Sheesh! You lose Email access on the weekends and suddenly you
find that one rather amusing idea has spawned a variety of other ideas.
   Yes, this is another 'setting the record crooked' post of my intentions.
Be afraid...be VERY afraid.

   Tropical Cure--While the Gosunkugi idea being bandied about is
interesting, it is not where I'm taking "Tropical Cure." Let's look at the
Chars. who are on the island and exactly what their fantasies are:

                  Ranma--To be cured (duh! :)
                  Akane--To have Ranma tell her he cares about her (This is a
fantasy so hidden even SHE doesn't know about it.)
                  Soun & Genma--Ranma and Akane to be married. 
                   Ryoga--To be cured, defeat Ranma, and get Akane
                   Shampoo--to get Ranma and possibly be cured
                    Mousse--To be cured and get Shampoo
                   Cologne--For Ranma and Shampoo to be married
                    Kuno--To be with (and possibly marry) Akane And the
"Pig-tailed Goddess."
                    Ukyou--To get Ranma.
                     Nabiki and Kasumi--Just along for the ride

             Here we have ten people with separate and CONTRADICTORY
fantasies. Roarke is going to have his hands full, ne?
           Side note: For those who are hoping Tattoo will make an
appearance, sorry. The timeline of this story takes place in the present.
Tattoo has been gone from the island for a while. (See some episodes
from the last two seasons of Fantasy Island.) Roarke has acquired a
new assistant named Jacob. (Julie and Lawrence are also no longer on
the island.)

     FFML No Fanfic--Chapter 2 is in production. I'm trying to hammer out a
new plot thread that I like, but I will say that this is the chapter where our
"beloved" DBTMFHs will be featured. Yes, Foxtrot, there really is a
cameo. (Bad holiday parody)

    Other Nonsense--Here's something y'all might find interesting...

         This spring, your local FFML is proud to announce the beginning
broadcast of TCM--Takahashi Classic Movies. Thrill to all those classic
films of yesteryear like never before!

          SEE the incredible classic drama of love and intrigue during WWII
"Nerimablanca." Ryoga Hibiki evades SS officers and saves noted
political activst Ranma Saotome for the sake of the woman he once
loved.

           FEEL the incredible tension as three people hire private
investigator Ranma Saotome to investigate the mystery of "The Maltese
Duck." What is so important about this duck that people seem willing to kill
for it?

            WATCH the rise and fall of one of Nerima's most powerful men in
"Citizen Kuno." Noted industrialist Tatewaki Kuno has died, leaving behind
a legacy of power and wealth and the cryptic last word "Goddess."

behind this man among men.
