As anyone who’s used WordPress extensively knows, you can postdate additions. (”Don’t show until…”) I won’t do that. If you see it, that means it’s as fresh as possible. That means I may write in bursts (as many as a dozen one day and then none for a week or two) but you’ll get them as they’re ready.
I save any fanfic I review to my hard drive. If something seems to have dropped off the web, let me know and I’ll either host a copy or send it to you. As it is, I try to link to a relatively stable archive like the RAAC Archive or fanfiction.net whenever possible.

Title: No Matter What
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2052049/1/
Author: KittenKagome
Source: InuYasha with a Ranma 1/2-inspired concept
Rating: 6/6
Type: Semi-crossover (Ranma-inspired permanent gender swap in the IY world)
Length: One-shot
I ran across this little gem while browsing fanfiction.net and I just had to share it. The basic concept is, what if one of Naraku’s plans backfired and every main character ended up getting gender-swapped? It’s quite well written and I’d recommend it to anyone who has five minutes to spare.

I ran across a very interesting blog today. It’s called Pagan Savage and it’s author doesn’t exactly like christians as evidenced by his recent post, more proof that christians are morons… although if you’re not homophobic then please read the article he links to. It’s rather funny and made even more so by the fact that it’s real.
Anyway, I liked the posts that shot some pretty nice holes in the picture of good old George W. Bush. Take a look at them here (Nazis and the USA), here (Famous American heros would seem to disagree, Mr. Bush.), and here (Tell me I’m wrong).

About a month ago, I started listening to Blind Guardian and I have to recommend their CD “A Night at the Opera”. One of my main complaints about music in general is the preponderance of CDs which only have one or two good songs. This definitely breaks through that.
From “A Night at the Opera”, I recommend:
* Battlefield
* Under the Ice
* Sadly Sings Destiny
* The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight
* The Soulforged
* Age of False Innocence
* Punishment Divine
* And Then There Was Silence
This is a preview of

Title: Inu 1/2
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/351730/1/
Author: manekochan
Source: InuYasha with a piece from Ranma 1/2
Rating: 5.5/6
Type: Semi-crossover (Jusenkyo water in the InuYasha world)
Length: 15 Chapters (Story Arc 1 complete. Arc 2 pending.)
I normally don’t read much InuYasha fanfiction. It’s not because I dislike the series but rather, because I find that it’s more conductive to the creation of the types of fiction which interest me less and I don’t have time to sift through it all. However, one thing I always wanted was to see some possibilities for how InuYasha would react if he had an “encounter” with some Nyannichuan (Spring of Drowned Girl) water from Ranma 1/2. I ran across one fanfic that did so but it wasn’t exactly well written. I’d probably give that one a 3/6. I kept looking but I never could find one… until now.
