Oh no, not again.

It's not.

Sorry.  I've seen this in so many fanfics that I assumed it was correct.  
Obviously, I'm wrong.  In that case, would you please provide the 
correct translation?  Or does Shampoo not have a Chinese name different 
than what she is called by the Japanese characters?

My knowledge of Ranma 1/2 only extends to the first five volumes of the 
American manga, and the first three seasons of the Viz anime.  I realize 
that many people don't consider this to cannon, but, since I'm changing 
certain things anyway, don't consider it to be all that important.  I 
will be taking material from manga summeries found on the net for at 
least one later chapter.

I've seen three requests for the first chapter (one was private), so 
will be reposting both it and the introduction (they were first posted 
on New Year's Eve).  There is also a side story that goes with the 
"Horsemen's Ball" round robin that took place around New Years.  Would 
anyone like to see that again, as well?  Private replies, please.

I'm sending chapter three to my prereaders tonight....  Hopefully I'll 
actually get some decent feedback.
