(NOTE HOMEPAGE SERVER IS CURRENTLY BACK UP, DEBATING RE-DESIGNING)

My homepage link above goes to my personal computer that runs a html server at my house. This means that if my computer crashes, or loses power, the server will not be up, and the connection will time out. Try again in a few hours or the next day. The old server's motherboard/processor took its final breath, and I took the drive out and popped it in another Pentium IV comp with less memory. I bought a new computer for personal use so the server is dedicated only to server use, not personal and should crash less.

Fun question: Does anyone know what Manga my Avatar picture is from? PM me if you think you know. (3-4 people have got it so far. It is not a main-stream manga. Hint: German Named Series)

About the updating... Just so you know, I have a lot going on in my personal life right now. I became a father in the last year and me and the wife are looking at splits-ville. And no, it is not my wife’s child. And no, i did not cheat on my wife, it was before we were married and when we were partying...let’s just say she was there the night my son was conceived. So my advice to you guys reading this who aren’t to geeky to get laid, WRAP IT THE HELL UP, and at worst PULL OUT! My “sex-capades” have caused me no end of grief because of it. Yes, it can happen to you too! And guys, realize that men get the screw job when it comes to kids. Mommy always get them, and unless you two get along, you are lucky to get two weekends a month. And say goodbye to at least a fourth of your check, and that's not the money you spend out of pocket.

Okay. I've had alot go on in my life, and broke-ness and my good buddy moving away has given me little to do. So I've decided to try and take up writing fanfiction again. I've tired of working on my web design that has distracted me for the last year.

On The Drawing Board
The Next Level - Ranma gains the interest of some old and powerful people who wish to teach him the original secret of Martial Arts and Magic.

A Different Fate 2- Continuation of A Different Fate. I really don't want to mar the "completed" story directly by adding chapters. I skim through my reviews time to time in my email, and I've gotten so many requests over the years to continue my most popular story... it's humbling. Allow me to entertain you some more. I may have to take a "refresher" read of Love Hina first, before continuing. I have to get the characters' personalities back into my head.

Alive and Kickin Stories
Eezoon, Dragons Ring

Has a Pulse
Birth of a Matriarch, When Things Happen(Maybe)

Stories in Limbo
Clear Blue Sky, To Become a God,

Dead
Hina 1/2- This may have a comeback one day, but I generally don't like alterverses, and they are extremely annoying to write properly. You technically should have all the major events and people show up throughout the series that aren't influenced by the change you made. This means I'd have to follow through the Ranma Manga, and Hina Manga and keep major events in order, although there will be different responses to them.

Addicted to Your Embrace- This was spawned from a disturbing idea. I'm older now, and this idea is all the more uncomfortable. I haven't read the reviews on it yet, and am afraid to.

NEVER
Happosai's Revenge- It comes off to me as a great short, entertaining story that does not have the feel of an uncompleted plot. Sure it'd be fun to see where it goes after this...but that's up to the reader's imagination and would ruin the story to take that away. I refuse to become one of those who write a story with no intention of wrapping it up, or dragging it on forever. A story has a beginning, middle and end, just like life does. Plus I want to have at least one No-Sh*t completed story.

Complicated Feelings - This story is my first venture into writing, and is somewhat painful for me to read. Not to mention how stupid I was with the community back then...getting into a flame-fest with the then Eva "Big Boys". Though to this day I still think the "Big Boys" writing sucked worse than I realize this sucks now. Though it should not be that much a surprise. The Eva Fanficdom has an averagely lower quality than Ranma. Though, in honesty, some of them have gotten decent compared to their old days. They probably were just 13 or something when they started.

My Current Fanfiction Reading List

A Different Curse.- Nothing particularly badass about it, but the style is leaps and bounds run-of-the-mill fanfiction.

NGE: Nobody Dies - This fic is pure entertainment. I'm not really a fan of alterverses, but this guy is funny and has great characterization skills.

A Fix of Wild Magic - Not a big fan of non-anime crossovers, but this author's simply eloquent writing keeps me from dipping. He also writes at least at a 12th grade level, which is sad to say, most fanfiction does not. Its probably the first time they've wrote anything other than a report.

Her War - I'm a pretty big Materia-Blade fan. Doesn't hurt that the author is also a big fan of the Wheel of Time series and mimics the epic coolness pretty well. So Be It also made me mess my pants.

Dark Lords of Nerima- This one is up there in unique Ranma/Sailor moon crossovers. And he can write! lol.

Ranma's Eternal Night - Big fan of both Hellsing and Ranma. This guy puts it together well.

Fearless - A love Hina story. Written by Random1337. A lot of his stories make me touch myself. Lol.

No Need for Destiny- Well written. I am a fan of removing Ranma from the Ranma-verse and returning him back. Not to mention it is Innortal. A lot of his stories also make me wanna touch myself.

Ripples of a Chaotic Pebble- A unique world and time hopping series. Gaming Ikari has moments of sheer awesomeness.

I'm a big WFROSE fan, but all of active fics crossover with games, and I didn't get into gaming too much, so I'm not too familiar with some of the series. Though I might start reading one because he has yet to disappoint me. He's mostly comedy, but shown he could flex his creativity in romance with Older.

My Oldschool Fanfiction Picks

Old school Awesomeness that the new Generation of Ranma Fanfic readers should check out.

I'll attempt to list off some...

The Best Laid Plans

Schools United

Fragile Clay This is one of the most emotionally moving stories ever. Enough to ignore his over-used punctuation, specifically the exclamation mark. I think this one is rarely known.

Sailor Ranko - This includes most of the offshoots and continuations.

Waters Under the Earth- This is quite a painful read if you haven't gotten used to almost overly descriptive epic fantasies Also don't think this is on FF.net

Just Won't Die -Don't think this is on FF.net. This is a Super-Mega Crossover. After about 5 MB pure plain txt-format text, it starts getting to be too much, and too long. The first 5 Arcs are good. Starts fading off with the 6th and 7th if I remember. Also due to the reality warping nature of the series due to becoming GOD in eva, there are alot of off shoots from the main storyline that are full stories in their own right. Makes it annoying to follow it all.

Hearts of Ice- Don't remember too much of it, but what I can is that it is a epic romance/adventure. Close to completion, but never completed. Kinda hurts where it drops off. Recently PM'd that it is now complete.

Juubun Incident - Awesomely creates a very "human" reality. Read it too many times to read it again soon.

Can it Get Any Worse- Ranma is raised by demons and has to teach the senshi magic. This actually is more of a Sailor Moon fanfiction, with a character that has only a small tie with Ranma from the Ranma-verse.

Jim Bader Stories - He hosted them on adult host sites long ago, and I think alot of his accounts expired. He is a heavy alterverse, and I no longer have a taste for them. He wrote the longest Ranma fanfiction possibly ever Tale of Two Wallets. This guy, however, is a ragingly perverted old guy. Now I like my sex, but this guy overdoes it too much for me now. I don't think I ever finished everything I read of his because he would go through years of no update, then spit them out like candy. Story is too long to re-read it all to refresh, so I gave up. Not to mention my dislike of alterverses.

A Man Amongst Women - Not sure if this is on FF.net. This includes its prequels. The off FF.net website also has some other goodies wrote by him. I think Taming a Wild Horse.

Shampoo 1/2 - DB Sommer.

Destiny's Child - I'm reasonably sure this is on FF.net

Ten - Epic fantasy.

Bliss - Almost a non-fanfiction. You have no idea who the characters are until the end.

Furies - SM/Ranma crossover. This was on geocities, not sure if it got archived here. I'm very grateful that many of them posted their stories here before they forgot about them, or stopped writing. There are still alot of stories lost, like from anifics, but a surprising number are backed up here. With the fall of webpage hosting to social websites that made internet presence easy, alot of fanfics were lost with geocities and the like.

Girl Days

Dew on the Grass- I can't remember if this was the sequel or the first. Either way, great stuff.

Lost Innocence - Thrythlind author. I think he's still active on anime-addventure. But he has an account here.

Miss/Fortune - The incident with the koi rod gone horribly right. Disturbing and horribly angsty. But a great peace of work.

Choices - This is a disturbing one again, introduces the harsh reality of rape to the Ranma-verse if I remember correctly.

I could go on and on, but I'll just tell you to visit the Penultimate Ranma Fanfiction Index and check the "Long Fics" and the "Rahkal Likes" pages. Then check out the Lost Library of Florestica. That is mostly all-encompassing. If the links don't work, try searching FF.net for the story. FF.net came out roughly around the time alot of those stories were posted. Now that I realize there are some classics I having read for a while that are primarily only in Floresitica, I Know what I'll be doing...
