Volume 4 P-T
P:Palmer,Perry
Two entries in P
Joseph Palmer is the author of the Season Series and the Colors series. His works are the
epitome of emotion. His style definitely fits his chosen genre, the WAFF. Emotion and
atmosphere are excellently crafted by him in his fics. Another recommended for beginners
to study for emotion.
Krista Perry is the author of Hearts of Ice, one of the best Ranma 1/2 stories I've ever read.
She is the mistress of the literary concept of urgency or as the laymen call it 'The Cliffhanger'.
Also skilled in plotting , characterization and evoking emotion, Hearts of Ice is a masterpiece
of all three.
Q:
No entries
R:Ryoucilo,Rao,Rogers,RpM
Four entries in R
Ryoucilo is the author of so many fics that I can't count all of them. His fics are usually
shorts that don't go over 30-40 kb. What's special about Ryoucilo is his ability to make
sick,disgusting and sometimes totally perverted fics and still manage not to reach the
Oscar level. Heck, some of it is even downright excellent, and all of them are funny as
hell.
Anand Rao is the author A Stained Glass Mind, For the Children and the Kasumi/Ranma
fic which I forgot the title. His style is emotion driven, evoking atmosphere and emotions
in such a way that you become entranced with the story.
Christian Rogers is the Flashman, author of TRIO, The FFML Royal Rumble and other fics.
His work to say the least is action-packed, a roller coaster ride of emotions, character and
battle scenes that some authors would sell their brothers for. His style draws you in to the
story, enhancing their enjoyment value and readability.
RpM is the author of The More Things Change and The Pursuit of Happiness and other
fics. He is also best known for creating Ryo Muhoshin, undoubtedly one of the most
popular character in anime fanfiction. His style has the ability to be flexible, able to
evoke both joy and despair when necessary.
S:Solathei,Skuse,Seawright,Sommer,Sandborn
Five entries in S
Sailor Solathei is the author of Children of Jenova, the best FF7 fanfic on the FFML. She
is very skilled in plotting as shown by her fic. She also has the ability for excellent
characterizations that make reading her fics a great joy.
Andy Skuse is the author of Bubblegum Cross. He's written a decent story, managing
to weave new elements seamlessly into the canon BGC that we know and love. Blackie,
Sylia's "boomer" brother, is one of the best original characters I've seen to date (in a BGC
fic, that is). Priss' usual, rather shallow stormy disposition is developed and deepened
into something three-dimensional and living. It's good reading if you want to learn how to
develop your characters well. -Entry by Damon Casale
Caroline Seawright is the author of Ranma Nibunnoichi, making her my favorite lemon
writer. She is very skilled in writing emotions and feelings as evidenced by her work
on the lemons and as attested by her new non-lemon Red Dwarf work, Death Is Not
The End.
D.B. Sommer is the author of Shampoo 1/2, one of the best Ranma alternate histories
on the FFML. He is skilled both evoking emotions and setting the atmosphere for the
fic. He is also a master plotter as evidenced by the roller coaster ride that Shampoo 1/2
is.
Greg Sandborn is the author of Nabiki:New Horizons. His style has the ability to create
vivid scenes and evoke emotions. Also, his masterful characterizations and magnificent
plotting makes his work one of the classics of fanfiction.
T:Tatum,Teknos Warhammer,Tiger,Thompson,Tsai,Tonbo
Six entries to T
David Tatum is the author of many fics having at least one person named Desaix in the
cast. That's a distinct trait of his work, just a little nit. Anyway, he is skilled writer and
all of his works are examples of good plotting. He also has the ability to evoke strong
emotions which he uses to great effect in some of his fics.
Teknos Warhammer is the author of what I shall call the Teknoman shared universe since
he managed to weave Ranma 1/2,Sailormoon, Evangelion and others into the Teknoman
universe. That achievement is a tribute to his skill in plotting and characterization.
T.H. Tiger is the author of Shikinma Interface,Tench and Ranma: Together Forever and
other fics. He is a very skilled writer as shown by his works, which are masterpieces
of plotting and crafting dialogue.
Jeremy Thompson is the author of Lost and Forgotten, one of the most innovative SIs
I've ever read. His style is very good at setting atmosphere and creating vivid scenes.
This SI is innovative in that Jude, Jeremy's character is an absolutely normal and sane
fellow. You don't see those in SIs much, nowadays.
Stephen Tsai is the head author of Kimagure Orange College and Bishoujo No Senshi
Sailor Ranma. He is a skilled writer in the script format, which I should say is much
harder than it looks. His style is also eminently suited for both. His work is something
I advise beginners to study if they want to make script format stories.
Tonbo is the author of The Plan. He is a very good beginning writer. That is why advise
other beginners to take a look at The Plan to get a few more tips on writing fanfics.

' Writers are the torchbearers of civilization. We're set in a corner only we
can illuminate.Some of us are searchlights, able to cast a beam into the
far reaches of the human soul.Some of us are candles , barely able to
sustain a glow against the darkness. Nevertheless the words I write
are important, because light is additive. Another's light doesn't diminish
my own. Our lights together make us stronger.'
