Okay folks, for my 'Possibilites' series.

I wonder if you considered one thing in this series. While all the 
girls
history is mutually exclusive of each other, are any of them mutually
exclusive with Ranma's present?
Meaning that can Ranma say, "I won't be having this child because I did 
A
back then and she says I did B." And we're not talking about simple 
things
like what he had for breakfast that day. I mean something significant 
that
cause him to choose 1 girl instead of another.
To make things interesting, set things up so that the significant 
events
that lead to Ranma choosing a girl over the others take place in the
"future" of this fic.

It would open the way for jokes such as this, most of this is teaser.

Think of it this way, you won't be able to use it too often with it 
becoming
annoying.

Okay folks, it has now officially been decided, by a vote of 16-5 that I 
will be using option number 1.

As for this suggestion.  That has been the point from the beginning...  
sort of.

I have had it suggested to me that the girls appearance influence his 
choice, which it will with the final piece.  But my plan as of right now 
is to simply have each plotline follow a basic series of events.

Those of you who have visited my webpage have probably read the 
beginning of Fragile Flower.  I opted to write this one first because 
the Key Event is Kodachi's attendance of Furinkan.  Her battle with her 
father decided this and is an event that will take place in all the 
fics.  The difference is, that in Fragile Flower she loses to her 
father.  There are several events like this that you may notice.  I've 
taken the advice that the fic influence itself very seriously and there 
will be small shades of it.  But it has not yet been determined if I 
will rewrite Fragile Flower or any of the others to reflect this.  
Watching Timecop once made me dizzy, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to 
handle it.

Thank you all for your advice and support.  All flames were redirected 
back to their suppliers a hundredfold.
