The Rurouni Kenshin Fanfiction Drinking Game
- with heavy inspiration from Sean Gaffney's Ranma 1/2 Fanfiction Drinking Game
Disclaimer: RK belongs to Watsuki-sensei. Inspiration belongs to many Ranma 1/2 fans. I don't encourage you to get drunk ... grab some pop or something instead. Cause if you read enough crappy fics, you just might die. Also, I'm not insulting anyone! # of drinks is merely a function of popularity in fics. Some of the pairings I've only noticed in doujinshi.
- This fic may or may not be updated according to reviewers' contributions, at my discretion. Thanks and credits go out to them, as well. -
