Actually, I have in my "intinerary" file a note for a spamfic sized Step to take place in the Ranma universe. Basically, it's an extreme parody of the SI genre. The song Doug uses causes a double gate -- it opens into the Ranmaverse, and about 40 feet past that it opens a second gate somewhere else. Of course, right between those two gates is a typical day in Nerima. Doug's completely unconscious (as is usual during his interuniverse transitions), and his cycle just roars straight on through the conflict. In the process of doing so, he ends up scattering people out of his path into "canonical" couples, gets an accidental grope of Nabiki, etc., etc., pretty much doing all the usual SI "fixing up" and self-aggrandizement except it's all accidental, over the course of a mere minute or so, and he vanishes before he ever knows what happened. And of course, the moment he's gone, it all falls apart...
I don't know if I'll ever write it, but it's a fun idea.
