Author has written 6 stories for Sailor Moon, and Ranma.

Just your basic mad scientist type. More details available at my site, http://washuu.net .

It might be a good idea to discuss writing here. For Ranma, I usually go with fanon. It's a lot richer than canon is, and gives more wiggle-room in characterization. And it's not nearly as fussy about what-happened-in-what-order. I want Konatsu in my fiction? I put hir there, even if sie didn't show up until near the end of the manga. I can choose between sane and insane Nodokas. I can make Ryoga, or Genma, worthwhile or a waste of human flesh. One reason there's so much Ranma fanfic is that Takahashi seldom grasped a nettle, and if she did, she forgot about it as rapidly as possible. The anime/manga cries out for resolutions, but resolutions aren't canon; we fan-writers have to supply them.

When I'm doing Sailor Moon, I try to work with the Sailor Moon S (third season) anime canon. It's a good jumping-off place, and comes with an actual resolution.

I go with canon for Tenchi, also, but allow both the OVA and Tenchi Universe. I vigorously ignore GXP and Tenchi in Tokyo. And Tenchi's mother is not named Kiyone; Kiyone is a Galaxy Police officer.

When it comes to Bjorn Njalsson, the were-bear, he is my own character. I've sold a couple of his stories. And if I write it, it is canon.

In 2009, I am taking a break to write a book on the history of electricity. You can check out a few of the chapters on my website: go to The Lab, then click History. Those particular versions were written when I was laboring under a thousand-word limit, and had to keep the pictures down; they'll be plumped up considerably before they reach their final state.

With luck, I'll do a few epilogues to Different Colors to tie off the loose ends that were left dangling when I decided not to write the remaining two books of the trilogy. Don't know how many there'll be - I have storyline all the way down to Crystal Tokyo, by way of Ragnarok, which is preceded by Fimbulwinter, aka the Great Freeze. Ranma and Akane will make it all the way there, in a peculiar fashion that doesn't involve time travel. Ranma will not wear a sailor fuku, though robes for both Shinto Priest and Miko will feature in hir life.
