Here's another idea...
Instead of the author being tossed into the Ranma 1/2 universe, have
Ranma, Akane, and any other characters tossed into OUR universe...
What do ya think?
Revengefics.
Okay, even if that isn't what you meant, this has actually been done, and
is probably lying around somewhere on the RAAC, though I forget the title.
Some guy was messing around with Ranma anime tapes, and something goes
wrong bringing Ranma and Akane to the Real World. Eventually, he remembers
a fanfiction draft, and uses it to send them back. Not the best piece of
writing I'd ever seen, but not that bad either.
Note that the author assumed that Ranma & Akane were both fiction, and he
was real. My take on this idea (if I ever get around to it) is based off
the extreme form of solipsism. What if we were just manga/anime
characters, and the Anime characters were actually the authors who based
us off of their world to get a few cheap laughs? They would be writing an
Self Insertion fic, which we would insist is a Revengefic, and use their
SI-powers, which we would insist the manga author created for them, etc.
FFML 1/2, anyone? Urusei FFML? Since it crashes so much, The Dirty FFML?
If anyone knows of a funny way to do this, please do so, since everything
I write tends to drift towards metaphysics debates.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble. A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode. Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.
One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed. "Tell me."
I insisted. He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance. Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
