2. A member of the cast does or is made to do
something differently than the original storyline.
Examples: Ranma does not find Shampoo while looking
for the memory-restoring shampoo. Kunou's first challenge to the "pig-tailed
girl" really *is* a challenge rather than a "declaration to date."
Any deviation that occurs (more or less) within the story's
original timeline. This is where it can drift into that "grey area"
Would the cast's early childhood be considered
part of the original timeline? How about their pre-Jusenkyou teenage years?
That grey area depends on the reader. Personally, I think the answer to both those questions is yes, as far as events that directly affect them are concerned. World-affecting events (a deadly plague for example) would still make in an Alterverse
But it all still comes down to the reader. : )

Synopsis: The sixteen year old Akane from the
Ranma universe we are familiar with somehow ends up in the 'Ranma's Girls'
universe. There, she discovers an older, more mature version of the Ranma
she once knew. She also finds out Ranma have kids, and they already know
her, yet she doesn't know them. She realizes that she doesn't belong here
and must go back to her own world. But as time progress, and she starts
spending time with the older Ranma, the thought of going back slowlys starts
to ebb away. Why is she hesitating? This isn't the Ranma she fell in love
with. Not unless she's falling in love with one. Basically, it's a spin-off
of my 'Ranma's girls' story. You don't need to read the first story to
understand this. Just take everything as a given, and everything would
be soon revealed.

out by now, is an alterniverse story that has a multifold 'what if?' premise;
that is, not only one 'what if?' question is being answered. For the sake

but since I've received a couple of compliments that the events were somewhat
original, I'll trust that I won't bore you too horribly. ;)
