Just out of curiosity, I have a few issues I need worked out:

1)  What exactly goes as far as 'allowed' in Ranma fanfics.  I'm told 
that by convention, use of manga characters only is encouraged, if not 
required.  Is that true?  Manga only?  If not, who's acceptable?  
Hinako Ninomiya okay?

You're not allowed to use Ranma Saotome or Ryouga Hibiki. Seriously, who
told you what to write and not write? You can use any characters in any
setting in any situation you want. Go wild, go crazy.

2)  What is the spelling for the five yen trick Hinako-sensei does?

Happo 5 yen Shatsu? I can be wrong.

4)  The fighting style that Ranma employs is supposed to be the 
Anything-Goes Martial Arts style.  Then again, he also says he studies 
kenpo.  I take it there are various forms incorporated in the AGMA style?

There's also Indiscrminate grappling. Pick any three, it seems that fanfic
authors are doing that.
