It's on Sufficient Velocity, but hasn't been updated for a year or so.

Dungen Keeper Ami -- it even got a shout-out in Isekai by Moonlight as something Ami should read while in the Lyrical universe.

EDIT: Half-ninja'd, in that I'm the first to post the link.

Originally on the Anime Addventure before it died, now on SV (maybe SB, I don't know), last update was May 2021.
The thread itself is still semi-active.

Probably Dungeon Keeper Ami, then. Started on the Addventure, now been posted to SV/SB.

Anybody want to claim it's not Dungeon Keeper Ami? No one? Good.

That settled, I'd dispute its inclusion as "old school", especially as it's been an active as recently as a year ago.

There was another, though all I really recall about it was Ami being the MC and the author's note saying it was inspired by DKA but they wanted to do a darker take on the concept, because Evil finds a way.

You may be thinking of a branch on the Anime Addventure? I seem to recall there were several early branches, but most didn't last long.

Heee. I apparently hit the 'Linux *can't* do this...' level of response, unwittingly. And hmm. I may have to take the time to re-read through.

Right, back to the old school. This one's almost old enough to vote.

I have no idea whether Bob read this before starting DW-S, but he totally could have.

Huh. Nope, never seen that before, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oh, yes, that's one of the great crossovers.

(12-28-2023, 02:05 PM)Bob Schroeck Wrote: Okay, here's one I just dug up and reread for the first time in ten or twenty years:  Jim Bader's A Tale of Two Wallets.  Late 1990s-vintage Ranma-centric megacrossover (I identified nearly twenty different works, either as major parts or cameos, and I'm sure there are more that went right past me because I was unfamiliar with them and didn't recognize them).  Worth a look.  Sorta-kinda finished?  The main story seems to conclude properly, but there's an incomplete epilogue/sequel tacked onto the end of it, which is unlikely to ever be finished as I seem to recall that Bader passed away some years ago.

Anyway, you can find it on MediaMiner here, or on Fanfiction.net here (link goes to chapter 2, because chapter 1 is actually a genealogy full of spoilers).

Ah, that brings up some memories.

AToTW was loosely affiliated with a multi-author collective of Ranma fics from the early 2000s known as "The Altered Destinies." One of them--A Scary Thought (once the engagement is made, Genma tries to dump Ranma on the Tendos to raise, and Soun, suspecting his friend of laziness, insists Genma raise one of his daughters in exchange--in this case, Kasumi)--is still ongoing and would probably not count as old school, but most of the rest are either complete or long dead.

That includes A Very Scary Thought (another work by Bader--same premise as A Scary Thought, but with Nabiki instead of Kasumi), Switching Heirs (similar premise, but with Gendo raising Ukyo and Ranma staying with his mother), Most Unlikely of Friends (early meeting and friendship between the Tendo Family and the Chinese Amazons) and others.

... I find it unlikely it'd be Gendo raising Ukyo, but crossovers happen.

Eh, bad father, bad father, what's the difference? Smile

But yeah, typo on my part. Almost every Altered Destiny story is a megacrossover, but they don't start that soon.

I don't believe it was actually one of the Altered Destinies stories, but Aondehafka's White Rose had a very similar feel.

I'm kicking myself for forgetting this one.

Sailor Moon: Millennials, one of the last major fics from the early 2000s era where the English SM fandom was centered around the archive/message board "A Sailor Moon Romance," and one of the most ambitious SM fanfics ever, regardless of era--separate elaborate concurrent plotlines for all nine Senshi, Chibi-Usa, various love interests, and both cats, with quality writing and a staggering amount of foreshadowing.

Sadly, both ASMR and the author's own site have been down for over a decade at this point, but the story is still available through the Wayback Machine, and some kind soul has posted a copy to AO3 as well.

The BIG Wish

Sailor Moon anime timeline, after "Stars". Usagi makes a casual wish at exactly the right... or wrong... time for the Silver Crystal to grant it, at least temporarily. Now she's a 16-year-old girl in a 21-year-old woman's body, and eager to take her relationship with Mamoru to the next level. In anyone else's hands, this would be a lemon. In the hands of Lilac Summers, it's a farce... and everybody remains in character for the entire story. Rated PG-13.

Complete in seven chapters.
