Ranma in El Hazard

I'm looking for a particular story that I read many a year ago, where Ranma ends up in El Hazard. I believe that it was a Ranma-chan story, where she met at least one of the priestesses and was taken under her wing.

I haven't been able to find many El Hazard crossovers to begin with, so taking a buckshot at the stories you know of will be fine. I looked around before resorting to this request, and I didn't find the story I'm looking for listed in the crossover section of the Penultimate Ranma Fanfic Index, I didn't see it in the crossover section of Lady Cosmos, I didn't see it in the misc./multiple section of Ranmafics, and a crossover section over at FF.net doesn't exist. Beyond digging through the Ranma 1/2 section at FF.net, I don't know where else I might find it.

Sounds like the El Hazard portion of Ranma's Travels, one of Ammadeau's stories.

Now to find the original (FFML?) versions somewhere in my archives... ^_^;;

That's the one. Thanks! (Too bad it wasn't continued... I wonder why. ;/)

That author stopped all work on their stories to concentrate on original works... do not know what became of that though. Eventually the fanfiction writtenw as regulated to a subpage, and later gone officially.

Same author wrote 2 versions of 'Will You Be My Fiancee'. I love that story. Expecially the partial chapter snippet in the main version where Kasumi arrives at his home and Ranma's mother comes to conclusions.

A larger version of 'Ranma's Travels' can be found here:

I cannot remember whether that version I linked is larger than the old 7 chapter version I read way back when it was still new.

EDIT: Just checked, same content. or at least the last scene is same in both. I did not bother with a binary compare. It looks just all crammed into one file.

The original version I read, years ago (from the FFML?) had a less-developed El-Hazard section, but it was in multiple parts with different arcs/hops of Ranma's 'travels' - with crossovers into Tenchi, Doctor Who, Sailor Moon, etc.

The fanfiction.net version doesn't include those additional parts; I'd forgotten about that. It's understandable, but I probably still have to find the original versions in my archives. ^_^;

Either way, I appreciate having access to the longer version. I'm not sure if I read it before or not.

Ummm... I gave the link. my old copy from the old old website 7 chapters... link points to what seems the same but lumped in one large file.

I know you did. XD The appreciation was meant for you. I tried starting with "either way" to bypass Makoto's post so I didn't have to quote a large block of text from yours. Yeah, I could have done something better, but my brain does not always run as efficiently as it should during certain times (that of being tired and hungry... which is a more normal occurrence than I'd like.)
