The sentence is poorly worded, I was more joking I shanked the Shampoo plot train to protect Nabiki more than any actual care for Shampoo.

Hmm... Kodachi. You know, this story could use more of her.

Please don't bring that loony back! She's a scary one.

I appreciate your assessment of Akane - being in love for the sake of it. Yep, definitely bratty.

(Oh em gee, spoilars.)

... as IF. It's a trifle too long in coming and the faster we get it over with the better. Besides, what better time to do it, than at the end of their 'date' ?

More R+N mushy stuff please! I'm looking forward to that with this story. (^_^)

If I must read this pairing, I would like to see a story where Nabiki is not utterly whitewashed to hell. A story where she remains a greedy, selfish, vindictive bitch; and is quite proud of that fact.

You know, this gave me an idea ... why not make Ranma into a crime overlord? We'll get an R+N pairing and you get to keep Nabiki the way she is. ;)

Though, I disagree with your assessment of Nabiki. Yes, she IS greedy & selfish. BUT, after reading the manga, I just can't call her a bitch. For all her faults, she is VERY possessive of her family! The only thing is - IF she considers Ranma as family or not. And as for her selling 'Akane' pictures, if I remember right, those pictures were never really 'racy'. Like, the only Akane pictures she sold were the ones anyone could take of her. (Now, the 'Ranko' or 'Ranma-chan' pics are a totally different matter entirely - but even in that case, its not like Ranma went out of his way to prevent anyone from taking those kind of pics)

my 2 cents,

I just hate the fanon that surrounds her. It's crap, has always been crap, and always will be crap. Crap piled upon crap piled upon crap, until all there is is a mountain of fanon so large that it becomes a Mighty Shit Godzilla. I think it's already there.

Yes much of the fanon about Nabiki isn't believable. But it's rather difficult to make a believable Ranma/Nabiki story without changing her character. Either through just changing it (fanon) or lots of character developement.

Though the latter does make a nice read if it's reasonable.

I want to see it. The latter one. That's the only way I want to read this pairing; anything otherwise and I just hit the Red X.

Step one of making a plausible R/N story is an event that forces Nabiki to see Ranma as a person rather than a source of money and/or amusement. Innortal's come up with a few good ones, all of which are unfinished and haven't been updated in a year or more.

A lot of <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/u/681915/Innortal' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Innortal's</a> Ranma stuff Is R+N.

I particularly like his Mega-cross <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2926771/1/No_Need_for_Destiny' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>No Need For Destiny</a>. I wish he'd finish it...

In Sleepinbear's SI Avatar 1/2, she's kept pretty true to source. I enjoy the fic still but the writing isn't top-notch so YMMV. Posted from mobile so I can't link atm, but you should be able to get it from ff.net easily.

Note: This fic is SI/Nabiki, forgot about the thread topic when I posted this.

Yeah... I want to see Granny Hina get hers for the crap she pulled in doing an end runaround Ranma and Nabiki on multiple issues.

I remember a few that i think where pretty nice. It has been a while since i read them and i probably forgot a few, but here they are:

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5219016/1/Broken_Ice' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5219016/1/Broken_Ice</a>

Ranma gets shot saving Nabiki and she realises a few thing and decides to change the way things are. I think it might have moved relatively fast in the way Nabiki realised she had feelings etc, but pretty nice story.


<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3233591/1/Please' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3233591/1/Please</a>
Please by PlatinumPlayer is another great story. It hasn't been updated in a few years (although the author seems to still be writing), but it is a pretty good story. Focused fairly heavily on the emotions and fears etc of the Chars. (Nabikis mostly)
Nabiki realising just how powerless she would be against Ranma, if he got seriously upset with her, old fears and anger from childhood, and Nabiki on one hand beeing pretty scared of him, but deeply attractd to him on the other hand.
I really wish this one would get updated, it really deserves it.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2081836/1/My_Little_Secret' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2081836/1/My_Little_Secret</a>
My Little Secret by Mz-Kitty-Kat is the third story i remember, not updated in a while too, but it was pretty interesting as well. Deals with the growing attraction and "heat" between those two while they are trying to deny that . From what i remember pretty good as well.

The last one i wont link here since it is rated M for a good reason.
A Different Curse by Narsil is about Ranma turning into a Succubus and is despinte the (seemingly obvious) setup a pretty good story and deals nicely with all the baggage that comes with that kind of transformation. You can search for it an ffn if you want, it has ben updated recently, so it should be easy to find.

Ranma can survive taking boulders bigger than he is to the face with barely a scratch. I find it difficult to believe that a regular bullet could even pierce his skin.

:huh.: I guess that is a matter of opinion an how you interpret the "physics" in the story (unrealistic as they are :p ). But as far as plot-elements go that is probably one of the more easily to believe ones when it comes to the Ranma almost dies---> xxx realises her feelings for him situation.

Um, you ever see someone lay down on a bed of nails? You ever see someone lay down on one nail? Ranma world physics being as messed up as they are, don't compare apples to oranges and then get pears.

You make a good point. A single nail can hurt, while a bed of nails 'distributes' the pain. (Ok, I'm going geeky here...)

noname z,

Thanks for the mention - in fact I already have Narsil's story in my update list.

"Broken Ice" - I just can't seem to read it beyond the first 2 chapters. Its just too ... fantastic that Ranma gets hurt with a bullet!!!

Ranma gets waylaid by tables, Akane routinely leaves bruises all over his face, he's been knocked out by explosions, Herb casually beat him out cold before locking him out of spite. Ranma being hurt by a bullet is pretty realistic, which is probably why it seems so far fetched, since reality is unrealistic.

Look, all I'm saying is that Ranma has never been shot by a gun before. He hasn't even been shot by an equivalent either. We can't say for certain what would happen if Ranma was shot, but I don't think he'd be up in a flash unless it grazed him. Ranma generally escapes due to the fantastical nature of his world, which is to say, no one really dies in Ranma 1/2 that wasn't already dead (wa-tah). Kumon's father was a flashback, so he doesn't count.

What I'm saying is that the only reason you find it ridiculous is that you've been reading too many bad fanfictions.

Well to be fair, there was the bit where Ranma was hit with the vacuum blades that cut through stone, wood, and basically everything in its path and only seemed to scratch him.

And to be fair it did mess Ranma up, he also was not a stationary object that didn't move but could absorb the blow rather than take the full damage.

I'd barely noticed your name before this post, but seeing it made me look up one of your stories to get a sense of your writing. And regardless of your work's other qualities, the way you write Ranma's speech is so incredibly annoying that it makes me want to avoid anything else you have written. I'm just that fed up of seeing Ranma talk like a brain-damaged hick, and you overuse it to extremes.

The Ninja McFail cross. I saw it in your created threads. Probably not the best choice given my hatred of the series, but it was there and I was bored.

For what it's worse I liked FBOFBWCS, Goldenarms. Still hoping you revisit the flowering haze and upgrade it to a full length fic, too.

Yeah, that really wasn't the best choice. :p Especially given that we were talking about Ranma/Nabiki fics, too. :D

And to be fair, I had edited the speech pattern in the not-completely-written-due-to-plot-problems sequel, Paradise Gold to something simpler; I just never thought to edit the other work to reflect it.

Golden Arms,

It's actually amazing that I haven't reviewed your story yet. I remember reading it, but can't see my review on FF.NET. Perhaps this was one I read in bed, on my phone? Oh well, regardless, I left a review just now.

I'm referring to - "<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2108123/1/For_Better_or_For_Worst_Case_Scenario' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>For Better or For Worst Case Scenario</a>" . An Angst story and VERY well written. Heck - I still am crying on the inside after reading it.

nuclear death frog,

Consider reading that one. Compared to some OTHER fanfics, Ranma's speech is tolerable in it.
