I have one thing to say about this.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Jason, Victim of the Longniichuan, J-ryu

                       would you have rather i used "Whoppers"?
"Pixie Stix"? "Mounds"? Maybe a videotape like "Bambi"
or "Dumbo" or...
                        "Spells R Us" is one of those nasty evil
things in webfiction, and i can just see Beryl's boss being
in cahoots with the common version of the proprietor...
                         hmmm. this is nasty enough that i think i'll
throw it out there and see if anyone's got something nasty
they'd like to see used by this guy.
                         (i ran across one story where a "hunter widow"
wants attention from her hunter husband and the storeowner
convinces her to buy some buckskin boots. which of course
turns her into a buck. in deer season. i think this qualifies as
rather more evil than Happosai...)
                          mind you, if it's a story, i'm writing, the good
guys will be rather more likely to win in the end than ANY of
the victims in the common web stories...
                         hmmm. If "Bambi" turns the viewer into a
Vegas prostitute of the same name (yes, there is such a story)
then what would "Mulan" or "Snow White" do?
                         ("Oh no! Airen fall asleep! What we do?"
                          "He was watching Sleeping Beauty? Oh no,
there's only one way to wake him up!"
                          "Ah, Nabiki clever. How Shampoo wake airen?!"
                         "Go boil some hot water, Shampoo." Nabiki snickers
as Shampoo runs off. "Now then, Ranma-kun....")
                         Nasty possibilities here.
