Blade: As we've complained about on untold forums until
everybody was heartily sick of listening to us talk, we have
long felt
that the biggest problem with Ranma fanfiction is that
almost
nobody takes the time to research the original series before
writing.

With bad formatting coming in a close second...
 
Ranma's weakness: Ranma fails to become a cat-girl, but
tries really hard.

To the disappointment of fans everywhere.  :)
 
Fake Nannichuan: Dojo Destroyer fails to be an impressive
villain.  "I don't even get to star in my own story," he
complained.

Heeheehee

Ranma And Juliet: It's better than the Leonardo Di Caprio
version.  "And I'm sexier, too," said Ranma.
"Than the one who played Romeo, or the one who played
Juliet?" asked Tarou.

Heeheehee

Gambling King: Ukyou gets another story, in which weirdo
outsmarts Ranma.

Well, considering that both Ranma and weirdo show about as much
intelligence as your average frog...

Panda Ghost: Poor art ruins story.

<shrug> Is that panda some Japanese cultural reference that I
am ignorant of?

Reversal Jewel: Nothing important happens in this story.

Except that Cologne is an annoying old bat again.

Musk Dynasty: Jokes about breasts are made.  Mysterious figure
defenestrates Akane to prove what a vicious bastard he is. More
jokes about breasts are made.  Ryouga gets killed. Breast jokes
abound.  Magic teakettle saves day.  "I do not like breast jokes,"
said Herb.

Well, it sags a little in places, but in general, it's pointed in
the right direction.  A well-rounded story.  :)

Joketsuzoku Glasses: Mousse is a dishonourable loser. 
"Ranma started it," he protested.

As opposed to Ranma, who is a dishonourable winner...

Ranma's Tears: Ranma blubbers like a baby.  "I'm going to
hunt you down," he said.

Well, this sounds more like Ranma.

Battle Dougi: Akane gains power from perverted impulses.

80 years hence, Akannousai goes around tormenting hansome
young men...
 
Kami Mimic: Monster impersonates Shampoo.  Mousse can't tell
difference.

Surprised?

Shinto Shrine: Ranma run afoal of the gods.  "Groan," said
Blade.

A real rapstallion.

Akane's Dream: Ukyou also wears metal bustier.  Less people
complain.

Perhaps that's because she doesn't 'really' wear it...
