      Hmm...  Methinks that you made a little too much

jokes with certain authors' works...



I don't know; I thought the allusions rather hilarious,

myself.  It seems to be the whole point, and it's a

fun game.



Glad you liked it ^_^



"What is so good about her and those damn roses?!"



What, no allusion to Lawson's "Roses of Shadow" here? :)



Tried to get it in but couldn't find a way to include 'shadow' in the 

sentence.



Before anything else could be said, Ranma replied.

"Nabiki?!  That would be a very scary thought!



      I don't quite remember who wrote "A Very Scary

Thought," but then I doubt (s)he will care for this

allusion.



Jim Robert Bader.  Possibly not the best allusion,

though undoubtedly the easiest;

to keep in theme, you want a Nabiki-only story, not a

Shampoo-Nabiki-Ranma-Ukyou-Perfume story.



Ranma: But then it would just be a tale of ten yen!



I know, I know ^_^



Ranma: Nabiki's the type of person who would need time to make a choice 

for love or money.



 "Is it Ryouga?"  In a sick

sort of way, it made sense.  They just _had_ some

type of fated couple.



      Hmm...  I can't recall any fics possibly alluded

in this passage...



If there's a title allusion here, I'm missing it also.

Is there some story called "A Fated Couple"?  Nothing

shows up at the RAAC archive.



Actually, there wasn't any allusion here ^_^

At first was trying to have a reference to 'Genma's Daughter' or 'Dew 

on the Grass'



just ran away.  Though, considering their

persistence, it would have

resulted in a long and winding road and possibly

even a bitter end.



      Yikes.  This one is so obvious, it's almost

dangerous.



But it's important to give the game away at some

point in a fic like this, built on others' story

titles.



This and 'Justice' are probably the easiest to notice.



always have to be a dog?!"  Ukyou then screamed out

"There is no such thing as justice!"



      Hoo boy...  Then again, Mr. Kleppe was pretty

harsh to Ukyo in that story...



I think there is an allusion to more than one of Mr.

Kleppe's stories here...  "Unusual Couple" as well

as "Justice".



I forgot about 'Unusual Couple' when I was writing this ^_^



"None of you girls seemed to be getting any closer

to him.  One day he came to the Nekohanten and asked

for my help in improving his martial

arts.  After that I usually helped him out at night.



...underground, in the sewers, where the waters under

earth flow, so that you three would never find out...



I'm almost tempted to include that ^_^



Thanks for the comments!
