Dead Fics I'd Love To See Revived
Another Eva fic
#51
Paradise Lost by Andy Kent. It's a Ranma/Eva cross, but unlike others, Ranma isn't the one in the Shinji role. It's Ryoga.

Given the bit about "it'll be 2005 before [Viz translates a certain Ranma tankoubon volume]", I'd guess the 1/13 update doesn't mean 1/13/2006, now, does it?

Tenchi World Tour
#53
Every Journey Begins With a Single Step by Aviator.
Tench goes on a world tour, training with a number of other sword fighters his grandfather knows.
It's Tenchi and Ryoko, which is fine by me.
Ryoko becomes a little too Uber towards the end, picking up skills instantly. The other girls are paired off with original characters a bit too easily.
And yet the fic is just starting to pick up speed and show signs of going somewhere interesting when it cuts off. It hasn't been updated since 2003, despite the author's pledge in his profile to finish his fanfics.

Bluefurball's When Bakas Learn is one semi-super Ranma fic I'd really like to see continued - which hasn't happened since 2003. As a short description... Hm.
Ranma comes up with the concept his father probably would have called The Way of the Observant Thief and uses it to steal Mousse's hidden weapons style's massive weaponspace technique, then makes variations. Then, he gets into some trouble, and the fic stops.
Come to that, I'd like to see our own Aleh continue Reflection again sometime - any progress on that lately?
- CDSERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
Dr. Akagi will recover. Observe, Rei smiled. Shinji-kun, are these your clothes?
Ritsuko shot up like a spring loaded meerkat. What? Shinji-kun is naked?
See, Anata? Dr. Hentai is alive and well. - Innortal's _I Do_

Oh yeah. That's another one I lost to the hard drive crash at work a year or so back and forgot about completely. Really, really good, what there is of it, and I still want to find out what's going on with the OMG xover elements.

Meanings Of Life by Kuraiko Kurohoshi
A Ranma/SM Crossover Generator Challenge fic, in which "god-mod" doesn't mean quite what you think.

Tenchi and Ranma Together Forever by T.H. Tiger.
Most fics where Ranma is locked in girl form and engaged to a boy fill me with disgust. However, Ranma isn't taking the engangement seriously in this, just biding his time until he finishes the next stage of training. I also don't have trouble with Ranma getting in touch with his feminine side, provided it is a slow, gradual process.
In any case, the characterization and humor in this fic are marvelous. I am also a sucker for this type of plot structure. We have multiple groups, each operating with limited information, slowly converging. The anticipation of waiting for these groups to finally meet always seems to draw me into a fic set up this way.
On that note: Stallion by Chas Chas has just that sort of plot structure and like the fic above, cuts off just as the different groups are about to start comapring notes. Ranma himself is rather dull in this fic, switching between clueless and a God-Mode alternate personality based on a past life, but all the other characters, drawn from other series, are entertaining. And as I said, I'm a sucker for that plot structure.
An while I'm at it, here is Children of Fire by Bailesu, a very comprehensive Sailor Moon and Ranma crossover.

John -is- still out there, and still writing...
He's just got ten thousand things going on at once, including DM'ing a couple of games.
I also have to recommend his Children of an Elder God. What do you get when you replace the Dead Sea Scrolls with the Necronomicon? You get a very very scary Ayanami Rei.--

On the subject of anoyance, was that because of the nature of the fic, or because all the fics on this thread are unfinished?

Because they are unfinished. Unfinished fics annoy and frustrate me greatly -- especially my own.

Apparently that's waiting on his co-writer. As are several other projects.
Personally, I bug him every so often about The Summer People, but he doesn't respond except to complain about how many other projects he's got going.--

One I'd Forgotten About
#64
Ebiris' A Not so Simple Wish. Here's his description from ff.net: "Ranma wishes to be free of the nyannichuan curse, but cursed objects never make things too simple. Now a permanantly female Ranma is stuck in a world where Ranma was never cursed, and the only way to return home (fully cured) is to win Ranma-kun's love."
Sadly, Ebiris hasn't updated anything since 2003, and the one time I emailed him (her?) about the prospects for adding to A Not so Simple Wish, I got a rather rude message back. So I'm pretty sure this one is very permanently dead.

I think it may be time to add Ruskbyte's Backwards Compatible to the list; it's been exactly a year since the last chapter.

Actually, Ruskbyte updated that on fanficauthors.net/ a couple of months ago.

It's the same last chapter that fanfiction.net has, though. Two great tastes that go great together!

Ah, sorry. I stopped reading it on fanfiction.net once he moved to fanficauthors.net
