"Ranma: The Only Constant" by mojack

2010-12-26T17:07:00.000-05:00

Senshi: Sailor Sun
Chapters: 5
Summary: Here's the FF.net entry: "Ranma needs a vacation from his daily hell, and where else but Juuban would the chaos bound martial artist go?". And the cliches and tropes just keep coming. Thin characters and poorly written gags and intrusive authors notes that are required for understanding a scene.

Hat tip: Dumbledork

2010-12-04T01:04:00.000-05:00

Senshi: Sun or Solaris
Chapters: 4

Summary: Ranma is born a girl but ends up being turned a guy, but at Jusenkyo she is cured and able to take her role as a Princess, with the help of the Amazons. A bit clumsy in execution and Ranma seems to be rather muted.

Hat Tip: Dumbledork

"Fission" by HomerNet

2010-10-12T20:05:00.000-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Moon
Chapters: 8 (part2)

2010-10-04T06:47:00.000-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Saturn
Chapters: 6

Summary: (Rated M) Ranma is undercover as a nurse and befriends a weak girl. Dialog is a bit wooden and clumsy, scenes feel rather rushed. Could get a bit better with more revision and experience.

Hat Tip: Dumbledork

2010-10-03T19:49:00.001-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Terra
Chapters: 8
Summary: Sailor Moon removes Ranma's curse but leaves her female. Now permanently a girl, Ranma must find Sailor Moon again to tell her how badly she screwed up. An enjoyable take on a classic setup. Worth a read.

Hat Tip: Dumbledork

"Usagi's Past Life" by sara t. fontanini

2010-10-01T21:28:00.000-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Moon
Chapters: 10
Summary: Usagi used to be Ranma, explanation and characterization is sorely lacking. Painfully short chapters at under a thousand words each.

Hat Tip: Dumbledork

"Fated Pasts, Chaotic Future" by Konsaki

2010-09-12T18:52:00.000-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Terra
Chapters: 11

Summary: A continuation and authorized rewrite Louis-Philippe Giroux's "Lines of Destiny". It follows the plot of the original but fleshes out the details and takes a slightly different cast on events. An enjoyable retelling of a classic. Give it a read.

"Galactic Senshi" by AshK and Emma Iveli

2010-08-22T03:20:00.000-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Phobos
Chapters: 17

Senshi: Serenity Momma?
Chapters: 12

Summary: Ranma is the mother for the rebrith of Serenity. Grows and gets some powers. Seems like a fun pregnant Ranma-chan fic. Good to see this one updated.

Hat tip: Dumbledork

2010-06-30T23:37:00.000-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Pluto

Summary: Ranma meet spring of drowned prophetess. Readers meet a writer that tries, but is quite new. So be warned.

"As They Weren't As They Were" by k'tar

2010-06-05T17:19:00.002-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Moon
Chapters: 13
Summary: This is the actual description the... writer put up. "What if Ranma and Akane were scouts? And what if the scouts couldn't find the moon princess? What if the moon princess wasn't Serena?"

Yeah, redundant you'll find that in the story itself, and poor spelling and capitalization, and tiny chapters.

Hat tip: Dumbledork

"Sailor Goddess" by mykon1

2010-05-22T16:00:00.001-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Terra
Chapters: 22 + Epilogue
Summary: Sequel to "Nodoka's Lessons" where the Tendos and Saotomes became "swingers" with... each other. Apparently there's less lemon in this version, and Senshi too.

Warning Adult content.

"Tough Luck" by AshK

2010-05-05T00:01:00.000-04:00

2010-02-06T17:03:00.000-05:00

Senshi: Sailor Aquarius
Chapters: 20

Summary: There's another group of Senshi. The Zodiac Senshi were tricked and their transformation items were scattered. Light in style and a bit lacking in descriptions but fairly fun.
A commentator was nice enough to inform me that this is a collaboration fic Kwakerjak took over halfway through chapter 12

Senshi: Sailor Neptune
Chapters: 49
Summary: There's no Michiru, and Ranma gets on with his/her life and finds a certain motorcycle racer. Fun start, and has a good slow-building pace. Worth a read.

"Sirens Calling" by WarGiver

2009-02-09T18:42:00.000-05:00

Senshi: Sailor Siren
Chapters: 17

Summary: Girl's Bravo Crossover. Ranma goes to the hidden moon. Then comes back to Earth. Good story. Chapter 17 can be found on the Fukufics C&C forum here.

Insert Sailor Moon! by dswynne

2009-01-21T19:28:00.003-05:00

Senshi: Sailor Moon
Chapters: 6

Summary: I can't recommend this fic. It's the standard "The Senshi get reincarnated as the Ranma cast" and it's a collection of the most contrived cliched writing. The dialog is flat and banal, the descriptions are none existent. Moreover don't let the immense profile fool you, the chapters clock in at under 2000 words each. Read it if you want to see just how bad it is.

Hat Tip: AshK

"New Lives: Galactic Guardians" By AshK and Emma Iveli

2009-01-04T13:55:00.002-05:00

Senshi: Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Phobos

Summary: Crossover between New Lives R and Galactic Guardians. Have not read it yet myself.

"Minako: A Life Renewed" by Mike Koos

2008-12-26T05:11:00.003-05:00

Senshi: Sailor Venus
Chapters: 1

Ranma ends up younger, blonder, locked, and after an accident has her memories gone too. She's adopted and I suppose you can guess her new name.

From Koos' notes.

"One of the ideas tossed about on the Project's mailing list
involved Minako; after the end of Stars, or some point after
that, she begins to remember that she had been someone else –
Ranma. A Life Renewed was my take on one possible beginning for
such an idea."

"Spoiled Brats" by DarkFyre99

2008-12-22T17:49:00.000-05:00

Senshi: Sailor Saturn (pseudo)
Chapters: 27

Summary: Ranma 1/2 and live-action Sailor Moon (PGSM) cross. From the writer's summary: "How can Ranma stop three spoiled brats from destroying the world?" Very fast release rate and a fun read. Note that it is updating every day for the month of November.

Most recent chapters can be found in the Fukufics.com C&C board.

2008-10-20T21:20:00.000-04:00

Summary: A Kingdom Hearts/EVA/Digimon/SM/Ranma cross. From Ellf "Yeah... probably too many crosses, but not horribly written."

Hat Tip: Ellf, AshK

"Sailor Ranko: A Love Story" by Burger Becky

2008-09-21T01:52:00.002-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Sun
Chapters: 4

Summary: Wedged between Fire's first Sailor Ranko story and Kevin Hammel's sequel "Twice in a Millennium" is this new offering by BurgerBecky. While it's good that she's posting again, it seems a bit forced to cram a story in between Fire's and Kevin's stories. Recommended for a fan of Becky's work, so far doesn't seem good for a casual or new reader. Fire's and Kevin's are better for that.

Hat Tip: J. St.C. Patrick

"Ranko, Master of the Clow" by Darkrave

2008-07-24T22:36:00.000-04:00

"Fist of the Moon" by Penguin-sa

2008-06-16T18:01:00.000-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Nightfall
Chapters: 18

Summary: Interesting fic, a slightly older and more mature Ranma ends up seeing the Senshi and helping them. Seems to have good potential. Worth giving a read. Keeps going well. It gets more recommendations the further it goes. It's now finished.

Hat Tip: LiliandraNadiar.

"Are you serious?" by Gabriels Thoughts

2008-05-22T23:44:00.003-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Moon
Chapters: 5

Summary: Ranma ends up being a magical girl, and her own animal mascot sidekick. An out there fic, rather rough in spots. Can be fun if you take it as light fare.

Hat tip: K. M.

2008-04-27T05:03:00.002-04:00

"Strangers In A Strange Land" by deathgeonous

2008-04-24T18:01:00.003-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Sol
Chapters: 2
Summary: Ranma and Kasumi are Sailors Sol and Terra. They end up in a new place and Setsuna takes care of everything. It's fairly clumsily done and is riddled with "telling not showing".

THere's also another story with Ranma as a Dark Moon, but the clothing she wears is never described.

"The Adventurs of Sailor Ranko" by Becky, Wraith, and Aakashi

2008-04-11T16:56:00.001-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Sun
Chapters: NA Weekday Update

Summary: A retelling of Becky's Sailor Ranko story, this time in comic format drawn by Wraith and Aakashi. So, if you liked the SR stories and want to see them in comic form, give it a read.

Changed to a 5 day a week update schedule.

"Half Moon" by Chronos the Cat

2008-04-03T16:58:00.003-04:00

Senshi: Sailor Moon
Chapters: 1

Summary: Just starting. A somewhat clumsily written rehash of the Canon Ranma opening. Only this time Soun's wife is alive and Nodoka is present having remarried and had kids. Has potential but seems rushed and the characters are rather flat and clichéd.

Hat Tip: Dumbledork.

"Wild Magic" by Usagi-Hasano

2008-03-14T17:29:00.002-04:00

Many thanks to Larry for keeping onto the host and figuring out what to do to get it running again.

It should work as http://fukufics.com

"Gin and Kin" by Materia-Blade

2008-03-03T17:03:00.001-05:00

Senshi: Unknown
Chapters: 5

Summary: When MB comes out and says it'll be an angst fest... you're in for a ride. Sailor Moon screws up and all the other Senshi die (maybe Hotaru lives). This isn't a spoiler, this happens right at the start. And Usagi's overwrought yet laughably unbelievably written reaction makes the angst incredibly thick, hydroelectric dam foundation thick.

There's nothing wrong with character deaths, if they're properly executed. This very clumsy. It's like clearing the deck out, and Usagi's reaction to it running from home, self-loathing, Ect. is expected and sad.

If the reader manages to go past this, new angst with Ranma awaits. The fun does not stop there. Everyone has massive and clumsy angst even Sailor Meneloth, The Senshi of Pleasure, which could have been great fun had it's execution by inept ansgst and drama.

There's been no Ranma-in-a-fuku yet, but waiting for the promised transformation may require Herculean effort.

All of Materia-Blade's works have some angst to it, but I've found this to be the most clumsy and half-hearted work by far. The characterization (normally a very strong point for MB) is disappointingly weak.

I recomend everyone to read as much as you like, but if you don't like it, only tough it out if you're a fan of MB's other works.

Update note: I have not read the latest chapter (5), given the litany of problems listed above. So I do not know if it is formally a fukufic yet

Second Update: I just read the comments to this post and wow. Be VERY careful about this fic. Read them yourself and see if you can stand it.

Hat tip: Stratagemini

Can be found on the LL forum here.

The short of it, is that while LL and FF are hosted by the same company. LL is on Amber, while FF is on Rose. While that name amuses me, Rose is a bit of a a problem child.

Also if you want the LL forum is working and is similar to the FF forum. So give it a look while you're over there.

Closure Problem

2007-12-17T17:40:00.001-05:00

Closure Problem is an odd series. Action-wise it seems to be reminiscent of StrikerS. Though this time the magical powers come from something called an "energy cascade" The cascade is a mechanism where magic from a person's unique geometry (soul) filters down and down into smaller and smaller vortices, (shown by glowing glyphs of decreasing size).

This process is how the unique geometries can be taken down to a dissipation range, where they can be used by spells common to everyone. The process is helped by "models", the expected fairy-like cute sidekicks. Stokes the main character has a brash tomboy model called Newt.

One annoyance is the use of a level system to measure power. In this case an I2 or Internal Interference. This is the difference of a user's actual performance and their actual results. Such rigamarol is common and reminiscent of Full-Metal Alchemist in offering a veneer of explanation to magical explosions.

Indeed the vastly gas-lamp world is reminiscent of this, though with more of a Victorian English hitch. Many of the names are English and references are made to prominent Lords that are masters of the energy cascade.

Despite this, the series does have its charms. Indeed the world itself has its amusements. Sir Reynolds, a main "science" advisor to the Langarian court in his waistcoat and shaggy goatee is a menial mentor that seems obsessed with the Closure Problem. Namely the means that unique geometries can interact to become universal (perhaps a not so subtle nod to an AT field), and why only some people can bond with a Model.

Reynolds is the mentor to Stokes, who is refreshingly mundane. A classic straight man Stokes tries to simply go about his research, but is forced by duty into intrigue.

This is where the series actually gets its interest. As expected the circumscribed, ornate, and declining Langar is opposed by the up and coming Eularia, a former Langarian colony that is mostly uninhabited wilderness. The painfully obvious American, English reference can be forgiven by the charm of the characters.

Stoke's opposite is a Eularian girl named Navier. Her model is Lorenz, who most of the time is human-sized and pretends to be her guardian. Here comes the true enjoyment of the series. The dialog is crisp and fast paced and is accompanied by a unique camera work. The Eualeain scenes have a mobile camera view that follows the characters, while the Langarians have a more static presentation.

When you get past the magical battles, it comes down to situations that the rules of society (be they Eulerian or Langarian) do not address. A quite enjoyable find.

Added: Since Pale Wolf asked. Yes there is a trap. It's not spoiling because young Duchess Tensor is far too feminine to be anything other than a cross-dresser. "Her" clothing resembles a cross between a bridal dress and the matching cake, with a complex structure of hair that could only exist in animation, and the pink... god the pink.

The expected conventions are followed and the overly demure and lacy Tensor has the strongest Model. Another fairy style like Newt, Les is refreshingly unadorned, though that may just be relative to her "mistress."

Tensor rounds out the initial relationship triangle. Physiology aside, the Duchess is a prize catch due to the connections of her family in the Langarian court. Reynolds would enjoy the political benefits to his research that a marriage between his protégé and the duchess. There are very strong reasons why Tensor is well... Tensor.

Tensor's "secret" gives Stokes the potential for blackmail, but once they are engaged it would ruin him as much as her. He could flee to Euleria, but that has issues with Navier. Tensor for her part would find Stokes a perfect cover to add legitimacy to her situation, and leverage for her own dreams of power and a way to escape her family.

So Stokes rapidly gets the expected multiple suitors. Though both the gas-lamp magical-cowgirl tomboy and the elegantly coifed "lady" are after him for political reasons. The Eulerian cannot take him without starting a war, (given the extreme value and rarity of working Models), while the Langarian has to make herself seem an appealing prospect, difficult given what Stokes knows.

Edit2: Since it was asked here's Duchess Tensor Kolmolgorov's situation. It's a bit convoluted and pretty spoilery. So don't read unless you really want to know.

First the background to explain it: twenty years ago a Langarian Queen was petitioned with a problem. To many families in the court were loosing their lands, as the required dowries had been slowly concentrating lands and money to fewer and fewer hands.

The Queen, preferring a broad feuding court that she could veto, but not wanting to do away with the taxable dowries came up with a solution. Money and titles would follow along patriarchal lines, but land would follow maternal.

Tensor was the youngest at 13 and had an older sister and a much older brother, who was married to a Eulerian woman. was keen and into sport. Showed promise to be able to use a Model. Then two tragedies befell the Kolmogorov's. Duke Andre and his daughter Ivanova died in an accident. Without a male figure the family could not make another daughter.

So, after her husband's death, the elder Duchess came forward and admitted a grave sin. That they had lied about the gender of one of their children to get around the inheritance. The duke was worried that his son Pavel would defect to Eleria negating their funds, so he forced Tensor pretend to be a boy.

After her apology the elder duchess revealed Tensor to the court and queen, and begged forgiveness. The queen agreed, and declared Tensor to be a prime example of Langarian womanhood.

This is why Tensor is... Tensor. Including the curled piles of shocking pink. She is a woman because the Queen said so. The biology is just a bit of an oversight, and why she is so keen on getting Stokes. Mindful of her shameful past, she makes sure no one would mistake her for a boy again, and revels in being herself.
