Flashman and I have been having a little argument and I hope you of
the FFML can help us out.  You see, I want to make a big splash when
I premiere and to that end, I want to write a TRIO Lemon scene.
Flashman doesn't want me to but the two of us have agreed that we
should leave it up to the FFML to decide in the end.

So, cast your votes and if they're favorable, I'll write.  If not,
I'll just get to work on something else.

Okay... Zen normally stays out of things like this, but, for what its worth,
here is Zen's opinion.

The key words in your above statement are "Flashman doesn't want me to"

TRIO is his story, and Zen thinks that just as a matter of courtesy, you
should respect those wishes...  He's worked hard to turn a concept that Zen
found unlikely to put it charitably, into a darned good story.  It has been
a fun read, with the characters behaving in a very believable fashion,
given the circumstances.

That said, you two have apparantly reached an agreement of sorts - that is,
to let the FFML decide.  Given that, if the ML as a whole supports the idea
of your writing it, then Zen hopes that you will try hard to preserve the
flavour of the world that you will be writing in.  It is not that easy, and
will take a good bit of skill.  Zen will be impressed if you can manage
it... Zen would not be able to! ^_^

Failing that, Zen does not know just what components you want to integrate
into the lemon... Zen is, at this point, assuming just a Ranma/Usagi
pairing.  Are any other elements of the TRIO story critical to your lemon?
As an alternative, you could write a lemon that brings them together
without the TRIO universe - there are countless ways to do it.  It would be
more work, but Zen would think that it would be fun to come up with the
back-story as well.  That is, of course, just Zen's opinion.

There.  Zen has put in his 2 yen worth...  Take it for what it is.

Either way it goes, Zen wishes you the best of luck on it.
