Wow it's a good thing I Temp joined the list to gather any Halloween
stuff
that appeared or I would have missed this. Where did you dig this up
from anyway? I think I only posted this once... also note that at the
time I wrote this I intended to stick it somewhere in my RGAC fanfic
then decided against it. Too OOC and too violent. So it is still
sitting
untouched in my files somewhere. It was never meant to be taken
seriously but whatever, read it how you will.

"Ranma Kills!" is the property of Sir Asayogure and he's welcome to
it.
I do not intend to offend him for making fun of his work like this but
I
figure it's only a matter of time before someone does. Think of this
as
another form of C&C. ;)

Dr. Forrester held the fanfic up to the viewscreen. "I bid you pain,
Joel,
with 'Ranma Kills!' by Sir Asayogure. Send them the fanfic, Frank..."
Just so the general reading audience knows this was never meant
as a "fanfic" it was stress relief pure and simple. I wrote it, ran it
through
a spell checker and sent it. If anything it was a SPAM-fic sort of
thinger.
[snip]
Crow: <George Carlin> This fic is
rrrrrrrrreally.....rrrrrrrrrreally....
sssssssssssssssssloooooooow....
That is the way I write, I take my time I build up to things and
I describe things. I can't stand reading stories with a plot
line that goes:
This happened
Then this happened
Then everyone laughed
Then some more stuff happened
... etc etc.
If you don't like the way I write I would be more than happy
to direct you to a few fanfics that are the complete opposite
of my writing style
[snip]
Suddenly Ranma's world focused again,
Tom: Great! So from this point on, the rest of this fic should be
totally IC
and canon, right?
Joel: Hey, there's always hope, right?
It was never intended to be In Character or follow any conventional
canon, this was a stress relief pure and simple. The title
itself should tell you that.
[snip]
"I'm Ranma Saotome, sorry about this"
Tom: You should be, pal, you should be.
I didn't mean it like that. But if you took
such strong offense to this then I am glad you have
found a way to deal with it.
[snip]
*END FOR NOW!!*
Tom: Good! This fic can't end enough for me! The whole thing was so
un-Ranma, I felt like I was reading a 'Punisher' comic or something!
Joel: No kidding. I mean, Ranma going postal and maiming people
just doesn't work when he wouldn't even let Soun and Genma mail
Happosai to the north pole....
Tom: Yeah. And part of the central concept of the series is that
things
AREN'T black vs. white the way this author is portraying. Nobody in
the
manga is a saint, and nobody is without some sort of redeeming virtue
at
least once in a while.
Rape does not have to be thought about. It cannot be justified and it
is never okay. Now if the female (or male) participant is willing (as
so many people have tried to point out to me) then it is not really
rape is it? Then it is role playing and that is your own business.
But save your breath if you intend to convince me that rape is not
a black and white issue, for me it is. As far as I am concerned there
would be no second chances and I really wouldn't care about reasons
or "whatifs." This is exactly the way I would react (in part) to this
situation if I was Ranma, which is exactly how and why I was writing
this in the first place.
Crow: Well, at the very least, it had a lot of action. That's better
than nothing.
Tom: Are you kidding me?!? Ranma didn't use ANY of his signature
moves, he ripped off Ryouga's Full Shishi Hokodan, which, by the way,
uses DEPRESSION as a weapon, not RAGE, and then he suddenly becomes
GOD when he determines none of the gang members have the right to LIVE
anymore....
Just to clarify a point, I did not write it to rip off Ryouga's move.
Yes I am
fully aware that his move is fueled by depression. Ranma's move was
similar
but with lethal intent, Ryouga's is not intended to kill as far as I
have been
able to determine.
Joel: Um, Tom?
Tom: <continuing> .....then Ranma stands there like an idiot and gets
himself shot and he DIES! Volia! A great place to end the fic and
show
the reader what false bravado gets them! But NOOOOOO.....
I agree that part was a little funky, but so what? This was not
supposed
to be taken seriously.
Crow: Uh, Tom, are you okay?
Tom: <steam starting to rise from his bubbledome> Instead, we have
some....'being of light' or some crap like that, come down to earth,
plays
tonsil hockey with Ranma and gives him the powers of the force, even
when it's PAINFULLY obvious that the author is trying to pad out the
fic by making this gang seem tougher than they really are because
anyone
with half a BRAIN knows Ranma could have wasted these guys in 5
seconds flat without breaking a SWEAT!!!
That wasn't the point, as I see it Ranma has been conditioned NOT (yes I
emphasize particular points with all capitals, deal with it) to kill.
So
it had to have extreme cause and he had to be forced into the killing.
Crow: <bigsweats> C-Come on, Servo, you're thinking about this way
too much....
Joel: Just think happy thoughts, Tom! Happy thoughts!
Tom: <a black aura forms around his bubblehead, it's edges rippling
with a crimson, blood-like substance that flickers wildly about like
flames from a fire.> AND THE WAY THE AUTHOR KEPT FEELING
THE NEED TO EXPLAIN *EVERY* SINGLE LITTLE DEVELOPMENT,
FROM THE POSSIBLE IMPACT OF A MISSED PUNCH TO HOW WE
SHOULD FEEL ABOUT THE BLACK LEATHER GANG!!! GOD, IT
JUST MAKES ME *SO* MAD!!! I'M FILLED WITH ANGER!!! I'M
ENRAGED!!! I'M FURIOUS!!! I'M....I'M GOING TO....TO....TO....
It is called descriptive detail. Try picking up almost any Sci-fi
novel in any book store in America and reading the first chapter,
I expect you will find a LOT of descriptive detail. If you don't like
that, then try reading script format pal.

Finally I'd like to thank Sir Asayogure for writing 'Ranma Kills!' and
giving me a lot of material to work with. I hope you're not
offended.
It's all meant in good fun. :)
First of all I don't go by "Sir" any more I have decided I don't like
titles. If you want to use it go ahead. Next I want to assure you
I am by no means offended. I have to admit I laughed a few times
during this. A couple of the bits were really funny. The George of
the jungle thing and the Jim Carrey thing and the Homer "urge to
kill" thing were all REALLY good. I may have to post this on my
RGAC homepage just for the hell of it. [grins]
Have a nice day all you FFML people out there.
Respect,
