        No Mousse or Ryoga?  Aww, but that's okay looks like you guys have
your hands full.  Kodachi sounds like an interesting read I think.  Kasumi
well I guess she's going to wrap things up somehow.
        I could easily see a Ryoga one though:  what if Ryoga didn't get
lost and faught Ranma when they were kids.  he'd probably lose but they
might have become friends or something.  from there Genma kind of adopts
him to train along with Ranma, I suppose they'd run into Ukyou next.  Genma
would probably end up with Ukyou and the yatai since he'd have two 'sons'
to engage off.  So then the whole gang go to china and from there I have no
idea.
        I admit Mousse would be alot tougher to do but I do like the Ryoga
idea.  I'd like to read that.  Heck, I'd like to write that but of course I
have no idea what the grand scheme of things look like.

	Ryouga was, as I recall, bounced around as a potential 
Elseworlds, but no one could come up with a decent story.  Let's face it, 
Ryouga would wish for one of two things, to get rid of his curse so that 
he could tell Akane he loves her, or that he could beat Ranma.  Most of 
us reached a conclusion that Ryouga would just end up taking Ranma's 
place in the scheme of things and it wouldn't be that interesting.  Well, 
SOMEONE had some WEIRD ideas, but we don't want Ryouga running 
around with a Green Lantern ring (given to him by Cologne) and a suit of 
power armor that makes him the Invincible Iron Pig, do we?  (It wasn't 
me!  These ideas ccame from someone else entirely.  Biles knows who I'm 
talking about.)
