This isn't totally the proper place, but I did want to make just one comment.
The problem with Akane is the series she comes from is a slapstick comedy, and a lot of fanfic writers don't want to write that. The problem then, is that she's hard to write in a serious fashion. That is to say, if you take away her over the top (supposedly funny) violence, what kind of character is she, and how does she act? Most writers seem to be end up answering "Not much of a character at all" and deciding to just write her as she is in canon (or worse).
Except that she isn't that violent, canonically. I own about half of the series in manga form, and I've gone through it, and her violent over-reactions come at a rate of slightly less than one per volume. She is, as the mangaka depicted her, not anywhere NEAR as violent as many fanfic authors depict her.
Quote:
As to comparing Asuka and Akane, that's even easier. We know why Asuka is messed up, because of her mother. We know she was terribly traumatized by it, and now she acts the way she does.
We know no such thing about Akane, whose reason for acting like she does mostly boils down to 'the mangaka found it funny'.
Actually, we do know this. Akane also lost her mother, in tragic circumstances (probably from disease, rather than the worse situation Asuka faced, but still). The loss left her father an emotional wreck and left her with basically no life - Kasumi and Nabiki were taking care of everything for the family, so all that was left to her was to carry on the family's martial arts legacy. With her father in such bad shape, however, she had no one to really learn from, which is why her skill level is so far below Ranma's.--

This is a crossover not even my twisted mind would imagine:
" An excessively random encounter" by JoanieTB. It is, in fact, a very brief crossover between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ghastly's Ghastly Comic (description here).

Court Martial
06-19-2007, 01:59 AM
Something I found leading off another recommended fic...
It's an older fic, but I didn't see any previous mention of it (but my search-fu has been shown to be weak).
Court Martial
The FF.net summary
Blockbuster was murdered ... and Nightwing was "involved". What happens when the superhero community finds out.
A VERY good fic in my opinion.

Damn you. Because of you, I've lost entirely too much time hooked on that ridiculously good fic, and I'm not even a fan of DC comics.

Drakensis, you didn't tell us about the delightful Naruto one-shot you posted on your FFN page last week, " A Calculated Legacy." To the rest of you, go check it out.

" Harry Potter and the Evil Summer Vacation" by Meteoricshipyards. A very funny one-shot in which Harry is accidently sent to an Evil Overlord convention.

One of the funniest fics I've ever read, and also one of the best portrayals of female characters in Naruto. It's currently undergoing revision, 'new' chapters can be found here: eimii.wordpress.com/

Couple's therapy
Noncrossover Ranma whiplash crack. There are bits of it that are only as cracky as normal Ranma. Then there are the other bits - and the mood of the thing *ricochets*.
It's also really, really good. The only actual faults I can see are a couple of cases of moderate character bashing and the fact that it's unfinished. We get most of the major plotlines mostly complete, and the major climax of the piece, but there's a chapter or two of good solid wrap-up left to go, and the last update was in '04.
EDIT: Also, just so you know, it's not at all safe for work. I'd have mentioned that earlier if I'd not been so utterly sleep-depped. Apologies.

Rorschach's Blot has a new fic
07-08-2007, 10:36 PM
On his yahoo group CaerAzkaban , Rorschach's Blot, author of Make a Wish is releasing a new fic called Thief. Chapters 1-30 are in the files section and in the messages section the chapters are up to 41.
This is a very funny fic that I highly recommend.

A Ranma/Chrono Trigger cross... it's amazing what you find when you go back through old links. I remember enjoying this story, but not what it is about.
