I've been tossing around a fanfiction idea inside my head for about a week now. And no matter how much I try and find fault with it...It makes too much damn sense. This idea, my friends, is a crossover fanfic. A crossover with what, you may ask? Why, just the only show/book other than MLP:FiM that seems to be able to be crossed over with ANYTHING. I'm talking about the tale of the aqua-transexual martial artist Ranma Saotome, Ranma1/2. Now hear me out before you gang up on me or something. (If you do not know of Ranma1/2, you probably are not going to understand any of the following.)
1) Magic is a major factor of both shows, so it's not too large a stretch for a crossover to happen.
2) Ranma Saotome himself would probably take it very well, considering stranger things have happened to him in canon.
3) Ranma Saotome has been shown to exhibit every element in the Elements of Harmony at some point...And the exact opposite. The latter being the more often. So bringing Ranma right in through some cosmic act of fate, be it Celestia, Luna, Nightmare Moon, or even Discord, would make sense. (My favorite idea I have going on right now is of Ranma being brought in by Nightmare Moon or Discord, maybe the force that seems to be orchestrating the entire thing if it's revealed, made friends with the mane six...And then turn out to be their antithesis. The only force capable of truly rendering the Elements of Harmony useless. It makes sense considering the more...undesirable traits Ranma has shown throughout Ranma1/2.)
4) Ranma really would get along pretty well with the mane six, without having to change a damn thing about his character.
Twilight as a potential source for a cure to his gender-changing curse.
Fluttershy because of the Neko-ken.
Rainbow Dash as someone to compete against.
Rarity because, well, where else is he going to get his clothes repaired if something happens to them?
Applejack because their personalities are similar. At least when it comes to food.
Pinkie Pie because...Does anyone really even need a reason to like Pinkie Pie?
5) The mane six, hell even Spike, would probably like him.
Twilight would probably
Fluttershy would like him right away. Being a new animal she's never seen before.
Rainbow Dash for the same reason Ranma would like her. Someone to compete against.
Rarity would probably find his clothes fascinating. And take it as a personal challenge to make ones his species could wear.
Applejack would probably like how unsophisticated he is about things. Like her. And how he would probably love food made by the Apple family.
Pinkie Pie...Well, she likes everypony. Even ones who aren't ponies.
Spike could look up to him, maybe even see him as someone who could train him so he could impress Rarity or somesuch.
6) The final, and probably most important one. Nothing would need to be changed much about either world to make the story work. It just could. Very, very bizarre things appearing all of the sudden are not uncommon for either canon.
And that's pretty much what I've worked out on this idea. Again, I apologize if this is in the wrong section. Please share any feedback on this idea of mine. Thank you.
