Author has written 25 stories for Ranma. Akane is the only true fiancee. I am a male in my early 50's, with a background in mathematics and programming, and a general interest in the physical sciences. My primary interest here is in Ranma 1/2 fanfiction. My own personal taste is for stories dealing with the romance between Akane and Ranma, and I don't normally write or voluntarily read stories which pair either of them with anyone else. On the other hand, I understand how people can hold different opinions about this. It seems to me that most of the characters in the manga exhibit inconsistent personalities, according to what Takahashi-sensei needed for the current story arc, and how one feels about a particular character depends on how one resolves these inconsistencies in one's own mind. Personally, I like Akane, I find Ukyo to be mildly annoying, I despise Ryoga, etc. Your mileage may vary. Stories I write generally focus on the romance between Akane and Ranma. The best for which Shampoo and Ryoga can usually hope is a neutral treatment, since I dislike both characters. Kasumi and Tofu can generally be assured of a positive treatment. Other characters will be portrayed positively or negatively according to the needs of the story. Almost all characters will behave "out of character"; first, because of the inconsistency noted above - I do not believe most of the characters have a consistent character from the series to be in - and second, because I am writing a romance, not a martial arts farce. The needs of the genre impose different requirements on the characters' behaviors. Web site: The official versions of my stories are located there, in addition to some other material concerning Ranma 1/2, including excerpts from my replies to reviews. If you wish to email me directly, you may find a link on my web site. LiveJournal site: Here I give hints of progress I or my pre-reader am making on chapters of stories, as well as providing other little tidbits such as observations about things I've noticed in the manga. It has been a considerable time since I updated one of my stories, and there is no sign that this will change soon. In the summer of 2009 I had serious coronary problems, with stomach ulcers tossed in just for fun. I ended up having four separate catheterizations, and now have several stents in my chest. Recovery was slow, and I've never regained my former energy. I can manage to do my job, but I just don't seem to have much creative juice left over after. The few updates which took place after August 2009 were things which were already in the pipeline. I do hope to get back to writing someday, but at this time I cannot predict when that will be. The status of completed stories I plan to post is given below. (None at this time.) The stories below are exceptions to my rule about completing the story before I begin posting. I make no promises abut the rate at which chapters will be posted, or even that the story will ever be completed. Side by Side - Posting is in progress. Ongoing story. Next up: On hiatus. A few tidbits about story statistics: | |||||||
