Updated 1/22/01. Yippy Skippy, the update! Mike is on Hiatus and Susan was eaten by dingos, but Alan has churned out lots of new material. Due to his recent lobotomy, he is only capable of writing Utena. And, after exactly 2713 query letters (yikes!) I fixed the broken link for the Varaiyah Cycle. Please dont be mad if I didn't write back; I was getting upwards of four of them a day. ^_^;;; Can I put off a job or what? -ML

Finished Works:
| Ill Met By Starlight | by Mike L. and Susan Doenime | Events happen a little differently, and the Ranma Saotome who shows up at the Tendo's is far from the heroic fellow we're used to. Some have, in fact, found him to be the villain of the series... [DARK/PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER] | |

| The Varaiyah Cycle | by Mike L. | Akane cooks with Cologne's spices, Kasumi and Nabiki sample something they shouldn't, Shampoo and Kodachi discover something in common, and yet another Generic Chinese Warlord puts in an appearance. A slapstick series without a dark bone in its body, formerly known as the Nameless Saga. [LIGHT COMEDY] | |

Including, as it turns out, the residents of a certain dojo in Nerima. Read on as the Tendos, Saotomes, and assorted others write a round-robin story of Bubblegum Crisis.

| Smoke and Mirrors | by Mike L. | After a bomb levels the Tendo Dojo, Kasumi races through and against time to save everything she holds dear. Not a very light story, and not very easy on Kasumi. A tale of sacrifice and redemption. [DARK/PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA] | |

| Simulacram | by Alan Harnum | Simulacrum, n. (pl. -ra). Image of something;
shadowy likeness, deceptive substitute, mere pretence. [f. L simulare
(similis like)] [DRAMA/WEIRD] |
|
| Silent Partner | by Mike L. | Nabiki chats with Ranma. Originally done in script as part of Nameless 2, rewritten as soon as the author realized he had just written a dark scene into a slapstick comedy. [ANGST] | |
| Quixote | by Susan Doenime | After a mysterious attack, Ranma wakes up to find his world subtly changed. An ancient legend offers hope, but will the way home be as easy - or as difficult - as he thinks? [MYSTERY] | |

| Closing Time | by Mike L. | Ranma and Akane get married. And the rest of Nerima gathers at Ucchan's to, er, celebrate. Sort of. Based on and incorporating the Leonard Cohen song by the same name. [HUMOR/ANGST] | |
| Ghost Story | by Mike L. | Several decades after the events of the manga, Nerima has pretty much settled down into a normal community. Or has it? A red-haired ghost sends two Furinkan students plunging into a web of lies, betrayal, and murder that stretches back to 1998... [MYSTERY] | |
| Hand of Glory | by Alan Harnum | What if someone offered you all that you desired, all that you wanted on the earth? And what kind of price would you have to pay?[SUPERNATURAL] | |
| Faithful Departed | by Mike L. | A piece written for Chris Willmore's Ranma 2096 series, touching on the aspect of Mr. Willmore's story that always hit me the hardest. Either depressing or uplifting, depending on who you ask. [R2096/REQUIEM] | |
| Daigakusei No Ukyou #7 | by Mike L. | So one day David Tai asks Mike to do a DnU episode. Mike agrees... and flounders around for a plot. Hmm... time to get out that John Woo tribute fic idea... [HUMOR] | |
