Hi, hope people are enjoying my work. I have never done anything like this before and I know it shows. I do hope to get better at writing as I go along. I just wish I had started with some of my smaller one shot ideas first to build up my skills. I would really like to get more detailed reviews on my weak points, there are many I know.

Likes: I love anime - Ranma1/2 (fav), Naruto, Bleach, Love Hina, Oh My Goddess, Chobits, Sailor Moon (guilty pleasure), and many more. Just about anything that reminds me of where I think home is (Japan), I have family there. But, I grew up in the US, so I only have memories of short visits there. This will mean that I will make mistakes on things, but I do have something to go off of. I just wish I was good with languages, I hate that my Japanese is poor ( OK, that's being kind ).

Rants: Sorry, while I don't dislike Akane, I don't see her as Ranma's best match. Not that there can't be good AkaneXRanma stories. Also, I don't like Ryouga much, he passes the blame for his problems off to Ranma much to easily, his honor is suspect to me. Not that he is without some good qualities. Genma goes without saying, he is little better than a child abuser, his views on women sicken me, falling into the Spring of Drowned Panda was too good for him.

Some story ideas I may work on (don't mind if others want to use, just let me know please).

1. Herb has had it with Lime and Mint, now they can touch breasts all they want, just not in the way they planned.

2. Genma learns a lesson in fatherhood after using a cursed item on Ranma making him relive Ranma's childhood from Ranma's point of view.

3. What if Soun's wife had not died.

4. What if Soun had two girls and a son, and the son fell for Ranma-chan at the start.

5. What if everyone thought that Genma and Ranma had died early in the training trip. And Nodoka and Soun had married each other to honor the pledge to join the schools. Makes for a strange home-coming when Genma and Ranma return.

6. Nodoka wants Genma and Ranma to honor the pledge and commit seppoku. Ranma refuses and breaks the family honor sword when Nodoka tries to use it on him.

7. Ranma's curse has been changed by Genma trying to cure Ranma (used as test before he tried it on himself). It now takes ice cold or colder water to change Ranma to a boy and the change to girl only takes lukewarm water or warmer. This is due to the interactions of the several curses ( the latest being the Dragon's Whisker) that Ranma has picked up due to Genma's cures. Each curse is now a little different than normal now.

8. Ranma and Nabiki switch bodies, now they have to find a way to switch back before one of Ranma's enemies kills Ranma's body. Well Nabiki always did want to be able to dress Ranma anyway she wanted, this was just not how she planned it.

9. will work on as time allows.
My Seven Ranma’s – came to me in a dream.
Six alternate Ranma’s from different dimensions are pulling into Ranma’s world. The other six do not at first realize that anything has changed, but that soon changes as they meet the other characters in Ranma’s life.The six Ranma – mix subject to changes (ideas welcome).
1. Ranko: She is a fully female version that grew up at the Tendo’s, while Genma took Akane’s male version on the training trip
2. Ranma2: a fully male version of Ranma trained and raised by Nodoka
3. Slayer Ranko: a version of Ranma with the Buffy template
4. Sailor Moon Ranko: a version of Ranma with the Sailor Moon template
5. Ranma3: a version of Ranma that has the Lost Boy problem (Ryoga)
6. Ranko2: a version of Ranko that uses magic more than martial arts.

7. Weird idea here - cross between Ranma and Chobits - Ranma is found nearly dead and dying by Ichiro Mihara who saves Ranma by transferring her mind into Freya's now mindless body. It is not a story that I could pull off, but I do think it is a new idea. Any takers? What do you think of the idea? Don't really know where to post a challenge like this.

8. Harry Potter idea that I would like to see done. Harry and Hermione switch bodies so that Harry can work on a plan without anyone knowing what he is doing. There is just one problem, before they can change back Hermione in Harry's body is killed by one of Voldemont's minions. Now, Harry is trapped as a girl and Voldemont believes that he can not be stopped now. Harry as Hermione must now stop the Dark Lord as the girl that lived.

Have a few more ideas, but they still need to slimmer.

Working on Reflections part 9 (6/19/09): I am still working on the story, so don't worry. I have just been pulled into my other story by a strong Muse, but I will get back to it at some point.

8/18/09 - Things are going slower than I planned, I am still working on chapter 9. This time I want to get things right and not rush my work. I want chapter 9 to be better than the other chapters and will hold off until I have it right.

11/08/09 - Will be back to update my stories after the fall semester is over.

Ranma writers should keep in mind that there is a rainy season in Japan from early June to late July and that the average number of rainy days in the area is 99.
