    Title: What's in a name?
    Author: muishiki
    Rating: M
    Genre: Drama/Romance
    DLP Category: The Alternate's
    Pairing: None So Far (NO SLASH!)
    Status: Work in Progress
    Summary: AU Harry Potter & Ranma 12 cross over. Harry Potter and Ranma meet later in life. Both bear scars from their own battles, but who suffers more? Is it the person that has to let go, or the one who has to start over?

    Whilst I understand that most DLPers tend to dislike HP/Anime crossovers, I conject that enough of you may derive enjoyment from this story. Later chapters feature some interesting theories about magic and ki, and their relationship to one another (the story treats them as seperate forces). The story is not DH compliant, as it features characters who died in DH.

    Alright, before I get anywhere close to that link, I get the impression that it's a competition of who angsts more between Harry and Ranmna. "Both bear scars from their own battles, but who suffers more?" does not bode well.

    Yeah. We have Harry, who had a kid with Ginny, but she died and he throws himself into his work and almost forgets about his daughter. And we have Ranma, who, as usual is locked up in his cursed form. So it is almost SLASH, with Harry finding Ranma attractive.

    There's no slash. Ranma cures Harry of any notions of a relationship quite vehimently. I'll edit the original post to mention that.

    So, this will likely be slash. My stance on slash fics is the same as it is on any other Romance fic-- as in, the only romance I like in stories is in actual novels written by truly amazing writers (Gone With the Wind and Pride and Prejudice are examples of romantic stories I enjoy). I also dislike smut (or Erotica) most of the time.

    And though I'm not familiar with Ranma, most anime crossovers should be shot before they start. When coupled with the summary (which hints at a very angsty story), this just doesn't look like the type of story I'm interested in. Obviously, I won't rate it as I haven't read past the first chapter.

    Edit: From the post above mine, I gather that Ranma's cursed form is a female form, which Harry falls in love with? Is this the entire plot of the story?

    Well, Harry DOES end up fancying Ranma's female form until Ranma very firmly squashes any notions of a potential romantic relationship between the two. I don't see hardly anything in the way of romance in the story, yet at least. I somehow doubt that Harry and Ranma will end up together as a couple.

    I sense an eventual Harry/Ranma relationship...

    Though I don't consider it Slash because Ranma is fully and functionally female.

    Er... I'm still wondering where they got the idea for the crossover from.

    Some things, just shouldn't be done. This is one of them.

    Right... Not a story I like to read at all... I too sense the Ranma/Harry thing and... no... just no.
