entire MWMW/CWCW continuity setup (summary: Ranma and Akane love each
other, but are running a scam on everyone to keep their fathers from
forcing them into marriage too early).  Personally, I think the little
setup below is about as possible as the one Barnes put together (no
offence, but managing to con _everyone_!?!).

*shrug*  Stranger things have happened.  In real life, no less.  But
that's beside the point.

	That being said, now that I think of it the general setup (as
opposed to the details) below could in fact be mutually compatable with
Barnes' basic idea.  And no, I have no plans to continue it.

Actually....this is a damn fine piece of work.  It's a little hard to
reconcile with the original manga (but then, so is CWCW) but it remains a
very entertaining read.

It's actually a shame you're not continuing it.  Its one of the more
entertaining ideas I've seen for Ranma.

Besides, Ukyou and Shamps make such a CUTE couple.
