That should read "for the explicit purpose of having canon events negated." As much hemming and hawing as y'all might want to do, this is fundamentally no different than that. You can say it's a *poor story*, and that's completely fine. Though I would disagree with that, as well, as I find this considerably more well conceived and expressed than the great majority of stories on this site.

Sorry, I shouldn't have used the phrase "you people." That just makes things more contentious. But I was pretty upset at that moment.

Let me try one more time. There is no fanfiction without recontextualization. It's at the core of the artform. But "a fanfic of a fanfic" is far less contreoversial than taking a urinal someone else created, putting your name on it and placing it in a museum as art. And I don't have a problem with *that* either. (I mean, that was done almost a century ago!)

If someone took one of the fanfics I've written and created a derivative work that directly challenged some element of my story, I probably wouldn't enjoy that work too much. But I also wouldn't even *think* of saying there was anything wrong with them doing that. Because there *wouldn't be*. There's no basic moral difference between writing a derivative work for no profit and writing a derivative work of a derivative work for no profit, regardless of the reasons for which either derivative work was written.

"Appreciating the desire" is hardly an affirmation of writing a piece of fanfiction based on yet another piece of fanfiction for the sole purpose of negating its content.

You are advocating posting a story the existence of which completely defeats the purpose of the one it's commenting on. And you do so solely on the virtue that you've told H.Saotome how much his story disturbed you--or rather, how much the reviews disturbed you. Nothing about that arrangement sounds odd to you.

"Sensitive look" is not the phrase I'd use to describe this. It's a total rewrite of the original story and its intentions.

Tacky and inappropriate is a very accurate description.

As someone who has spoken with H. Saotome in the past about how upsetting I found his story, I think he understands that some people are going to react quite negatively to it. And that's because it really is incredibly disturbing stuff. So I totally appreciate the desire to write something like this.

Now, I don't support murder any more than I do rape. And revenge is not something I approve of, even in this type of situation. But I do understand why Ranma and Akane would resort to that, even if I think it's wrong.

I do wish there had been more of an epilogue to show what kind of life Ranma and especially Akane had after it was all over. However, thanks for making the effort. This isn't tacky or inappropriate. It's clearly a rather sensitive look at a harrowing story. It could be better, but this was a respectable poece of work.

Did you even tell H. Saotome that you were planning to do this? Sorry not a fan of this story, I happen to love his and I'm a 41 year old female. His work is rape fantasy and he's excellent at it.

Sorry I'm sure you have talent, but should have written a disclaimer to him at least or mentioned him by name.

I have to agree with your other reviewer, this is just plain tacky.

nop, i don't like what you did there

they kill michio and his band the professor but what about the doctor ?

Dude, if you're really gonna base your fic off someone else's work, at least make sure your writing is just as functional as the original author.

And really, making the fic's intent counter to that of the original story? C'mon. I might be able to understand doing that if just based on canon, but this is based on a piece of fiction developed for the purpose of diverging from the series. It just comes off as tacky.

good story hope that there is a second chapter i really loved how they take their revange and hope that Ranma will do anything to make Akane forget about all that

Needs better writing. But yes, that fic is not one of the most heartwarming.
