Ranma Half Moon chapter 50, special Omake edition!

Author's note: This episode is completely mindless self indulgence and has little to do with the story.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Crosley Bendix from the Universilist Broadcast Station and we're here to do a story on the fan-fic 'Ranma Half Moon' and its enigmatic writer, Resop."

The fan-fic writer waves and flashes peace signs.

"So, how long has this story been going on?"

"I started it in the fall of 2001. It was originally a one shot quickie, but five years after I put it up on fanfiction dot net I had an idea for a second chapter and then it took off from there."

"How many episodes are planned?"

"I don't know. I do have ideas for a second season and a third season. The second season would be during the time period between the restart (when Usagi's Sailor Moon uses the Silver Crystal in Sailor Moon episode 46) and when the aliens land. In the alternate universe that is Ranma Half Moon, this time period is longer than the Sailor Moon show implies it to be, because time had to be reset farther to completely rid the world of Queen Beryl's influence."

"And the third season?"

"That's a secret."

"Any clues about the second season?"

"The cover of the story on the fanfiction site has a big clue."

"Well, it sounds like you have things under control."

"Indeed. That's the good thing about writing fan fiction. You're in control. Now, suppose that I was in a different discipline, say a professional wrestling promoter. I would have to deal with many people, both in and out of the ring, to get the show to go on. In fan fiction, the author is in control."

"I see you're ready to send in another chapter."

"Yes. Girl-type Ranma fights two Yoma Monsters and Sailor Neptune does a run in to even the odds."

"Sound exciting!"

"And, since the proof reading and spell checking and reading to myself and friends is finished, all I have to do is click send and it will be on its way."

The telephone rings.

"What the heck? Hello?"

"Excuse me, is this the fanfiction writer Resop?"

"Yes, it is."

"The is Frank Talent from the State Fan Fiction Commission."

A giant sweat mark appears by Resop's head.

"Are those two Yoma Monsters licensed to be Yoma Monsters in this state?"

Resop coughs. "Um, no."

"Well, they going to have to get licenses before you can send in your story."

"How much?"

"Ten dollars each."

"Do you take ?"

"Yes. Oh, one more thing. Is Miss Ramen going to blade in this fight?"

"No! Most of the fight is with magic."

"Okay, but if Miss Ramen bleeds, we'll have to stop the fight."

"Okay."

Resop hangs up. "Rotten blood sucking leaches."

"Wow, I didn't know there was a State Fan Fiction Commission."

"Neither did I."

Tuxedo Kamen walks into the room. "Hey Resop, do you have a second?"

"Um, sure."

"You remember my girlfriend? The one I introduced you to last time?"

"Yeah."

"She's been pretty bored on the set. I was wondering if she could be my valet or something."

"Tuxedo Kamen doesn't have a valet. But, maybe I can make her a background extra. That will at least give her something to look forward to."

"Okay, you da man."

Tuxedo Kamen leaves and boy-type Ranma walks in.

"Hey, boss!"

"What's going on?"

"Hey, my girlfriend is going to be reading this episode, so I was wondering if I could get more offense in at the beginning so I won't look weak in front of her."

"Girl-type Ranma is fighting."

"Yeah, but, it's still supposed to be me."

"Geez, it's already two on one. That should be enough of an excuse. Just make up something to tell her."

"Okay, meenie."

Boy-type Ranma leaves.

"Wow, what else could go wrong?"

The telephone rings.

"Hello?"

"Mister Resop, this is Mister Saint Clear from the fire marshal's office. Is it true you're promoting a Yoma Monster fight in Cherry Hill Park?"

"Yes."

"Have you filed all the necessary paperwork?"

"In triplicate."

"Are you planning on having over five hundred fans?"

"No, we're not having any fans, we're not even selling tickets!"

"No reason to be cross, Mister Resop. I'm just doing my job."

"Sorry, this is a stressful time."

"Well, I'll see you at the fight!"

"Okay."

Resop hangs up the phone. "Like I said, the fan fiction writer is in control."

"Well, Mister Resop, congratulations on your fiftieth episode. Any, final message to your fans?"

"Yes. I want to thank all the people who have read the story, favorited it, reviewed it, mocked it, made fun of it, or reacted to it in any way. We have tons and tons of new plot developments coming up, one of which is so shocking that the name of the arc will be withheld until the second installment."

Resop clicks the send button.

Next time, a messy four way relationship will continue!
