Howdy my Ranma fans.  So as you all should have seen, I decided to put GDWHOM on hold again until my DxD muse has enough food to sustain itself.  I’m also not going to go back to FILFy in August.  Given how much family life still cramped my style even after most of my babysitting duties were taken over, and my history with that month, I feel it would be tempting Fate to come at me as if I was a matador waving a red cloth at a bull. I will try to revive my DxD muse in September and push to finish FILFY going on from there with a chapter every other month until it’s finished. 

Importantly for my Ranma fans, this means that, with Effect having won in July (this month, the results should be visible in a separate post by now) Only Stallion of the Line is left of the three stories that have been part of the Ranma rotation for a while.  So I thought to ask you all what you wanted to see.  The choices are:

Journey Gone Astray – DC/Ranma Crossover.  I would say this would be my choice, because I think that Kara and Ranma traveling together will let me have a lot of cute moments and help build Kara’s personality.  A link to the collection this is a part of can be found here: Journey Gone Astray | Collection from vimesenthusiast | 3 posts | Patreon.  I hope that link works anyway. 

A Young Horse in the World of Black Dogs - Ranma/Kuroinu crossover:  This one calls out to the pervert in me, and maybe a bit of the magic lover.  I like the idea of Ranma incorporating magic into his style at a young age, and the relationship I can see him start to build with Olga.  It will start out with her in the driver’s seat in many ways, but Ranma will never be easy to bridle and he will eventually force her to treat him as an equal despite his young age in a lot of ways.  So… mostly for the pervert half of my brain but there’s a lot of ways I can take this.   The first chapter can be found here:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/95288022

An Aunt’s Touch – Ranma/High School of the Dead Crossover: Ranma finds out he has an aunt when he is stuck in the Neko-Ken.  This was a one shot I thought up and had people vote for after realizing the mistakes I’d made in my first crossover in this fandom six years ago. It could be a great mostly fun and explorative fic without much in the way of real romance for several chapters and then a lot of warfare/zombie stuff later on where Ranma goes against Warjacks.  I also positively love the idea of messing with the Jusenkyo curses, something that I would also eventually do in Journey.  More information can be found in https://www.patreon.com/posts/33228069 and An Aunt's Touch Teaser | Patreon

Sword, Bow and Horse – Vanadis Ranma crossover: a Crossover I put on hold a few years back because it had gotten to such a perfect place to stop it, but I enjoyed writing in this world, because it allowed for a lot of Ranma style shenanigans, world building, and the girls were great to work with.  It would be interesting to build out beyond the point where the anime of Vanadis reached, and to lean into Valentina even more as a main character.  It can be found here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13500971/1/Sword-Bow-and-Horse or Full fic downloads | Patreon  

I had thought to maybe add a few more choices here, but I did some muse searching, and decided that I’m not in the mood for Ranma sci fi, hence no Herd in Space.  I also decided I want to lean into the weird and loopy for a bit with My Ranma fics, hence no Addventure Homage, since that has more serious world building/political stuff, even if I think that the Ranma/Henrietta pairing in that fic is amazing and fantastic to play with. 

This is a NUMBERS ONLY poll.  That means what you see is what you get here.  I want to go with the majority.  THINK CAREFULLY!!! The winner of this poll will replace GDWHOM in the Ranma poll. 

This poll will close on the 31st. 

... Watch all of this not matter as Stallion wins dramatically. LOL.

I would love to see some new chapter of Sword Bow and Horse. Now that Making Waves is finished I think another Fantasy Story with Ranma sould be up.

Lucien Dauntes

I'd love to see either Journey or Aunt's touch, I remember liking the teaser chapter.

Delphinous

while i can understand that you're not in the mood for it, i am slightly dissapointed that herd in space isn't on the agenda, but i will remain patient knowing that one day it will likely return, and there are plenty of other good options in the meantime that i also love

Gilorad

im gonna go with Journey but all of them are seem good

vimesenthusiast

Yeah it will. I think I will bring it up again after Magic of the Force is done.

shaun shultz

i really like sword bow and horse. I will read your stories because they are good but DC comics never really interested me.

Delphinous

that makes sense, trading one sci-fi (even if it's really science fantasy) for another sci fi. looking forwards to it

Tellemicus Sundance

This 'Aunt' wants to punish those 'Black Dogs'! VIOLENTLY!!

Bryan Brown

Journey is my favorite of these but since it is already winning I am going to vote Aunts touch to make sure it gets enough votes be on an option next time you are looking to add a Rama story to the lineup.

Bryan Brown

Also I rather have the Harry Potter Black Dog story instead of the Rama one.

FormVIEnthusiast

Definitely Journey. All 3 teasers are so good I've been rereading them whenever I have the time, and I'd love to see more interaction with Ranma and the DCU. Having him spend a few weeks dealing with the Flash and his rogues gallery would be a riot!

vimesenthusiast

The world building portion of my mind agrees with you. 😝

Hiryo

I like them all, but I voted for 'Sword, Bow and Horse' so that this one will be finished and then Journey will be worked on. Love "An Aunt's Touch" as third one and lastly "A Young Horse in the World of Black Dogs". In the end I want to see them all!

vimesenthusiast

Think of me as singing this to the you are coping meme: YOU MUST CLONE ME, you really must clone me, You can't get everything you want without Cloning, oh yes, cloning me...

Tom smith

Journey. I wouldn’t mind 3 maybe 2 but definitely journey:)

DiscipleWanderer

I went with Journey since out of your two Kuroinu cross ideas I would actually prefer the Harry Potter cross. I'm a little more interested in that one. Also I agree that Sword, Bow and Horse are pretty much at a good ending point as far as the main story is concerned. Of course there are various loose ends that need to be tied up and would make for interesting writing, especially with the growth of Ranma's personality after the war. Btw are you keeping all the collections here on Patreon?

lostone2

It had been difficult to choose between Journey and Sword, tbh. But lastly, it comes down to the following: Sword is in a better place to be paused that Journey. Having said that, I hope that you pick it at some point. I vaguely remember that it was not that far from being completed...

vimesenthusiast

Sword? No it wasn’t close to being finished. I’d say it has… four, five arcs each a few chapters long? Hard to say.

Arkos Sloth

SB&H please. Let's get another story finished!

Braeden1002

Honestly my inner pervert wants to see something from Kuroinu if only because of the lewd shenanigans Ranma would get up to as he saves and rescues people (and especially if he can still turn into Ranko and make him bisexual). The only thing that holds me back from wanting to go all in on Kuroinu is how dark it can be and that when it comes to hentai/eroge I have a personal fondness for Funbag Fantasy and would love to see Lute replaced with Ranma. But overall I think Journey gone Astray would have the better overall story and plot. It will be very interesting to see how the world of heroes and villains change when you have someone like Ranma who is not part of any league, organization, or team and goes about following his own code of conduct. Will we see new villains, will some villains give up the life of crime knowing that there's someone willing to kill them or can Ranma change someone with his words and actions, and will we see different teams/leagues as people are influenced and changed.

Wrandral

Ahhh i know it won't win but i'll vote for the Kuroinu and HotD ones, i love fics that happens in dystopian settings and try to fix them.
