Back in early 1996, a flamewar erupted in the [[Use NetUseNet]] newsgroup rec.arts.anime as to the merits of each of [[Ranma One Half|Ranma Saotome's]] many fiancees. So far, this was entirely normal.
 
Then something weird happened. One poster in the thread described the thread as all out war. Another poster thought this amusing enough to write a little story about some of the participants of the flame war waging all out trench warfare against each other.
Line 52:

This fanfic/RPG thingy provides examples of:
* [[Mary Sue]] and [[Self -Insert Fic|Self Insertion]]. And how. The Original GRIT was basically all about the Mary Sue self-insertions. It got better over time. The second and third incarnations have toned down the self-insertions a lot, and there is only one self-insert in the third.
** So far.
* [[Shapeshifting|Shape shifting]]: The original GRIT was directly based on Ranma 1/2 and so many of its characters ended up with that series' shapeshifting water curses...
Line 72:
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters|Loads and loads of characters]]: The original Ranma 1/2 had a fair amount of characters, who were all by default present in the original GRIT. Also, the original GRIT went for ten (or so) years, had many different GRITters writing and introducing new characters, and thus it ended up with a ridiculously huge number of characters.
** This led to another issue, later on... when the original creator of a character left, or just mysteriously disappeared and was never heard of again, his or her characters were still around in the story, sometimes in important roles. This would lead to someone else adopting the character.
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: the original GRIT brought in references to different continuities left and right, and featured a lot of fighting and one-upmanship, so power inflation was somewhat inevitable.
* [[Tournament Arc]]: Surprisingly for a series so chock-full of superpowered martial artists, I can only remember two tournament arcs. There was one back in the very beginning (the "Eric Pollen Weedwhacker Tournament"... or something) and one right around the time the first GRIT died.
** Mind you, I could just be forgetting other ones.
