I have seen a number of self-insertion fics crop up lately (not many,
but a few), the most notable of which was Kun-chan's "A Gaijin in
Nerima". I know this was a parody, but you must not realise the danger
you are putting yourself in! What if your literary devices fail? What if
the veil of your supreme otakuness should part, leaving you a normal,
average human being in a world where 90% of the inhabitants can (and
will) beat the crap out of you without breaking a sweat? Therefore I
have endevoured to write such a fic to demonstrate the dangers.

to any and all authors who would like to participate, please e-mail me
with your full name, a general description of yourself, including any
defining features. Also, if you happened to get cursed during the
revengefics, tell me and describe the nature of the curse. Be assured
that these curses will then be twisted to burn you in the most hideous
manner possible. Also, please include the name of the Ranma 1/2
character you would LEAST like to sleep with (do NOT automatically
exclude characters of the same gender. This is what the curses are being
included for!)

Be warned, this will not be pretty.

The Prime Saggitarian,
Alpha Centauri
