Looking for older Ranma fics

[Soutern Cross]

For other lost fics you might want to try out The Vanished FanFic
Archive."There's only one kind of monster that uses bullets"-Colonel VanHeusen , from "It! The Terror From Beyond Space"

And for an encore,may I present the first four chapters of Darren Steffler's Twisted Path."There's only one kind of monster that uses bullets"-Colonel VanHeusen , from "It! The Terror From Beyond Space"

Man that's nostalgic. Read a little bit of it and yeah... very, very nostalgic. Feels a bit like re-reading the old core UF. Come to think of it, I think
randomly wandering links from Twisted Paths was how I found UF in the first place. Though I can remember for the life of me how. Gryphon didn't
particularly like Ranma if I remember, though I guess the anime fanfic writing community was really quite small back then.

Also, completely random, why _is_ fanficiton.net called the pit of voles anyways?

After digging around a bit I found an entry on The urban dictionary claiming it started on the TWoP Forums, adding that into the google gave me the following:

Q: What the heck is the 'Pit of Voles'?
A: The Pit of Voles is a nickname for fanfiction.net (another, less common one, is 'the Walls of Flesh'). I first saw it used by the ficbitches, but I am told that the very first ever appearance of it is archived here, in the ex-blog of tsukikoushi. I think the rationale behind it is something like since an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters will eventually give you Shakespeare's plays, then whatever the writers in the pit are, they aren't monkeys.

It makes sense.
On a side note, wikipedia redirects 'pit of voles' to the fanfiction.net page, but offer no explanation of why.
