So why are there countless Akane-bashing threads and fics, but not many
for Lum? I guess it's easier to forgive someone who goes around in a
tiger-striped bikini. :-)

That may be part of it.  For me, it's the voices and speech patterns.
'Darling' sounds oh so much more kawaii than 'Ranma no baka'.  Of course,
'Divine Retribution' kinda sucks.  =)

Hmmm... time to re-evaluate some of my characterizations.  ^_-

Always the goal of a successful spamfic. Thanks for the compliment!

Hey, I may even write a pro-Akane fic!  ^_^
