<< The other day, I was straightening up my room when I found a lone
 five dollar bill lying under a rug. I picked up the piece of paper and
 looked at it. As I looked at it, I wondered, <Where has this bill been?
 Who's hands has it passed into before it landed into mine? It could have
 once belonged the president, a murderer, a hero. It could have traveled
 around the world. It has been places I have never visited, and never will.>
 Of course, at this point, I went out and spent it, and didn't give it a
 second thought until now.
 
 	I just started thinking about it again I suddenly came up with a
 great idea for a fic or a series of fics. (Well, at least I thought it was
 great.) The idea is simple: take a common ordinary object, like a ring or a
 piece of yen, and have it pass down through various anime and manga, or
 whatever. Each time it begins a new story or adventure. For example, it
 could start out in Ranma 1/2, then move on to Tenchi, and so forth. This
 could go a long way.
 
 	I would do it myself, but I really am too lazy and don't watch
 enough anime or read enough manga to do something like this. Maybe another
 author, or even a series of authors, each working with a different
 adventure, could do this. Unless, of course, this has already been done. Oh
 well. (I still think it's a cool idea. :-)

  It sounds neat-t torpedo! (damn, I gotta stop watching freakazoid!) Anyway,
I'm not sure if I could take the idea up, but I'll try. Oh yeah, you're idea
sounds like that sprint commercial, where someone has adime,and it's pasted
throught different commercials. Maybe not one author, but the whole friggin
mailing list can hope on. I personally think this project would be to bug for
one person. Say, maybe you start it where you have it, than get your hair
brain scheme to make your own jyusenkyo spring, (I've fallen into spring of
drowned Guyver!) and than spend it for god knows what. Than soem other author
takes it, than does what he wills. 
  I'd love to take part in it, and it would fit nicely. As you see, I'm
working on a huge series which is where Ranma finally marries Akane, and
Ryouga decided to move on with his life. Throughout the time, Lost boy here
will travel the world, hoping to find someone who replaces Akane in his
broken heart of glass. I'll first take Ryouga through a Sailor Moon Episode,
than through OZ, then he'll become the mighty one, finding a new bandanna,
(remember Mighty Max) and Panty Hose will be like Norman, and Moose will be
like Virgil. But, if anyone can find me other stories along the way, thank
you very much. As you see, the yen peice will do very nicely in my story! 
 Maybe if you have the yen peice or object need a specific job done. Say,
that evil demons are trying to retake it, and the character must pass it on?
Hmmm? This would require a huge group effort, and this could be one huge
friggin fan fic, but hey, it would be kewl!
