I can't even imagine how you could justify him building a multi-million dollar mech let alone one that's classified top secret especially since Ranma's level of education is nowhere near the task (nevermind his grades).
Which brings us to another one that bugs me. I have never read a "Ranma is a Supergenius" fic that was worth the effort of clicking the link. There might be one or two out there that are pretty good but for some reason that kind of a fic (as well as any fic where Ranma has sex, on or off screen, with a man) is just one that torpedoes my suspension of disbelief and then nukes it for good measure. Honestly, it applies to any character who isn't already depicted as a genius (or homosexual, though I'm a bit more lenient than with the genius intellect thing) in the source material.
The chapter begins with vials of unknown chemicals bubble and flow from one container to another via pipettes. We follow one particular pathway of a bluish liquid as it slowly rises in a small test-tube shaped container till it flows into the pipettes on the sides. it moves along slowly to a larger collection vial where it mixes with a green fluid and gives off a gas which rises to the top where a series of air-tight glass pipes lead it to a condensing chamber. Here it collects, along with other fluids, in a beaker filled with a now red mixture. A hand turns the stoppers, preventing any more of the liquids from being collected.
"Hello again, in case you haven't guessed this is Agent Reptile again welcoming you to the next chapter of Harry Potter and the Half Bloods." The only difference seen in the ninja's attire was a lab coat over his ninja garbs and a pair of safety goggles over his mask. Kind of stupid looking but no one really bothers to tell him. "Sorry if I am a little preoccupied but I am in the middle of an important experiment."
Placing the red fluid filled beaker on another table he sat down and used an eyedropper to add a few drops of a glowing compound to the beaker changing it's color into a pale yellow material.
"You may remember that I told you how I discovered Eluza's casket in space only to find that she was not actually dead and how it lead to the Gall Force being lycanthropes now? Well part of my wedding vows was that I would help them find others of their race and let them live their own lives on Earth. Before you ask no I am not adding to some sort of massive harem; any new Solenoids to Earth have to find their own husbands if they want. Back on topic, however, whenever we were able to find more Solenoid refugees they all faced the same problem of extensive damage to both their organ systems and their very DNA so none have been able to come out of the than as anything by lycans."
Opening a small plastic bag of animal hair he takes a pair of tweezers and adds some of the strands to the beaker. A small poof of smoke is followed by the fluid settling as it becomes a silvery reflective color. Agent Reptile takes a rubber stopper and seals the beaker before he places a piece of adhesive tape with the word "Lupos" on the side of the vial. The beaker is then placed inside a refrigerator next to a series of other similarly colored beakers with many different words written on tape. Shutting the refrigerator's door the ninja turns back to the camera.
"Unfortunately I have never been able to copy the extensive regenerative abilities of lycanthropy without having the animal nature added to it."
"And why would you want to? I thought that you loved my coat." A smiling werepantheress with blue hair asks walking into the room.
"Well...um yea I love it Patty it's just um....it's only that....uh...." Agent Reptile stutters as Patty just smiles at him letting him get more and more out of control of the situation.
"Oh you are just so fun to tease; my silly male." Patty just kisses the male on the cheek. "Since we're going to be busy for a while why don't you enjoy this next chapter of Harry Potter and the Half Bloods."
"Yea, do that..." Agent Reptile says coming out of his shocked state.
"Come on you, I need this." Patty says nearly pulling Agent Reptile's arm out as the head to a bedroom.

I mean if the author doesn't have a work outlined pretty much in it's entirety by what is supposed to be it's half way point or at least some vision of it's finish the story is just going to drag on and on...I don't get why that author put it up for a vote in the first place.

frice2000 wrote:That specific author also brings to mind another Ranma specific bone of contention. I can understand you not liking or wanting to at all focus on his curse. I think most of us on this forum can safely say our perspective to liking Ranma-chan fics is a little higher then the average fic reader but when a writer uses Ranma's and the other casts curses less then Rumiko herself did and not even have it ever be a factor in a longer story it irks me. I understand if they don't want to make it a focus but cannon indicates that they get activated at least on a semi-regular basis and when I read a story that has no mention of that plot point at all even if multiple months pass I wonder how exactly the water was avoided for so long.
