as too smart.

Damn. I'm glad I didn't read the whole thing. One guy was extremely pro Ranma/Akane. He read bitter end once and he hated that pairing ever since.
I didn't even read it before I was turned off to R/A. I just read a review of it, and that pairing bit the dust in my mind. Of course, it wasn't long before the other two "regular" fiancee pairings (Ukyo and Shampoo) bit it, either.

Where is everyone, by the way? Usually, the week of finals and the week after are almost jam-packed with great updates. So far, almost nothing.

The Ranma fandom has been a dead-zone in the last couple months. Virtually nothing decent has been updated in that time.

Depends what you read and where. I've been seeing updates.

But I do agree it has been slowing down last few months.

Not that I would be considered a quality writer but I have been busy lately. When I get around to finishing my work there might be an explosion of updates from me, but as I said, I am not a name like Ozzallos, Fosfor, Trimater or sarge; so I doubt that counts. I think I noticed a trend of more writing being done with naruto and that may be where all our writers went.

TFF is in a slump in several sections right now, not just this one. I hope It will pick up soon, but if it doesn't I'll need to start wadeing through that crap at FF.net to find something worth reading... Not a plesent experance.

Yea... I've been hoping for an update to 'Sirens' Calling', or heck, even 'Wild Charon' was good for a hoot.

Ranma fanfiction really seems to be at a low right now. I mean, new AA episodes are more interesting than most stories published on ff.net.

Ah well, maybe people will see the light and realize that Naruto sucks and return to writing quality Ranma fanfiction again.

Then again, when I hear what people say about Naruto fanfiction, I'm not so sure if that would be a good thing.

Well, you have to consider that Naruto is still airing at the moment and the overabundance of Naruto fanfictions won't stop until the show is over. But I'm pretty sure Naruto won't have the longevity that Ranma has. You have to admit that Ranma still is one fo the most popular sections at ff.net and that only recent bestsellers like Naruto, Bleach or Inu Yasha can top that.

Just a little incidental trivia, since rankings was brought up. Currently:

On FanFiction.NET, across all areas, all categories, Ranma 8873 ranks 39th. The top ten are:

- Dragon Ball Z 28688
- Kingdom Hearts 29116
- Digimon 29448
- Buffy: The Vampire Slayer 31912
- Gundam Wing/AC 38650
- Lord of the Rings 40590
- Yu-Gi-Oh 43157
- Inuyasha 76509
- Naruto 113506
- Harry Potter 333487

On FanFiction.NET, if counting just Anime/Manga section, then Ranma 8873 ranks 17th. The top ten are:

- Yu Yu Hakusho 20662
- Card Captor Sakura 20746
- Fullmetal Alchemist 20907
- Sailor Moon 25646
- Dragon Ball Z 28688
- Digimon 29448
- Gundam Wing/AC 38650
- Yu-Gi-Oh 43157
- Inuyasha 76509
- Naruto 113506

On MediaMiner.ORG, across all areas, all categories, Ranma 1326 ranks 12th. The top ten are:

- Weiss Kreuz 1610
- Final Fantasy - All Series 1887
- Digimon 2737
- Sailor Moon 3052
- Naruto 4076
- Dragon Ball Z 4462
- Yu Yu Hakusho 4927
- Gundam Wing 5850
- Yu-Gi-Oh! 6436
- InuYasha 16549

I do find it a bit odd Naruto is not the same on MediaMiner as FanFiction.NET.

It should be noted, Ranma and a couple others are a bit dicey, since they also are in many cases in various other catagories, such as Anime Crossovers, since it is so popular to cross it. So the numbers are not as concrete as they would seem.

As for myself, Ranma, Neon Genesis, Love Hina, Tenchi, and Oh My Goddess would be the top categories I read. None of which are on any of the top 10 above.

Bummer.

The majority of the older Ranma fanfiction isn't on FFN, as it was written before FFN came about and no one ever posted it there.

Most of the really good stuff is not on FFN, As the authors often only post them on their own sites.

On the other hand, every series that is played on Cartoon Network gets thousands of crappy fanfic authors. You notice how all of the FFN top ten anime have been played on American Television?

Though you don't take into account the categories like "Sailormoon crossovers" or "dbz crossovers"

Actually... I took the crossover catagories into account as separate categories. They were not as part of their main categories. As such, they were not large enough to enter into top alone.

As for Ranma not being all on FanFiction.NET. I realize that, but you must understand that even with all the scattered Ranma sites out there, plus the AA, and the FFML, the available Ranma stories IMHO cannot match the numbers of stories for series like Naruto.

As for the main ones being due to ones getting onto television and generating tons of wannabe but bad authors. That I agree to, but only to an extent. Tenchi for example really did not have that big an influx in comparison. Ranma has not, and I cannot see ever, being shown on network TV series. NGE I recall once being shown in a limited fashion in a special even on TV, though I never bothered watching it that way, since I have the DVD's.
