This story started with a single realization. The voice actor for both Snails and Ranma happened to be the same person.
Snails 1/2 is a Ranma 1/2 spoof. Not actually a crossover, this is the story of Snails dealing with a Jusenkyo style curse. When hit with cold water he... becomes a filly. As if that wasn't horrifying enough, he quickly finds himself caught between rivalries, forced into competitions, and now he feels like he is developing a severe phobia of water.
With artwork by Alkarasu and edited by Swyrl, this is a story made as a pure slice of life comedy in the style of anime.
For the continuing story, join us in Snails 1/2:The Perfect Stallion
Chapters (13)
What happens if Snails gets both cold and hot water and dips his hooves in them? Does the universe explode and reset or something?
So much like Ranma, Snails fell into the Spring of Drowned Supermodel. At least he doesn't have to deal with the same issues as Ranma... Hopefully... Ah forget it, he's doomed.
6056818 Nah, He just explodes.
6056818
He turns into a Trap
I like it! Keep going!
6056950 Of which form though?
6056858 Gruesome.
So begins a story of Snails's life becoming a humiliation conga line. So who will find out his secret first? The CMC, Snips, his parents, or somebody else? This is too good a premise to pass up!
Just Watch, Snails is actually Engaged to Diamond Tiara.
6057207
That's the fun part.
6056821
He don't have to worry about sudden indecent nudity, that's a plus.
6057406
And Snips. And Sweetie Belle. And Blueblood. And Princess Celestia.
And, of course, Ranma, both forms separately.
It is possible that everything I say is a blatant lie.
6057867 Worst part is at least half of his suitors are also cursed.
6057930
That's not a requirement.
Being terminally insane, on the other hand, is.
Therefore, add Discord and Pinkie to the list.
This sounds like a typical day for Ranma to me! This is going to be a hoot, poor DT she will flip if she ever finds out the truth. Keep up the fabulous work here!
6064438 only a small rivalry going on between DT and Esc.
Ok it might just be on DT's side. i'm not sure Esc wants to show up DT.
Why am I starting to think Diamond is Tsudere for Snails... probably making her a cross between Akane and Kodachi... Oh God the laughter....
6064771 Could be worse. she could turn into Xain Pu... or Shampoo.
6064789
I think the Equestriani legal system would frown upon the Kiss of Death and Kiss of Marriage.
6064823 i'm also pretty sure that Happosai would be turned to stone or banished to the moon... or... banished to earth... depending on who caught him.
6064823 Knowing the parts of it shown, it could actually be legal there.
"That little tramp was pulling the wet mane look now; that’s totally cheating." That line made me laugh.
6068172
Thank you, trust me, there are tons of laughs though this.
your going to love part 4 and 5.
I bet the first thing snails is gonna do is ask for a desk...
and facedesk repeatedly
I think that both princess are aware of the curse and that is why Snails won, so they can help him deal with it. DT never stood a chance at winning, it would have been Dinky but fate is a cruel mistress, more so for Snails.
6072404
I think they've been pretty clear which curse they've meant. After all, Luna went to the moon not for turning into a stallion.
6072404 who is this snails you speak of? I distinctly remember Escargot winning the pageant.
ONLY SO MANY WAYS THIS CAN GO WRONG!
6076024 Only infinite. And not a single way to go right.
First.
Off you go Snails! Good luck! You're going to need it!
6088360 No amount of luck will help him in a place he's about to go to.
No amount of luck will help the place either.
6088495 Come on, Celestia has better sense then that. She wouldn't invite people to a party expecting it to all go wrong just to have some fun and spice things up.
6088700
Celestia is, of course, a wise and benevolent ruler that would never have any fun at her subject's expense.
Still, there are places to visit before that.
wait what?

i was noticing how many of the ranma voice actors were also mlp actors for generation 2, 3 and 4... When i hit ranma and snails i made the joke... Snails 1/2
From there, the story was born.
6064789
Shampoo's Voice was Cathy Weseluck. Spike... Yah.
6093652
Well, Spike does have a thing for beautiful unicorns... Snails is doomed. DOOMED!
6094227
He's doomed anyway, but that sure adds an interesting twist to his doom.
6093652 must resist the urge to have spike say Hyla!
"Rarity, wo de airen"
nope can't be, he becomes a dog... remember.
6098820 Well, Snails doesn't become a girl either.
I just want to find out how Snips reacts when he finds out his best friend is now a pink princess.
No the story isn't dead. I've got 8 more chapters done, 6 are with the editor.
6106583 Should I bug him?

6107682 The conductor? Yes, he's pretty much dead. Rarity's wrath knows no bonds!
Ah, the shenanigans. They have only begun.
6108181 Rarity is more then prepared. Having to deal with sweetie belle and grape juice.
6108270
I was referring to the almost-but-not-quite Ranma-like shenanigans the curse brings.
but yeah, cmc-ish shenanigans too
6108494 Thank you. I'm not trying to copy Ranma word for word... instead I'm creating ranma style situations
