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."
Basically, 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. : )

Divergence Title: They
Shall Be One Flesh
Author: Madek
Status: Ongoing
Synopsis: One Flesh was first written by Thomas
Schmidt. Unfortunatly he has moved on to other things and never finished
the story. I liked the idea of the story, "What if Ranma and Akane were
married the day they met?". The Second Chapter is from the original story
the only difference is that I changed it to script format. Chapter 3 has
some of the original story in it but from there on no more. I will post
the original story in my archive when I update next. I have fixed the links
to the chapters so they should be working now.

doll never left Akane, but hid itself in her? And then another spiritual
force brings it to the surface again?
Divergence Title: Thy
Outward Part
Author: Richard
Lawson
Status: Complete
Synopsis: The responses to these series of stories
have fallen into two major camps: people like them a lot, or hate the very
concept behind them. This is not a series, evidently, to feel indifferent
about. Of course, I'd like to know what you think, whether you like it
or dislike it.
Divergence Title: To
Be Loved By You
Author: Remi
Status: Ongoing
Synopsis: A new series! I know I still haven't
finish "Heir of Darkness" yet but I just couldn't get this idea out of
my head. So I wrote another which seemed to be a beginning of a long going
series.

Synopsis: Not so much a series but a collection
of stories where people get wishes granted in such a way as to do them
good
Divergence Title: The
'TV Son of a..." Series
Author: G.L.
Sandborn
Status: Complete
Synopsis: The Japanese have bought out most of
America's old TV shows and have recast them to show on their own cable
system. Nick at Night was never like this.

Divergence Title: Untitled
Author: Jen
Status: Abandoned
Synopsis: This fic was actually started way before
Silicon Madness and is the tale of Ranma getting on with life after Akane.
In the story, he is attending college in California, meets a girl named
Shayla and Akane is engaged to Shinnosuke back in Nerima. It is still unfinished
and up to chapter 10 and I don't know how long it's going to go. Again,
prereaders are a big help, so feel free to contact me if you're prepared
to read the musings of a madwoman! :)
