*sigh* People, you're missing the entire point of the fiction.  It's
called Worst Case Scenario for a reason.  Scott's trying to show one

way

the story would have gone if the curses were permanent.

Nasty place this version of Jusenkyo.  Personally I tend to feel that
it's not as bad as the Jusenkyo that eventually overwrites the soul, or
the one that rewrites the mind when it does the body.  But it's still
pretty scary... enough to put one off visiting the cursed springs. ;-)

One would think the original Jyuusenkyo was bad enough, but no, there are 
still foolish self-insert authors willing to drop in....

Yes, Ryoga's death is sick, and disturbing.  THAT'S THE POINT.

An off-hand remark about boiled pork (which Ranma never got to taste I
might add, the Panda and the guide ate it all, remember) and people get
all upset. ;-)

Heh.

I'm anxious to see the Shampoo scenes.

Shampoo doesn't go to Jusenkyo until after she turns up in Nerima and
goes after Onna-Ranma.  Assuming she doesn't carry through with her
mission, she should be well warned of the dangers, while if she does
carry through - then she doesn't need to go to Jusenkyo.

That's a good theory....

SKJAM!
