February Ranma Only Poll 2023 (Patreon)

Hey folks.  Sorry this took so much longer.  My time this February will not be my own for large chunks, and it took days to figure out everything. GRAGGGG.

Anyway, I have finished the next chapter for Horse, it is off to Hiryo for editing.  I have gotten the latest chapter of Magic back.  I should have it up by Monday evening.  I also finished one more scene for ATP, so it looks like I should be able to get it out here on Patreon by the end of February.  Several scenes are still fighting me even in the planning stage, which is not a good sign.  

ATP is part of the reason why this is a Ranma only poll.  It is also why this will be the only poll in February.  Remember when I said Fate Touched was one of the few stories I could finish and have up by the Super Bowl (12th)? Well... I also wrote out that chapter's only two combat scenes.  

Does it say something about me that combat scenes come to me so easily, when other types of scenes sometimes don't?  ...Best not to think about it.

So yeah, that's going to happen.  So my HP fans will get ATP and Fate in February.  So that leaves one story slot for my Ranma fans... unless I can finish a Semblance of Hope episode.  Not promising anything there. 

Thus my Ranma fans are getting a choice of multiple Ranma fics.  Yes, Stallion of the Line is here.  If it wins, I will update it as per normal over on fanfic. If one of the patron only fics is updated it will show up here.  

This poll will run until the 12th.  

The choices are:

Climbing Together – Street Fighter/King of Fighters/Ranma crossover: The group travel south with their burden of a middle-aged, no longer gone to seed Soun. Alas, Weepy Man wakes up eventually, and the drama of the three (?) Tendos continue. Mai and Ranma have a moment, Mai and Shampoo commiserate, Natsume tries to decide if she’s interested in Ranma to the amusement of some and annoyance of others.  Another redhead is met, and Soun decides its his turn to put his foot in it, creating a family reunion that no one is prepared for. The group, still with their prisoner, arrive at the Shiranui dojo. Andy makes an ass of himself, Ranma picks a fight. Afterward, Mai debates between wedding lingerie or nurse outfit, with neither working. Arguments abound, and a ultimatum is given. Heart to hearts occur, Soun decides to man up as Andy decides not to. Shampoo and Ranma have some us time, Mai realizes something, and the two martial artists are joined by a third as they once more hit the road.

Making Waves – Ranma/Fairy Tail Crossover. Exploring the innards of a ancient robot proves to be far more boring than anyone really expected, pointing to a stunning revelation that makes Gajeel very happy indeed. The party stays there for a time at Ranma’s behest, using it as a safe zone as they go out and train, spar or fight the local wildlife. Turns out giant robots were not made to just stomp on human-sized opponents. But this simply means there’s good training to be had, at least according to Ranma. The group separates along natural lines, while back in Fiore, Lisa and Anna make a gleeful announcement causing Erza to leap to a conclusion and deal with the resulting information in a calm, adult manner… *snort*.  At the same time, Wendy meets a princess with dream trouble, and Seliah proves that no, she is not a great believer in kings and nobles. Weeks turn into months as the adventurers explore ever further away from their makeshift home before discovering the next big discovery: an ancient city, still standing, but with odd, very large, destroyed zones within it. Exploring the new city becomes their goal, only for them to run into the city’s sole, quite fiery, resident.

Stallion of the Line– Ranma/One Piece Crossover: As Raffy, Makino and Brook make themselves comfortable (if a cat in a room full of dogs could be called comfortable) aboard Gion’s ship, Rayliegh makes his way back to his hideout, and Sentomaru goes hunting pirates. Robin, Boa and the rest of the combined crew move the Everlasting Resolve deeper into the lower numbers, hiding it away with camouflage, before Hachi, Boa, Nami and Robin make their way back to Shakky’s bar. Revelations are shared all around, and Rayliegh agrees to do his part. He heads to the ship to start, meeting Franky on the way, who begins his own work for a temporary (for him anyway) ship for the Kuja Pirates. While this is going on, now former Vice Admiral Garp is thrown into a jail cell several doors down from his other Grandson in Impel Down. As Blackbeard and his ally/tool/boss (really depends on who is asking) laugh, Garp tells his tale and Gion’s ship reaches Enies Lobby. Some protocols are called into question, but eventually the Gates of Justice open, and Gion’s ship continues, followed under the waves by the Everlasting Resolve.
