Once again an alternate history sticks slavishly to the original.

I know.  I'm sorry.  I'm getting there...  

Okay, fine, I'll drop a bit of what I'm planning, so that people don't 
get bored and wander off.  All the original characters exist in this 
world.  A good number of them will do no more than make a cameo.  My 
creations are not 100% "original".  Most of them are involved with one 
of the old chars.  I am NOT going to introduce another Ryouga, just 
switched genders.  She will have a curse and the direction problem (being
a Hibiki), but outside of that will be a rather different char, with a 
more interesting Triangle than the Ran-Aka-Ryo one.

More importantly, I am going to utilize Akama and Tenma to greater
effect.  Ranma IS NOT the heir to the SSoAGMA.  That's all I'm going
to say on that for now.  If you read Part 2, you'd have noticed 
Ranma and Akama's reactions when Akane mentioned "China".  They are
clues as to what their pasts were like.  If you didn't catch it then,
or Akama's hostility to his late father... 

Considering that Akane doesn't need to change back and Ranma isn't in
love with Tofu, there was no reason for the stop at the clinic.

Oh yes there is.  Didn't you read my Notes?  "Kimiko, Kimiko, Kimiko."
Just who the H@ll is Kimiko.  (Once again, this is not going to be just
a female Dr. Tofu...)

Akane should have met Tofu for the first time after his first injury.
Considering that Akane doesn't need to change back either time, Akane
and Ranma would not have been late for school, and would not have been
standing out in the hall for that reason.  Also...and this is a bit of

You know how hard it is to wake up Ranma in the mornings and you need to 
ask?  He usually times it so that he'll make it in barely on time.  
Akane-Kuno dalliance lengthened that out until they were late..  

riddle for me...why does Akane say and do everything the way Ranma would
in mainline?

Uhhh....  If the title is of any indication... Akane is pretty much
standing in Akane's shoes and Akane in Ranma's.  I purposefully went
back and used lines verbatim.  That way the differences are the
important things.  I know its boring.  I know it seems like a recounting.
I need to do this to set the stage, before I can introduce the rest of
the cast...

That being said, I like Kuno's motivation.  There you have something
different.  Oddly enough, Kuno makes more sense in this reality.

I have the perfect subplot involving the Kendo Club.  More on that later.
A lot later.

      "My name is Upperclassman Kuno.  Junior.  Group E.  Captain of the
Kendo Club.  Undefeated new star of the high school fencing world.  But
my peers call me... the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High!"  A crash of
thunder marks his statement, and Akane-kun looks up in wonder at the
clear sky.

Confusing your tenses there.

Probably.  Its a draft.  No pre-reading done, whatsoever.  I suck at
grammar.  

Thanks for the critique.  I totally agree with you.  Just give it a
chance.
