Hi hi all,

Since I have no time to write anything on my own. :p

Here's an idea I ran into:

What if Ranma lost his memory and doesn't remember Akane or any of his
fiance's. I mean TOTAL loss, no love-will-conquer-all kinda themes. :p

ARGHHHH!!!!I REALLY did think of that. That WAS supposed to be my next general
plotline in my next installment 'Ranma's girls' series. Actually. I've thought
about usin' that, for real, as the sequel to it. I've even researched into it.
What you're referrin' to is called 'fugue', no, not a song where a certain part
is repeated in different instruments. I've read an entire book on that to see if
it was plausible, and it is. I've thought about givin' Ranma this problem. He'll
remember his daughters, but he won't remember Akane. And it'll stay that way.
There is NO way for him to ever remeber her and what they shared before.
Akane'll be a stranger in his life. It would turn out as if Ranma and Akane met
for the very first time because to Ranma, they will. I've even thought of a good
reason _why_ Ranma would suffer from this. I wanted it to come about after Ranma
and Akane get together. It comes about when his mind finally decides that it's
time to face the world again after it went into...solace...when he found out he
had to quit his job at the company. I've EVEN put in subtle hints on that so I
could do it. Ranma would also act differently because before he loses his
memory, he was never really...himself.

Wing. [ If anyone writes it though, I hope it's a sweet, but realistic
       romance. ^_^]


Aghh, I was meanin' to write it in the same fashion as my Ranma's girls. Oh
well, looks like I won't be doin' it now since I've always liked believing my
own ideas were original, but since it no longer is....
I'm sorry, I jus' can't. I'm jus' an idiot that way. Now that I KNOW that I'm
not the only one who've thought of this makes it seem less worthwhile for some
reason. I jus' don't like the thought of someone readin' my story and flamin' me
for sayin' I stole their idea. For some reason, I think that's why I don't like
people sendin' me suggestion on what to write for my next fanfic.
Look's like I'll hafta write that side story that takes place durin' my 'Ranma's
girl' based on Mousse and Shampoo that I've thought about writin'. Hey,. who
knows, it might be a blessin' in disguise.
