To all:
I just noticed the CC: field on the original message, which my
Eudora ignored, so I thought I should manually forward my reply.
Imagine!  My first chance to reply publically, and Eudora blows it!
Sorry if you get this message twice.

Video Game Addicted Person:

Thanks for emailing!

I realize, after reviewing the teaser, that someone might get
the impression that this is a story about Urd and Ranma ---
because they want it to be a story about these two and only
these two.  Unfortunately, my warped brain does not work in
obvious ways.  Urd introduces the story and meddles.  Ranma
gets in the way of the real hero and threatens to take away
the hero's chance to save his true love.

No, there were no Ranma characters in the teaser, because the
teaser was to set up the situation and prepare the reader for
the lunacy which was to follow.  Yes, this is a story set in
the Ranmaverse.  No, Ranma is not the main character.  The main
protagonist is Hiroshi, who wants to act like Prince Charming.  
Before you hit the delete key, give it a chance.  All will be 
explained in the fullness of time.  

Ranma is in the story.  However, as the story plays out, you
will see more of Hiroshi, who is traditionally a supporting
character, and not so much of Ranma (although Ranma does play
an important role).

This is NOT the traditional Cinderella story.  It is about wishing,
though, and Ranma does have a wish (You know what he would ask for).
He gets a chance to ask for a wish from a real...make that a
qualified...acting fairy god-mother.  After the usual unusual
martial arts contest, of course.... ^_^

And the fairy godmother is.... Well, this IS a Ranmafic, isn't 
it?  ^_^  

Let me hold a few surprises back for awhile...at least until 
the first chapter!

	Uhh... The story was very well done, and it
was more than funny enough, with no grammar mistakes
I could spot, but... Where is R1/2? Unless one of the
calls Urd received was from Nabiki, I don't see the
connection.
