Fanfiction – “Curse of Silence”

Title: Curse of Silence (and approved 3rd-party continuations)
Author: Space Pirate Hamster, Mad Hamlet, and SabreBabe
Source: Ranma 1/2
Rating: 5.5/6, 5/6, and 4/6
Type: Alternate Universe
Length: One-shot with three third-party continuation episodes and an attempt to redo it from scratch. (all with approval from the original author)

“What if Akane were a mute?” may not be the most original plot idea and neither is “Akane and Ranma get along better” but all things considered, it’s nice to see one that’s believable and well written for a change. If nothing else, “Curse of Silence” by Space Pirate Hamster is proof of how a good writer can make even the more remote possibilities comfortably believable.

I think that Curse of Silence deserves a 5.5 and the Curse of Slience 1.# continuation by Mad Hamlet gets a 5.0. I was having trouble finding a score for “When You’re a Stranger” by SabreBabe but I decided to give it a 4.0. Although it does replay some of the “done to death” pieces, it also provides more detailed exploration of aspects which the others only mentioned in passing.
