I never get the time to post these days. The comment I made about
posting Ranma fiction on the FFML and RAAC these days was in
response to a number of posts I've seen complaining about how there
is too much Ranma fanfiction, and there should be more fiction
about X (usually DBZ or Sailor Moon, sometimes EVA. That seems
to be having an effect on authors, as more and more authors
declare that they are 'retiring' from Ranma fanfiction (why do they
say this. Sure, write about other series, but why say that you
will never write for a series again. Maybe you'll want to in a
few years time. I never see such comments made about any other
series, and there's FAR more Pokemon, DBZ and Sailor Moon fiction
around than Ranma, although not on RAAC)
Last month Ranma fiction made up ~30% of the traffic on RAAC. Still
a lot, but it's been declining month on month, and I see no reason
why the decline should stop any time soon. This is an absolute
decline as well, the total traffic on RAAC has not changed
significantly.

Choices:
I've seen a number of people asking about this fic and where it can
be found. Well, why not check out my index for information if you
need to find a fic. At www.tass.org/ranmalst.txt or at 
www.mnementh.demon.co.uk/ranmalst.txt. It says this about Choices..

Ranma and Akane go to a party. Once there they split up, and Ranma has
some
trouble with a jerk who splashes him with water and insults his manhood.
He's
promised Akane that he wouldn't fight, but eventually it becomes
impossible
to ignore the insults. Just as Akane turns up as well. Things get worse
and
worse, and soon Ranma's world changes forever.

It is indeed a very good story, if very sad. Ranma's life is basically
screwed and leaving to find a new life for himself somewhere else is
about his only option, it seems to me. Akane doesn't really want him
around any more, and nor does anyone else. I, too, would LOVE to see
Sayuri getting her just deserts :-). Go on, dump her, Hiroshi. And get
some backbone while you are about it...
Going to be a long wait for part 4 though, Mike Noakes writes about
1 part per year of this. He did say (in response to my C&C on part 3)
that he'd try to get the next part out faster, but then he went and
started that new series of his :-) (Let the Curtain Fall)

Doco CD's and other Ranma cds. Easy enough to get hold of legit
copies of these. I got Doco first and second from AnimeNation over
the internet. Along with the Calendar CD, and quite a few others.
Kagayaku Sora to Kimi no Koe (A Glittering Sky and Your Voice) is
track 4 on Doco Second. Nice song.
