    This plot bunny has been fermenting in my brain all week, and I've finally decided to share it with all of you wonderful people.

    During the summer between fourth and fifth year, somehting happened to Harry that means that, whenever he is splashed with cold water, he turns into a buxom, young girl. Hot water reverts Harry back to her male form.

    If you can't tell yet, the idea is that Harry has been hit with the same curse as Ranma Saotome, from Ranma 1/2; which I've been watching (on and off) since last Sunday. I figure that this idea could make for a rather amusing Humour story, and could be easily pulled off by someone of nonjon's caliber.

    I myself am in the process of ironing out some fine details for a story with this idea in it, but it'll be a while yet before I get it into the development stage. I just figured that, if somebody around here thought that this was a good idea, and could possibly turn it into an amusing story, I would love to see what they are capable of.

    Let me know if you think this idea could work.

    No offense to you, but this is the gayest bullshit I've ever seen. If I wanted to read about a guy who turns into a bitch every once in awhile, I'd read canon.

    Wow, I had no idea that that idea had already been done before. Not a clue.

    EDIT: Just took a look at that story; not quite what I meant, as that one is a crossover with Ranma 1/2, and the idea I had was that it would just be something that happened during the summer after his fourth year causes him to be under that curse.

    There is absolutely no need to bash someone's ideas when you don't like them. And, FYI, I never said that Harry turns into a bitch, just that he grew boobs every once in a while.

    I think to write something like that and as humour you'd have to feel some kind of comfortable in the body of the other sex to understand the problem. No offense, but that's just sad, not funny.
    It may be moderately funny to change gender as a prank but I wouldn't want to read a whole story of it.

    I think this sort of post is the reason the challenge thread was abolished.

    I never said it was a challenge; just an idea that wouldn't leave me alone.

    I don't mean to insult you DJK, I'd just prefer not to read about a male who turns into a female.

    That's okay. I respect your opinions on the matter; it's just that, in general, I don't like it when anyone insults, belittles, or debases any of my ideas without good reason. It's one of those things that makes me who I am.

    Bash attack all over this thread!

    Let me put my two sense into this...

    If Ginny was victim of some curse, I would hope she became Snape just before a sexual encounter!

    **evil grin**

    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...HA!!!

    Actually, no. Firstly, I don't like slash stories where Harry is getting buggered under any circumstances, and secondly, I have seen so many Metamorphmagus!Harry stories where he uses his ability to create a girl form, that, through some bizzare logic that probably only makes sense when drunk, I thought it would make a good parody of those stories because Harry has very little, if any, control over a Jusenkyo-esque curse.

    It seems I was wrong. Oh well. Shit happens.

    If you wanted this story written there is one thing you would have to do. It would have to focus on the humor of the situations and the situations that Harry gets into because of the curse.

    You mean kind of like Ranma 1/2 itself. As that is just about what the cannon is only with a few twists like extreme Martial Arts, just plain screwed up upbringing, and others with variations on the gender bender curse. For instance there are curses for a pig, a cat, a Yeti riding a bull carrying a crane and eel, a Askura goddess/demoness (I never can remember what it is), a panda, and almost infinite others as there are supposed to be hundreds of springs (sources) and only a few are listed.

    Just to clarify incase nobody has noticed I am a fan of the series myself. Though I prefer Fan Fiction over cannon as there are more possibilities there much like most anywhere else that I've looked.

    This is pointless. Jusenkyo curses in Ranma served an ironic purpose. Ranma thought all women were weak (courtesy of years on the road with Genma) and was cursed to be half-female. Harry doesn't really have that problem or phobia... thus it'd just be some random gayness.

    Well, he did have a bit to say. It isnt too bad. Unlike those 'over a year' bumps that have been popping up lately.
