Here's a new drinking game. Additions appreciated....
The Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction *Error* Drinking Game
ERRORS?? Nani?
NAMES AND LANGUAGE:
If any character's name is misspelled (romanization differences not
counted) 1 drink
... if that name is "Ukkyo" 2 drinks
Kunou using the phrase "date with" 1 drink
Ukyou using the phrase "Ranma-honey" 1 drink
... and other characters still use "-chan" 1 drink
Nabiki using the phrase "Kunou-baby" 1 drink
... and other characters still use "-chan" 1 drink
"-kun" and "-chan" treated as if they meant "male" and "female" 1 drink
... "Ranma-chan" used as a name by a regular cast member 2 drinks
... "-kun" and "-chan" used for any other male/female character 2 drinks
Dubstuff mostly... OK. Zen is safe here. If u pik nits... Add these?
Kawaikunee is spelled any other way. (Hi, Kun-chan!) 1 drink
Irokeganai is translated as "uncute" 1 drink
The first line of the fic is "Ranma No Baka!" 2 drinks
(And Zen is in trouble on this one too... ^_^)
Someone refers to Sushi as Raw Fish 1 bottle
"AGAIN?":
If Genma is treated as habitually selling Ranma for food 1 drink
How is this an error? Precedent was established. Zen is in trouble on
this one...
If Shampoo is treated as habitually drugging Ranma's food 1 drink
Once or twice - but Zen knows about the passion spice. Zen is safe here,
unless references to COLOGNE'S tendencies toward biochemical manipulation
also count.
If Ranma and Ryouga habitually use ki-blasts 1 drink
Again, Zen is safe here. So far ^_^
Nabiki constantly selling pictures of Ranma to Kunou 1 drink
She does. He has *albums* full of them.
Tsubasa a constant nuisance 1 drink
For one appearnce in the manga he *does* become an awful nuisance, ne?
PAIRINGS (Only drink if these pairings supposedly started in the series):
Kunou and Nabiki 1 drink
Zen kindof likes these, and the are not strictly speaking *prohibited* by
Takahashi canon.
Ryouga and Ukyou 1 drink
Zen would sooner chew off his left arm than pair Ukyou-sama up with that
pig-headed moron. (ducking for cover...) Kidding aside, Zen is safe here
too.
^_^
MARTIAL ARTS SKILLS:
Nodoka is skillful with her katana 1 drink
Is it never mentioned one way or the other? Zen figgered she might be...
Akane is a match for any trained character (except Kunou) 1 drink
Like Miyake Shinobu, NOBODY better get in her way when she's *mad*
CHARACTERIZATION:
Ranma hits any girl while he is a guy 1 drink
Ranma _not_ getting jealous when another guy makes moves on Akane 1 drink
No worries here. Well, the current work in progress will scuttle number two...
Sex between any main characters (not alternate universe) with no
explanation 2 drinks
... if one is Ranko (not Ranma-chan) 2 drinks
Absolutely safe here. Zen does NOT write lemons. At least, not yet.
VISUALS:
Ranma-chan's hair is described as red 1 drink
Ano... you would prefer Orange? Zen has always thought of her as a
redhead. How is this error?
... any other odd hair color described as if real 1 drink
Oi! This is anime! They *are* real! ^_^
Battle auras are visible 1 drink
You mean the characters DON'T light up like the fourth of July? *drat*
COOKING:
Akane being totally unable to cook any food 1 drink
COOKing it isn't the problem. Rendering it safe once cooked...
Ryouga afraid of Akane's cooking 1 drink
Nope - too dumb. Besides - Ryouga ain't afraid of nuthin. 'Cept girls...
Akane's cooking walking around or otherwise becoming sentient 2 drinks
Aw hell. Zen knows these aren't canon, but they sure are fun!
How about adding this one?
Ukyou doesn't know how to cook anything but Okonomiyaki 2 drinks
MISC:
If Kasumi is stated to have never had a period 2 drinks
(!) >_< Zen does NOT want to know...
If Nodoka doesn't know about Ranma's curse and the story is written after
she learns 1 drink
Do you mean written after the manga where she learns came out? Or do you
mean written later in the story line? Personally, Zen prefers to write his
stories into the "Pre-Nodoka-Finds-Out" part of the timeline and send them
off on different tangents...
If the Dragon's Whisker still makes Ranma's hair grow 1 drink
Okay - Zen is not that familiar with this bit... Doesn't HIS hair grow at
a hellaceous rate if he removes it?
If someone falls in the drowned girl pool and looks just like Ranma 1 drink
Nope - not unless there is now a spring of Drowned Ranma-chan, like the
spring of Drowned Akane...
If Ukyou tries to kill somebody (not a villain) 1 drink
... and it's not fanfic, but is written by Takahashi Rumiko Finish the glass
Ukyou-sama would *never* be so crass. ^_^
REWRITE!
