Yes well, Genma has already apparently abandoned Ranma.  I wasn't going to 
have both parents turn their backs on her.  Genma will be back to cause 
trouble later

Easy is boring.

An interesting story is one that has conflict and difficulty in it.
Read a romance novel and you'll note that the loving couple doesn't get
together harmoniously and wander around as various people applaud their
relationship, tell them how good they look together, and give them gifts
of lingerie and kitchen appliances. Fanfic authors often make the mistake
of making things easy for the characters when they should be straining
their brains to make life as difficult as possible for them right up until
the happy ending.


Apparently, you haven't been reading too closely.  Soun is barely tolerating 
this. As I said before Genma has run off.  He will be causing conflict 
later.  Not to mention the other fiances when they find out about this.  
Consider also, that at the moment nobody but the rest of the family knows 
about the change in Ranma and Akane's relationship.  I never said there 
wouldn't be any conflict.

However, the primary flavoring of the Ranma series is comedy, which I will 
be trying to adhere to.  I don't really like the angsty stuff and try not to 
write that way.  If you don't like what I'm doing with this, you don't have 
to read the story.
