i've finished reading Tenchi Ranma Together Forever, and i realize just how big The Altered Destinies really is. this caused me to wonder why only one of its fanfics has a trope. if you separate it by the authors you still have multiple Fan Verse. there are forums for the bitter end here, multiple recommendations but hardly actual tropes. i find it strange. look how big it is

  • A Wolf in Samurai's Clothing
  • Aiyah! My Goddess
  • Celeste Byrd
  • Converging Series
  • DB Sommer
  • Derekloffin
  • Dreiser
  • honor and loyalty

  • The Bet
  • The Nine Lives of Ranma

The Altered Destinies is a series of Ranma ½ works of fan fiction looking at alternative histories for the characters.

I’m trying to create a Altered Destinies trope, but getting a massive case of writers block, so since we already have a the more things change and a tale of two wallets I decided to go the slow and steady approach. I’m almost done with Nabiki ½ and am moving on to Most unlikely of friends after that. I’ll also start doing individual tropes.

While AD mostly revolves around Ranma ½ don’t forget that it is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover Fan Verse.

I wanted to add this to Fanfic Fuel but this combined with it being The Multiverse and couldn’t figure out how to condense it down. I’m putting it here both for your input and to see what you think.

General

  • Gregg "Metroanime" Sharp's The Bet is a Alternate Universe Fic like with Kevin D. Hammel Crippled: Body and Souls as well as its numerous sequels there are many possibilities to adapt and continue. In-Universe it would be considered a Close-Enough Timeline.
    • Also as Frederick Dean Herriot numerous times Fan Sequel is also a great option.
    • Adaptation and Continuation are the biggest fuel source.
  • What If? a different character was attacked by a werewolf, or it was a different mythical creature like a zombie or a vampire.
    • What if Akane didn’t misphrase her wish and Ranma was sent to the future. Ranma or one of the others becomes a Kurustani
  • Backstory: Genma and Soun’s past, what if they didn’t end up with Nodoka or Kimiko or end up in a One True Threesome.
    • Reality Series is a multi-level series exploring the potential of alternate universe futures where different combinations of the Ranma cast are explored through their progeny, who combine the best qualities of each system. It is inspired by the various fics in the Series. this provides a number of opportunities. Go into more detail of the universes in with Next Gen Fic like Inherit the Storm or like Thunder in the Mountains go more indept in the Inherit the Storm.
  • Time Skip: Write about what happened during these. A fanfic about the year between the end of the series and a bitter end. Ryo Saotome attempts to find his way home, how did the evil Ranma regain his sanity.
  • Alternate Continuity: creating your own version of a fic Jim himself created two versions of Quantum Destinies as well as a version of Purple Haired Destiny.
    • Like in Meet Tendo Nabiki (which can also be looked more indebt into) version of the Scary Thought stories and Switching Heirs that don’t have happy endings
  • Fusion Fic: combining universes Quantum Destinies showed a Dark Fic version of A Very Scary Thought by combining it with Ill Met by Starlight, what about an evil version of Kasumi, Akane or Akane.
    • How about just an extremely scary though ranko ½ genma and nodoka have a daughter
  • Switching P.O.V.: re-write the fics from the point of view of different characters. A Rugrats –esk retelling of A Very Scary Thought from Lylac, Ekko and Fragrance’s POV as well as the other children. Ranko from Quantum Destinies or the Ranma that gained Super-Intelligence
  • Mousse’s time in America from MUOF.
  • Remember it’s a Fan Verse is a fanverse with extensive history and rules Peter Schell wrote Tenchi and Ranma Together Forever to go more indebt tenchi’s relationship with Ranma.
  • Other fanverses are a part of it so you could add to things like pokegirl verse or set stories in Uxal.


Examples:

  • Franchise/Batman there are a lot of options here like with clark the time he became an Old Superhero.

Bruce was able to use Happosai’s weakness for undergarments to extract from him a pledge that he would cease harassing the Saotomes. Instead the family came under his protection, more or less, which proved to be a mixed blessing over the years as he was both their protector and the greatest source of misfortunes.
  • Martian Manhunter is named as such because he was a green man from outer space who came to this planet during a time when it a synonymous with Martian. He’s just learned to live with it. he has a thing for Zatanna and is addicted to Twinkies. They’re basically his cigarettes.
  • Which heroes are old and which aren’t maybe its based off of when they were created.
  • The mutant/metahuman gene is the result of Atavism not evolution we’ve seen magneto’s reaction to this but what about Xavier.
  • Jim had a lot of Take That! to Teen Titans and X-Men
  • And its not just those franchises we know that [[Comic Book/Femforce Joan Wayne]] is actually Joan Jordan. There are a lot of different francises that just be fitted in.
  • Legacy Character: Lila Emerson is the daughter of Doctor Polaris and Joan’s girl friend.
  • Depending on the universe Hikaru Daitokuji’s mother is either a random employee or a stark who Lex used as pawn for Corporate Warfare. Tony and B-ko are cousins
  • Rouge works for Stark industries she initially went to Jusenkyo on behalf of Tony.

  • More stories like Avenging involving different franchises while there have been a 1 or 2 using DC they haven’t really gone anywhere.
  • A crossover with the original franchise what if Helena met Damian and realizes she needed to nip that in the butt.

Film

  • Film/Gremlins: Gymp
  • Franchise/Highlander
  • The Crow
  • Star Wars: depending on the universe it either really is fictional or it’s happening now though still in a galaxy far far away.
  • Film/Vanhelsing: this is the prefect opportunity for a Fix Fic Gabriel is introduced during the last chapter and other then a Shout-Out about he and Logan look alike it doesn’t go into a lot of detail as he’s just an extra. Integra acknowledges him as her cousin, but her branch of the family stopped using the Van in there name when they migrated to England. He did work for the Vatican. With what we know about Stan there are a lot of opportunities. Stan went into Witness Protection, but what about Michael, Ariel, Raphael, Uriel and Gabriel. Is this the same Gabriel or is he just like Alexander.

Literature

  • The Destroyer: Chiun is comb’s father shampoo’s grandfather and is shown to be absolutely terrified of cologne. Names to run away from
  • 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Magnus Challenger is captain nemo
  • The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
  • Harry Potter: Wizard schools in different countries though this appears to be more of a depending on the universe thing as mages, witches wizards ect are shown to be different.
  • Literature/Paratime: Time Police we have Reality series what about before that or show other agents.
    Jim Bader: Shiva-Ranma is sort of like the heavy big gun that you only bring in when you want to level the playing field...and I mean that quite literally. He's not exactly there for *surgically* precise removal of trouble elements, and that means when he shows up it's going to be on the verge of near Armageddon...
    jeremy_blackstone: Frankly I don't think the Time patrol and superheroes have a very loving relationship with each other. For instance take the The Once and Future Thing episode from Justice League unlimited. Chronos while intelligent was just some loser going around steeling trash. I was equivalent to writing a parking ticket to whoever was assigned to it now enter Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern and chronos becomes this megalomaniacal maniac who destroyes three universes. And in the end they leave that particular universe in somekind of temporal loop. You know someone was pissed.

Live-Action TV

Video Games

  • The King of Fighters
  • Mortal Kombat
  • Street Fighter: see more of the light hado
  • Dead or Alive: Kasumi is another template of Belldandy
  • Video Game/Battlearenatoshinden: these are the best weapon fighters in the world.
  • Video Game/Darkstalkers: Delphi is an elite group of industrialists and Paranormal types loosely allied on the principle of advancing the general welfare of humanity through information exchange and the promotion of Renaissance ideals. Unlike the MIB mostly their concerns are with this world, not Aliens per-se, except for a few unusual cases where the two share a mutual interest.

Web Comics

  • Astarte Jones: We see the furies origins stories and bits and pieces of them in nabiki ½.

Western Animation

  • Family Guy: Stewie Griffin is the current incarnate of one a feared evil genius who died when his last caper went a cropper, only to be reincarnated into the womb of Lois. He has all of the memories of his former life and hates Lois because he was aware while in the womb. He also joined a chat room with other child prodigies such as Ekko, Dexter, Wednesday Addams the Third, Jimmy Neutron, and Bernie the Brain. However his constant complaints of having to adjust to being a regular family guy has started to sound repetitive to them causing Ekko to call him out for clogging up the chatline. There is no mention of who he was before. Is he why brian has human intelligence.
  • Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
  • The Addams Family
  • Dexter's Laboratory
  • Scooby-Doo: Scoobert "Scooby" Doo is the Great Dane mascot of Mystery Inc., and pet and best friend of Shaggy Rogers. It is unknown how he is able to talk, but given that the Mystery Inc. have had run ins with the MIB he might be an alien. They’ve also had run ins with Delphi so supernatural origins. John Talbain is said to look like Shaggy though he’s offended by this.

Real Life

  • It turns out that a lot of fiction Based on a True Story there are a lot of opportunites for Real-Person Fic.
  • The idea for Eternal Champion was suggested to /Michael Moorcock by Corl the Soul Warrior’s reincarnation. However unlike in his works the forces of Chaos and Order are not evenly balanced but rather strive in contention for all eternity to gain mastery over the Cosmos.
  • Jules Verne wrote about Magnus Castiglione’s adventures in the first Nautilus
  • Steven Spielberg seems to be a James Cameron type. The Raptors from Jurassic Park weren’t animatronic, but the Velari a tribe of intelligent Velociraptors he hired as actors. So a King Kong type of adventure to Pangea. Legendary mythical Islands located in the Southern Hemisphere close to Antarctica otherwise known as The Lands that Time Forgot or the Morpheus Project. Raiders of the Lost Ark was based off the accounts of the woman who survived the incident.
