I really have to agree with Patrick about too many Ranma fics. Sure I love 
Ranma
fics, but there should be a little more variety. I've never made a Ranma 
fic{And
never plan to. never.} But why are there so many Ranma fic's anyways. why 
is
there so little slayers, ah my goddess. I could go on and on and on with 
that
list, but I won't.

  Badgering the list about this isn't going to help. The reason there is so 
many Ranma fics is due to the fact that fans of the series feel inspired 
enough, be it the characters, the story, the situation... whatever, to write 
a story about it. That's not saying that other series' don't do that as 
well, only that one series inspires more than another does.
  Instead of complaining about the low number of fics of a particular series 
there is, write it. If there's something you want to see in a fic, write it.
  I'll be cheesy and say, "The Power is Yours!"
