One of my favorites. Really great author.

FF.N Summary:
Ranma Saotome is the sole living heir to the Saotome school of martial arts. Living the life of a nomad, she wanders from town to town; seeking answers to questions she does not know how to ask, wielding a power she cannot fully understand.


Summary from the Author's site:

Ranma Saotome is the sole living heir to the Saotome school of martial arts.

Upon his death, her father gave her the family sword and the family obligation; in the years since, her life has been dedicated to her promise to her father. It is a promise she does not understand nor know how to keep, a responsibility whose weight she could not hope to comprehend when it was placed upon her shoulders.

Her father gave her more than a sword and a quest; she knows at least that much. There is a dark strength deep within her that was given to her the day her father died. It grows every day, driving her onwards to seek out the next challenge, the next opportunity to learn and improve her skill.

She has no ties, no friends, no family. Nothing but the promise. A promise to keep the Saotome family line strong.

Living the life of a nomad, she wanders from town to town; seeking answers to questions she does not know how to ask, wielding a power she cannot fully understand, seeking a girl who may or may not still be alive.

The girl's name is Akane Tendo, and she is in danger. Ranma has sworn upon her father's life to protect her and will go to any length to keep her safe.

Those who would stand in Ranma's way also grow stronger with every passing day, but have always lagged behind her on her journey to the peak of perfection. That journey is drawing to a close. Perhaps, Ranma will understand the price of perfection before that journey is over.

Her father did not tell her of all of the promises he made ....

Ten or RAALS? In any case I agree with you... BTW like I said I'm attempting to write a Ranma story and a Sailor Moon crossover story can you recommend any writing resource for both series?

Ten.

What resource do you need? Ranma manga, sailormoon manga, or fiction I liked of crossovers of the two.

If you want fiction that are cross overs of the two which genre? Silver Millenium or present day Japan?

I prefer Akane being alive instead of Ranma being paired off with another senshi myself so those are the fics that I'll recommend if ever.

I've only ever been acquainted with the Ranma anime but I know some elements about the manga, so I guess it'd have to be the manga. Oh, and if you have some crossovers of I'd love to read it.

I know what I want to do with the story its the *how* that's tripping me up.

You and me both. I'm an Akane fan myself and really do prefer Akane having a more active role in fights. It's a lot harder to find well written Ranma stories that have Akane helping out in a fight, much less being treated as a serious martial artist.

OK, I'll upload Ranma manga for you. It will take a while though. The first 12 volumes will take 2 1/2 hours to upload.

As for the fics, I'll get back to you on that. I have a couple of Sailormoon x Ranma crossovers which I like. Some of them Ranma and Akane don't end up being together, but that just means the author is so good I'm willing to let go of my fave pairing.

By the by send me a link to your story and I'll read it. :p

Oh and tell me when you've read mine. I'm a review whore.

Oh, gosh! Wow, thanks!

I'd love to share my story with you, I hope you don't mind if its in the Sailor Moon variety too... I don't know why but I really do like the idea of Sailor Moon crossing over to other fandoms.

I'm making my way through your story, I've just finished chapter 4... I was wondering where you based Rendevous with fate on?

How was the manga? Have you started reading? Comment when you take so that I know when the files were downloaded from. (The links have a 45 day inactivity expiry so it would be a shame if you couldn't download them within 45 days of the original upload.
