Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

“So, this is how you relax?” asked Washu from the roof of the office building.
Ranma nodded, as he lay down beside her. “When I was growing up, the only constant I ever had were the stars. With my Pops dragging me around everywhere, doing one stupid thing after another “all in the name of training”, you learned to find comfort where you can.”
“How so?”
“Constellations. I may not have been the smartest person, but I could name every star. They were my friends.”
Washu nodded. “You won’t find any here. This planet was uninhabited before the Academy was built.”
Ranma just smiled, holding up a small screen. “I know, I made my own.”
The screen glowed, as designs formed on it, connecting the dots of the stars. “This one is the Malleter. She was placed in the heavens by the Gods, for whacking one of the loves of a Goddess on the head with her mallet, calling him a pervert.”
Washu giggled at that.
“Next we have the gluttonous panda. It upset the Gods by eating all their food, so they cast him into the stars, to keep him from eating their food, and to punish him by showing him the food he would never eat again.”
Washu’s giggles began to get louder.
“Next we have the myopic duck. He was after a Goddess, but she wished nothing to do with him. In anger, he became a man and chased off every guy who talked to her, so she placed him in heaven, since it would shut him the hell up and allow her to chase her beloved, whoever he may be.”
The laughter got louder.
Soon, he described the crazy swordsman who refused to see reality, the tiny pervert who stole underwear, the old ghoul who haunted young men, the crying man who never did anything but whine, the dancing doctor and his partner Betty, and finally the Angel Kasumi, whose food brought harmony to the world.
At the end, Washu was struggling to catch her breath.
