<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1295927/1/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>A ghost of tomorrow</a>: A Ranma/Kenshin cross that's actually enjoyable. Ranma gets sent to the past and to have any hope of finding a way home he must work as a manslayer.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3293331/1/Demiglace_Graffiti' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Demiglace Graffiti</a>: Ranma has a daughter as headstrong as he is, with the ability to rewrite reality. God have mercy on us all. A SHnY cross. Great fic.

Just as a warning to people:

All those fics, except Demiglace Graffiti, are Ranma-chan stories.

Lessee... let's do a survey of my C2 for Ranma fics and grab ones updated in the last year or so:

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6892672/1/Haigeki' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Haigeki</a> (Words: 110,789 - Updated: 4-10-12)
His friends kidnapped by magical girls, Ranma is pushed beyond his limits to retrieve them.
Has shades of Ranma-chan, but is a fairly decent story.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3505392/1/Hell_is_a_Martial_Artist' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Hell is a Martial Artist</a> (Ranma/Oh My Goddess cross) (Words: 166,378 - Updated: 12-24-11)
When the Grand Demoness of Hell finds a new play toy, she gets more than she bargained for with Ranma Saotome, gender cursed heir of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts.
An Ozzallos story, so there's some moderately creepy Ranma-chan overtones

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/718744/1/Yagami_12' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Yagami 1/2</a> (Ranma/King of Fighters cross) (Words: 308,270 - Updated: 12-24-11)
Iori Yagami fell in love with and married Nodoka Saotome while training under his evil master, Happousai, along with Soun and Genma. Together they had a son, Ranma. How will the young Yagami deal with what he is, and what he has become?
Not a bad crossover; nothing much to say.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5245635/1/Magical_Girl_Nanoha_12' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Magical Girl Nanoha 1/2</a> (Ranma/Nanoha cross) ( Words: 155,140 - Updated: 8-19-11)
A Ranma and Nanoha fusion. No Ranma as the magical girl, no Ranma overpowering everything else. Just a meeting between two children, and the repercussions that begin to snowball. Be afraid, because the term befriending might develop new meaning.
Another crossover; Ranma 1/2 just lends itself to them, apparently.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4637087/1/Nova' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Nova</a> (Ranma/X-Men cross) (Words: 29,677 - Updated: 8-10-11)
Logan just wanted a night to relax. No kids, no responsibilities, just him, beer, and some pool. A text message ended that before it began, and now Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters will never be the same.
One of Matdeception's Ranma/X-men crosses.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5867091/1/Carried_Off' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Carried Off</a> and <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6036571/1/Away_to_Neverland' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Away to Neverland</a> (Ranma/Touhou cross) (Words: 16,842 - Updated: 4-16-10) (Words: 76,226 - Updated: 6-5-11)
Like all the best love stories, it began with violence and kidnapping.
The greatest love story ever told continues, as Ranma and Suika head off for the fairy-tale land of Gensokyo.
Quite a fun read, although it can get pretty gory in places

Oh sure, Ranma can be one of Ami's parents, but nobody else has thought of Ryoga being Ami's 'wandering, artist father'? :rant:

Stephen Fatliff is posting Ranma: A Little Earlier on his FanFiction.net site.
<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8016137/1/Ranma_A_Little_Earlier' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8016137/1/Ranma_A_Little_Earlier</a>
Ranma and Akane meet a little earlier, and nothing will be the same. Without the built up defenses, and hardened emotional paths, perhaps they'll get together earlier.
Ranma - Rated: M - English - Romance - Chapters: 4 - Words: 5,045 - Reviews: 5 - Updated: 4-14-12 - Published: 4-11-12 - Ranma & Akane

I quite liked it when it was on his older site.

Weapon of Choice, a Nanoha and Ranma cross over by Ozzallos

No Ranma-chan as of this time, for those what don't like it. Heck, Ranma doesn't even get an Intelligent Device. Ranma side is shortly after Kumon Ryu arc, unknown where in Nanoha the arc is. But Nanoha is supposedly Ranma's age...

Huh. Oddly enough, I'd never read this before. It's actually interesting. Too bad it's dead.

Thats one of the many forums that tried to replace TFF.

Not only does that one require Email registration, it ALSO requires Admins to validate every single account in person.


I can't be fucking bothered to pander to that. I'll wait till he posts it on ff.net in a few months.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6492923/1/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Becoming a Man Amongst Men</a> Ranma paired with Kodachi, Kasumi, and Shampoo. Has almost 300 reviews of unanimous blowjobs so it MUST be doing something right, because God as my witness I can't see it.

Interesting... that author updated a one shot to still be a one shot and about the same size...

Running a comparison tool on it though reveals a lot of changes.

I cannot recall an author ever doiing such a thing after so long a time (9/2005 vs. 1/2013, near 7 1/2 years).

He did get rid of one very minor thing that annoyed me at the time though, the commenting of seeing a FBI warning on a japanese video...

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8252821/5/History-s-Most-Chaotic-Disciple' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>History's Most CHaotic Disciple </a> by Nobody of Note

Ranma gets stuck in an Amazonian Artifact and returns 20 years later to Nerima. (Not the first Ranma fic to use this premise. Lu-DragonLord, WFRose, Trimatter, cloudreamer2000/9000? come to mind)

I don't know what it up with this story, but It's the only in year that would make me go re-read the manga just so I can get a bead on Ranma's personality. I don't really remember him caring that much that he was the best/strongest of all his rivals.

Every time he shows up in a scene, the writer constantly has whoever talking to Ranma challenge his ego and martial arts prowess left and right. I see a couple of fano concepts here like Ranma's dislike of fighting girls. This was really hard to read.

A very different take on Ranma/SM xovers. For starters, it's twenty years after SM, there's no time/reincarnation shenanigans, and Nodoka (and by extension, Ranma) have a very unexpected heritage.

I like some of that authors stuff... but I have to say while I track it for the novelty of the plot, and I've read it, I can't really get into that one all that much.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2060899/1/Of-Dreams-and-Memories' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Of Dreams and Memories</a> by Yanslana (Ranma/Naruto Cross) (Words: 40,040 - Completed 12-05-04)

It's a Ranma/Naruto cross that begins pre-canon for Naruto. There's only about 1 or 2 other stories like it. It's rushed and has some minor formatting/typo issues, but it's still one of my favorite stories in the genre. The title is somewhat indicative of the author's writing style.

I remember giving the author a lot of comments/criticism on Anifics when it was being written. Amazing how long it's been.

I remember having to constantly remember to avoid the thread there due to it having Naruto in it...

That was one I tried to read though... of what I remember reading, it seemed written well...

Found a fic that I think deserves to be checked out at least.
It's a refreshing new take on an old idea.

The Ran Twins
Author: miiohau
Summary: Before Ranma leaves China, Ranma is split into two bodies(one male, one female).
Rated: Fiction T - English - Humor/Romance - Ranma - Chapters: 2 - Words: 4,590 - Reviews: 12 - Favs: 8 - Follows: 13 - Updated: 06-08-13 - Published: 04-07-13 - id: 9182136

the "twist" is that Ranma/Ranko have a shared mind(s).
Here's hoping that the author makes full use of this potential.

Too bad the somewhat interesting twist is let down by how simple and generic everything is. Like Nodoka immediately deciding this new psuedo daughter needs to be taught every stereotypical thing just cause Nodoka be crazy and that's supposed to be immediately funny. Or actually working in Nabiki saying the title. :headbanger:

The duel mind thing is poorly setup and inconsistent. They're either synced up or completely different people with no consistent reason why it's working as arbitrary as it is.

I actually agree with most of your criticisms and understand the rest. However I still believe that this fic has potential to be a good fic. Not a great fic, but one worth the read. I can say that fics that follow the serial format (which this one obviously is) are never great (not tight enough plots, no direction, etc.)
But it should be readable and hey maybe will see this idea used in the future.

meh, it's been done before. Involved the Spring of Drowned Twins. The one mind, two bodies thing was executed much better. He could move one body at a time, or do the same thing with both bodies simultaneously...to the point of having to hold hands when walking together because their different strides screwed up the synchronization.

Don't remember the title, though... PC? Ring any bells?
