> BTW, Reid Carson already has a Shadow/Ranma crossover though
that one crosses over with SM, too, along with tons of other stuff.
So I've heard, but I haven't read it. What's it called?
"Apotheosis". Well worth taking a look.
> > "What in the Sam Hill..?"

Who is Sam Hill, BTW? You Americans still have these idioms
that confuse me. ^_^
I have no idea as to the entymology of the phrase, myself. (And, BTW,
I'm not American, I'm Canadian. Them's fightin' words, in some parts o' the
country ~_^) I really wanted to use "Oh my stars n' garters...", but I
figured it was over the top.
Probably a euphemism for "what the hell". This is guesswork, but
the Hill/Hell similarity makes it seem likely (there are lots of other
phrases that feature similar sound-alikes).
> Oooh yeah, shades of Shiwan Khan as you will mention in the
notes and , of course, everyone's favorite oriental Dr. Fu Manchu. ^_^
Oooh! The Devil-Doctor of Limehouse himself! Now _that_ would be a
crossover to beat all crossovers: The Shadow vs. Dr. Fu-Manchu!
Don't count on it. Alan Moore's "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"
featured a Fu-Manchu vs Moriarty battle, with Jeckyll & Hyde, the Invisible
Man, Captain Nemo, Allen Quatermain and Mina Murray (nee Harker) trying to
save the world (or at least England) from the twain ... Now that was a
pretty "ultimate" crossover. :)
Cheers,
