Here I am, trying to read one of my favorite Ranma fics, when all of the 
sudden, the damn thing cuts out on me.

"Which one was it?  The one where I go out and kick everyone's ass?" 
Ranma asked.

Well, not really....  But doesn't that generally describe all your fics?

"Well, kinda... but in things like MASN, I get really deep and angsty, 
then kick everyone's ass.  Or in Ranma Nibun no Ichi, I get to have a 
lot of sex with Akane, and there isn't really any fighting.  Or in DnR, 
there's some fighting, but more often then not, I'm sleeping on the 
couch.  Or in Thy Inward Love, I'm thinking a hell of a lot more, and 
that has a tendancy to make my brain hurt..."

Gee....  You'd think your voice would be hurting you...

"Not really... Why?"

"Because it's hurting the rest of us." Nabiki quipped.  "Get to the 
point, Jon.  That was rather weak, and it's been too long since I've 
been in one of these things."

Hai hai.  Forgive me, My Goddess...

"Yeah yeah....  State your request, and then get on with it."

Ahem... Anyway, I was reading 'Nerima by Night', when it got cut off 
right as Ranma, Ukyo, and the Wrestling Pig Caern were fighting 
Wrinkle...

*WHAP*

Ouch...

"Show some respect for your elders, boy."

Wr... Wrinkle?

"Damn straight!  You think I like being mistaken for that... what did 
Bat Boy call her?... Mackerel Jerkey?"

But... but.... Cologne was supposed to be here.... Why?

"Oh... That.... Well... ummmm.... You know...."

What....  Why isn't Cologne here?

"Prestation, and all....  Ikindaoweherfortysevenmajorboons, 
andshejustcalledonein........." Wrinkle said as he studied the floor 
intently.

Obaba called in.... Prestation.... on one of the most feared Paradox 
Spirits of all Creation?

Note to self: STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM COLOGNE!

"Note to self, treat the old ghoul with a bit more respect..." Ranma 
said through a pale face.

"Note to self... time to start calling in the favors from Cologne."

It doesn't take a genius to know who said that.  This is my world, 
people, so if you know me, you know who has all the power in the 
Ranmaverse, and most other universes as well...

"Aw... You make it sound so limiting...." Nabiki said through a slight 
blush.

Anything for you, My Goddess.... And maybe some lemon tea later?

"No.  And if you ask me that one more time, you won't have to worry 
about it ever again."

I guess Mom was wrong.  I _CAN_ hurt to ask....

So anyway, I was just wondering if any kind soul has a copy of 'Nerima 
by Night' that they would like to send me.  I would write Bailesu 
directly, but... well... to be honest....  He kinda scares me...  It's 
kinda like asking God to get rid of a hangnail... Sure, it seems 
important to you, but He's bound to have better things to do...  And it 
isn't up on his Elseworlds page...  So....

"Che... Scared of an author...  How can you call yourself a man." Ranma 
asked disdainfully.

"Like you're one to talk, Ranma." Nabiki said acidicly.  "You _HAVE_ 
read Lemonade, Lemon Sherbert, RanmaPunk, and most of Bailesu's other 
works, right?"

"Ummmm...."

"And who always ends up getting the better of you?"

"Biles...."

"So sit down, before I call in a favor."

My heroine!

"Get on with the letter, fanboy." Nabiki said, dismissing me verbally.

Yes, mistress.  My, that was a saucy look....  Anyway... I also have 
some questions to pose to the list itself....

First, how many people are familiar with the 'Forgotten Realms' series 
of novels?  Specifically, the Elaine Cunningham ones?

Okay....  Of those people, who here thinks that there should be a 
Slayers X-over, meeting Lina, Gourry, Xellos, Zelgadis, Amelia, Liriel, 
Fyodor, Danilo, Arlyn, and Eliath?

(Of those people that know all those characters, who thinks Eliath is 
the coolest of Cunninghams?)

Finally, of all the people that think that would be a great x-over, who 
here would write it?
