- Could Ryoga ever finish a game of Maiden's Kiss without bleeding himself
out (whether from the nose or from the neck)?

I don't think you can die from a nosebleed. It subsides as soon as you
lose concioussness.

- Would Mat try to put the moves on Onna-Ranma?

If he knows she's really a guy, probably not.

- Would Mat's luck protect him from her wrath?

not in this lifetime.

- How did the Nerimians end up in Randland in the first place?

There was this intense pillar of light that shot down from the sky and...

- How did Happosai manage to fix the Nanban Mirror?

Duct tape. You can fix anything with duct tape.

- Would it really that important to the story?

It's _your_ story, not mine.

- How long 'till the Aes Sedai figure out Ranma's gender curse?

Till he gets splashed.

- WHERE ON EARTH <ahem> IN RANDLAND AM I NOW?!!!  (Quote - Ryoga)

Somewhere.

- Should I have written this bloody thing in the first place?

Probably not, becouse I have to kill you if this slows down your progress on
LoD.

- How does a macho *male* martial artist survive in the White Tower?

Very carefully.

- How long 'till Akane tries to balefire Ranma?

She'd stick with mallets. More her style.

- Who's the strongest (and most dangerous, for that matter)?  A pissed-off
Nyneave or a pissed-off Akane?

Nyeave would probably be stronger, but the only thing more dangerous than
a pissed-off Akane is a pissed-off Lum.

- Will I ever stop with these stupid questions?

Yes. This is the second time I'm reading these questions.

- Will Kasumi ever marry Doctor Tofu?

We can only hope.

- Would Lanfear leave Rand and end up as another of Ranma's fiancees?

No, but if Tenchi showed up...

- Shouting 'Rising *Dragon* Punch' in front of Aes Sedai (particularly the
Red ones) is a Very Bad Idea.

Not sure about that, since he shouts it in Japanese.

- Will Ranma ever find out why people ran away screaming their lungs out
the first time he used a Mouko Takabisha as a guy?
- Will Ranma ever find out why people started calling him 'Aes Sedai' the
first time he used a Mouko Takabisha as a girl?
- Will Ranma ever find out why people ran away screaming 'Aiel' the first
time he killed a Trolloc with some martial arts moves?
- Does Ranma even *care* to find out those things?

He's not stupid.

- Will Ryoga ever find out those Red Sisters have been trying to kill him
since the day he dug his way up from undergroud into the White Tower by
using the Bakusai Tenketsu?

He's not stupid either.

- How long 'till the Aes Sedai figure out the difference between chi and
the One Power?

Is there any?

- Will the Aes Sedai ever get Ranma in a Novice dress?

He's worn a dress before. But never for long.

- How long would Happosai survive if he groped an Aes Sedai?
- How long would Happosai survive if he groped an Aiel Wise One?
- How long would Happosai survive if he groped the Amyrlin?

You can't get rid of him.

- A small, black piglet that can channel is a Very Cute, Yet Very
Dangerous Thing.

There's no need to power up P-chan. He's dangerous enough as it is.

- Will Biles ever finish Parallel Lives so my soul can rest in piece and
not RIP the offending author into shreds? (puns are fun!)

hopefully.

- Grudge Match of the Age:  The Nerima Wrecking Crew vs. The Forsaken!

The forsaken will win the first round, but the second time Ranma has developed
some nifty countermove... ^_-

- Will the White Tower break Akane's temper or will Akane's temper break
the Tower?

I think they'll find themselves in a stalemate.

- Why aren't I writing more Lines Of Destiny instead of this crap?

I might ask you that...

- I could make a very serious story out of all this junk...

Don't.

- I could make a very silly story out of all this junk...

yes, please. _After_ you've finished LoD, okay? ^_^

Why are all anime/WoT crossovers (well, all I've seen, anyway) Ranma?

I came up with some other nice possible crossovers:

WoT/Visions of Escaflowne.

First, there is Van and the Escaflowne. Escaflowne is a mecha.
And it transforms into a _dragon_. 
Then there's Hitomi with her fortune telling that doesn't just 
predict the future. (watch the series and you'll understand)

WoT/Slayers.

A bunch of very powerful, triggerhappy sorcerers running around
Randland. One of whom uses a spell called "Dragon Slave" and one
of whom (if you use the TRY storyline) _is_ a golden dragon.

<small voice>"Dragon slave?"

<Lina> "Yup! The most powerful spell of black magic!"

<very small voice, Lina doesn't hear> "Black magic?"

<Lina>"It was orginally called the Dragon Slayer, but..."

<THUMP. Somebody just fainted.>

<Lina>"Was it something I said?"

WoT/Sailor Moon.

The Silver Crystal, the Senshi, especially Saturn and Pluto. 
'Nuff said. ^_^

WoT/Tenchi.

More really powerful people, one of whom is much older than even the Forsaken.
(if you use the OAV continuity, which I'd do)

And no, I'm not going to even consider writing any of these.
I'm not a big Wot fan. (Err... why are you staring at me? I have the right
to my opinion!)
