Ranma's Curse
You are visitor number
since June 9, 2000. Welcome!
[2-5-2000] A new dacade and new ideas. I've updated the version of Violations to cover some mistakes in development my prereaders pointed put. Hopefully, this will be better.
[11-1-99] Thanks to my prereaders, I now know what needs to be fixed in Memories 2. I am in the slow process of incorporating their suggestions. I hope to have them done soon.
[12-25-98] Thank you for your patience. I have finally finished the first draft of Ranma's Memories 2. This story has been the most difficult for me to write.
Of course, finishing my Master's degree and working full time didn't help with writing this either. I will continue to work on Ranma's Curse, but I will no longer try to predict the next release, other than possibly 2nd Quarter of 1999.
Enjoy the story.
[8-2-98] Thanks for the continued interest while this series is on hiatus. I'm still writing it. I am committed to finishing it, as it is a bug that has had me since last May.
Memories 2 is progressing slowly. When I first wrote this part, things didn't flow smoothly. Trying to clean them up and keep them consistent with the rest of the story (past and future) is more difficult than I anticipated.
Real life has also taken its toll on the series. I can't promise anything, but I hope to have Memories 2 available for my regular prereaders by the end of the month. Shortly after that, it should be ready for the FFML. I hope to post Memories to RAAC in early 1999.
Thanks again for your interest and support.
This is my first attempt at fanfiction. It follows an alternate world where events unfolded slightly differently. It'd be best if I let Ranma tell you about it...
Um, hi. Saotome Ranma here. This story is about me facing some really drastic changes in my life. As many of you know, my father and I went on a long training trip. We ended up in China, where we came across Jusenkyo, the Cursed Springs. I knocked Father into the Spring of the Drowned Panda. Now he turns into a panda when doused with cold water.
Me? Well, I became a girl. Um, originally, I could change with water, like Father, but things got complicated. While in China, I met, and defeated this Amazon, Xian Pu. I did it as a girl, so she chased us to Japan, trying to kill me and Father. When she came to Japan, she found out I was a man, thus tried to marry me.
Well, her great-grandmother, Khu Lon, helped her try to marry me. She managed to lock me in my female body, promising to release me if I defeated her in combat or accepted Xian Pu as my bride. Well, I was already engaged to Tendou Akane, so I couldn't marry Xian Pu. So I fought, and won. But when I fought, I used my ultimate technique, the Cat-fu, and destroyed my cure.
Ranma's Curse and its companion stories deal with how me, my family, and friends have coped with the events. I lived it, but reading this story brings back those memories in such detail...
