I'm not so bothered by it with Skysaber most of the time, simply because most of the time, the story just stays away from Akane most of the time. (And she even gets some good lines in Astrild's Restaurant! Which I'd also really like to see more of.) Besides, most of my favorite stuff of his doesn't say too close to any of the Ranma universe...
Metroanime on the other hand tends to get on my nerves a lot more, because he just doesn't seem to be able to get away from it. Of course, then in Retake, he ends up getting along quite well with her, sometimes to his dismay... He's also high on my list of "makes their SI too depressing". It's kind of annoying, because overall I *like* his writing... he just keeps going down paths that bother me. Or he did; been even longer since I've seen anything from him than from Skysaber.
Back to Shampoo's Revenge, I actually like the silly AUish stuff better. It stays interesting, and "bad things happen to people who make Ranma's life hard" gets just as boring as "bad things happen to Ranma". (The actual canon is rarely that simple.) And "Glistening Firebrand" is one of the funniest things I've seen in quite a while.

"Yep. Popcorn?"
