Please take a look at the second page of this thread. The story is too long to put in this post.

The chapter seems fine to me. It might benefit from a little more involvement from Tatewaki Kuno during the final parts of the chapter, however.
I'm curious about the neighbors, will this be another crossover?

I'm guessing one of the neighbors will be a certain cosplay loving PE teacher. I wonder if you could include some cameos during the appartment search such as a room for rent at wherever Nukunuku lives, or trying a few places in Juban......

CJN: I'll give you a clue as to the name of the apartment Ranma will get. Nakayoshi Apartments

Heaven's Deamon: The different cameos while looking makes sense. I don't know if I should include the Senshi in ANOTHER fanfic of mine though :lol:

But yeah, cameos could be fun.

Well, that was fun. I can't wait to see what the finished chapter will look like though. Oh, and have you thought about puting Ranma/Shego in Love Hina? Just thought I'd ask. Heh.

While looking for apartments, what are some interesting series to crossover?

Hey- EVERYONE throws Sailor Moon into fics for no good reason. Why go against the crowd?

Good crossovers..... Why not go with some fairly obscure stuff. Perhaps have her toy with the idea of bording with a student from another school...

For example- Makoto, from My Two Wings. That would add a whole new dimension to the curse...

Or one of the guys from Tenjo Tenge. That would be nuts.

Perhaps for the food's sake she could board above a certain curry shop- the one from Addicted to Curry.

Slightly more sane options include Makoto from Sailor Moon- she lives alone, and could use the help paying rent.

I agree with Atlan's post. But how about having Shego live in Maison Ikkoku? At least, that would be a crossover with another Takahashi series. But the Hinata Sou (Love Hina) would fit really well in this story. I'd really like to see a meeting between Principal Kuno and Kaolla Su. That would be fun.

Sharing an apartment with people from other manga would be interesting too. There are so many possibilities.

I also love what you did with the sash? Excellent idea to make it possible that a piece is enough for it to work.

And I've realized that Principal Kuno would really fit well in Kim Possible as a villain.

Well, I put in a few mentionings of characters from different series while on the hunt, but I'm going with the place I had in mind a long time ago. Where Ranma's neighbors are Masako and Hinako.

The thought of having Ranma's apartment being with Makoto is an idea I find VERY hard to pass up, but I've had the Masako and Hinako idea for a long time.

Curses, Atlan, you made me indecisive! XD

Dumbledork: I know absolutely nothing about Maison Ikkoku.

Dang, now I have to go back to some heavy thinking.

I guess I could still have Masako forcefully take 'Sheila' out on a night on the town even if 'Sheila' found an apartment that wasn't where Masako lives. Masako could run into her after Ranma is walking away from her new place.

Is the place Makoto lives ever truely specified? If not, you could make it a building near the edge of Juban closest to Nerima, and make it the same building that Masako and Hinako stay at as well, perhaps Masako could even hint before hand commenting that there was a student on her floor who was a good cook, even if Ranma doesn't share an appartment with Makoto, knowing Ranma's love of food they'd still see a lot of each other living on the same floor.

That's true. Having Makoto live in the same building as Masako and Hinako could be interesting. In fact, there could be other cameos later on. It could bring a whole new life the it.

Yaha! I'm no longer indecisive!

Well, it wouldn't be that easy to do. Juuban is located in Minato Ward of Tokyo. There are two different wards between Nerima and Minato, so that couldn't work out. Although, I could do what a few others do and ignore that Nakano and Shibuya are between Nerima and Minato. Then place Nerima and Minato next to each other.

That would be kind of bad though, wouldn't it?

Of course, now you might want to determine how old the senshi are, whether this is during a season or post series (*imagines a monster of the week trying to take an item of the season from Ranma while he/she is just looking around, only to have it's rear end handed to it on a silver platter*) Also would you have Ranma actually get involved with the senshi, or (what I think fits better) background mentions of the senshi, who Ranma is to lazy to look for, while she meets Makoto's friends one or two at a time over an extended period. I'm also wondering what would happen if Kasumi came to visit Ranma and met Makoto......

Sorry about the double post, didn't see your edit, as mentioned in my previous post, there is the issue of senshi age, If you're willing to make Makoto younger and place it before the first season IIRC she had moved a few times due to being switch between schools for fighting, So you could have her in a different district before she moves to Juuban, perhaps even just before, meaning that in a later chapter she could head to Juuban and Ranma could try to keep in touch.

Another possibility would be an Older College age Makoto who's moved to be closer to whatever campus she attends.

I think background mentioning of the exploits of the Senshi would fit better as well. I just can't imagine Ranma -- with Shego merged -- would find it in him/her to actively search out monsters and help. It would make more sense for her to fight a monster if it outright attacked her. Other than that, no active searching. I can actually imagine Ranma sitting back with a bag of popcorn or some other snack and watching the scene unfold. Sometimes even laughing her/his ass off.

I forget, what was Take the Green and Go about Usagi?
