Hey, ya'll,
	I bet nobody knows me but I have a really interesting idea (thanks to 
Pheonix's new fic). So here it goes a paradoy.
	What if one placed some of the cast of Ranma (not all, just some) in 
the world created by Robert Jordan in his "Wheel of Time" series? I 
mean, think about it, a lot of the characters in his books can be 
reflected in the Ranma series. Here are some examples of how I think 
some of the characters could be protrayed.

	Basically, what I'm trying to do here is to have the feel of "the Wheel 
of Time" series and the slapstick, martial arts feeling of Ranma 1/2. If 
ya'll think ya can do this, or know of a series like this, drop me a 
line telling me. And if'n ya'll feel like adding on to the list, feel 
free (course, I doubt I needed to tell ya'll that).

(sigh) (deep breathing...)

IT'S BEEN DONE.

Read "Ta'averen 1/2" by John Biles and Jeremy Blackmun.  

Now...

For all those young, fairly new writers out there, a word of advice: Read
as much of the old stuff as you can.  Ask around for where it is.  White
Wolf has a page loaded with the stuff.  The veterans have their favorites,
and will tell you them if you ask.  This was an influence on our writing
when we were starting out, and it would be a GREAT source to anyone who's
trying to begin writing Ranma fanfic.

		Kudos,
