2. A member of the cast does or is made to do
something differently than the original storyline.
Examples: Ranma does not find Shampoo while looking
for the memory-restoring shampoo. Kunou's first challenge to the "pig-tailed
girl" really *is* a challenge rather than a "declaration to date."
Basically, any deviation that occurs (more or less) within
the story's original timeline. This is where it can drift into that "grey
area."
Would the cast's early childhood be considered
part of the original timeline? How about their pre-Jusenkyou teenage years?
That grey area depends on the reader. Personally, I think the answer to both those questions is yes, as far as events that directly affect them are concerned. World-affecting events (a deadly plague for example) would still make in an Alterverse
But it all still comes down to the reader. : )
