I bet everyone is expecting me to spout something pithy about entire 
newsgroup debacale, or something like that.

Well, I'm not.  I'm going to get back to the real reason why I'm here: 
To piss everyone off by asking lame questions then bugging people to 
write fanfics about them.

However, I do have a low-cost way to back up your fics...  You could 
print them out.  Sure, if you ever lose the file, your up shit creek 
without a paddle, but hey, I never said it was efficient.  All I said 
was that it was cheap.  (Although you might want to consider some 
alternatives if you are... say... RpM, Twister, God-Boy, Zen, or 
SkyKnight.  With this method, Long is _BAD_!!!)

Now, on to the other stuff...

I would really like to see Ranma get annoied at something, then storm 
off to prove that he could do it better.

The something I have in mind?

Crime Fighting.

Ranma is watching Batman, and gets into a huff because he thinks he 
could do better, and Akane challenges him, and so on and so forth, and 
so a new Coustume-ed Crime Fighter is born.  But what would his name be? 
(Maybe there could be a few cameos by the Dark Knight himself?)

Next...

Why is it that whenever Nabiki gets pregnant, she always wrestles with 
the option of getting an abortion, then finally decides to not only keep 
the baby, but marry the father?  Even if she normally wouldn't look at 
him twice?  My personal political views aside, people do get abortions, 
and people do decide to have children without even informing the 
fathers.  Why does getting pregnant make Nabsie a wuss?

(BTW, I sat down today to read some fics.  Read all of Brutal Reality in 
one sitting.  Including the new part that came over the list.  Lara?  
Damn good fic!  Is there more?)

Ever notice that Batman and Joker are a lot like Ranma and Ryoga, in 
some sick and twisted sort of way?

Why is it that people automatically comply when they are told to kneel 
before an addle brained cremepuff of a Dumpling Head?  If I were there, 
I would probably be too busy rolling on the floor laughing my ass off to 
even say a polite hello, let alone kneel and pledge loyalty...  
Honestly, when you think about the destiny of the world in Usagi's 
hands, you can either laugh hysterically or cry hysterically.  Kneeling 
calmly and pledging loyalty figures nowhere into that.  Shouldn't there 
be some sort of compentency test before you assume the throne of the 
World?  Endymion's not a problem.  I could follow him.  Serenity?  I 
wouldn't trust her with a goldfish, not to mention the world.

What purpose does Rei serve?  She is the only Megumi role that willies 
me. (As in give me the willies.  Minds out of gutters, please...)

When asked what would happen if Ranma got Pregnant, Rumiko Takahashi was 
quoted as saying: I don't think about that.  Neither should you.  THAT'S 
IT!!!  NO MANGA FOR YOU!!!!  _NEXT_!!!

Rumiko Takahashi: The Manga Nazi

Truly, if I did offend anyone with anything in this post, please feel 
free to privately flame me, or better yet, get even by writing me into 
your fic.  Use me as a nameless Ensign... So long as I get named, I 
really don't mind... But remember.  Spam is Bad, mkay?  So don't spam, 
because spam is bad, mkay?

To Touch is to Heal.
To Hurt is to Steal.
If you wanna kiss the Sky,
Better learn how to kneel.

On your knees, boy.
