Really, just some things I was curious about as I sit and try to continue my
own fics...

Where to start?  Oh yes...

1. Fanfiction most in need of  a Lemon side-story?

Real toss-up between Daigakusei no Ranma (Ranma and Akane) and Kimagure
Orange College (Kyousuke and Madoka)

2. Favorite quote (dramatic)

3. Favorite quote (comedic)

Sorry for the rather long reply here. From Dance of Shiva Chap. 8

     "Well, here's a little story.  I'm from outer space, working for the
Galaxy Police.  My partner is about to blast her way in here with her
space ship and turn you into a large pile of ash along with your little
friends.  Someone in your company has a grudge against the house of Jurai
and we're going to bring him to justice, quite possibly over your dead
body.  Do you want to surrender now or shall we do this the hard way?"

     Leon blinked.  Mr. Warren began to laugh.  "I haven't had this good a
laugh in a long time.  Let's try the truth this time around?"

     "Okay,  the truth is that my partner can't find the keys to her
spaceship, so she brought the Knight Sabres instead.  KNIGHT SABRES, GO!"

     The ceiling exploded and four female figures in hard suits crashed
down, followed by a fifth figure in a green clunky looking battle suit who
toppled through the hole and landed on her head.  She promptly started
yelling, "Owwie!"

     Everyone froze for a few seconds as Sabre-Green quietly slapped her
forehead.  Sabre Prime spoke.  "Give up now."

     Mr. Warren swore.  Damnit.  "Deal with them,"  he said to his
bodyguards and ran.  The three bodyguards promptly did the 'split out of
their skin into a big blue laws of physics defying critter' trick.  The
Sabres opened fire, not waiting for them to finish.  The other men in the
place ran for their lives, knowing they were just ordinary humans and not
heavily enough armed to deal with the Knight Sabres.

     Sabre-Pink chased Mr. Warren while the others dealt with the three
combat boomers.  Meanwhile, the clunky green mech headed over to where
Leon and Andrea were still tied up.  Leon turned to Andrea.  "Please tell
me that's NOT Mihoshi in that thing."

     "That's not Mihoshi in that thing."  Andrea said.

    The green mech tried to lean down to untie the two and fell down
instead, nearly crushing Leon's legs.  "ITAI!"  The mech shouted.

     Leon sighed.  "You lied to me!"

     "You asked me to lie to you!"

     "Good point."

4. Fanfic with most OOC characters, in a continued series

5. Fanfic where the characters are soooo IC, that you'd almost consider the
fanfic as canon.

6.  Favorite SI

Oh My God! by Brett Handy

7. Favorite new character fanfic that's NOT and SI

8. Favorite new character fanfic that's not an SI, but sure as hell feels
like one.

9. Favorite 'I love you' scene and/or best kiss.

For best kiss. Where Ranma kisses Akane in the nightclub in Granada, Spain
in Chasing the Wind.

10. Grandest death.

11. Favorite fanfic that didn't seem to have anything to do with the anime
or manga that it was based on.

12.  Crossovers that really weren't meant to be.

13. Favorite cross over.

Dance of Shiva by John Walter Biles

14. Fanfic that you like *better* than the anime/manga that it was based on.

15.  Writer/Reader that most often gives C&C?

16. Writer/Read that gives the most detailed C&C?

17. Favorite *completed* fanfics that you wish had been continued.

Chasing the Wind by J. Austin Wilde

Well, that's it...  Um, the list was a little longer than I had planned.  Oh
well.  These I read more fanfics than manga (or watching anime.)   After
all, it's cheaper.  ^_-

That's all where I'm really sure of my answers.
