Ho, ho. The real end (for now):

Process of Elimination -- Book One -- Omake + Author's Notes

-----------------------------

Well, it's been one HELL of a ride, hasn't it? Nearly a year, and easily
my longest project to date, PoE was an experiment to prove that I could
do something that someone said I couldn't do.

It's now halfway over, and the results _seem_ to be in my favor.

Heh. Hard to believe eh?

Minor Cameo roles: Hitomi from The Vision of Escaflowne (Sunrise, TV
Tokyo/Bandai Entertainment), the three Magic Knights -- Hikaru, Umi, and
Fuu -- from Magic Knights Rayearth (CLAMP, Kodansha), Yohko Mano, from
Devil Hunter Yohko (Miyao Gaku), and I believe that's about it.

I really should have done this when I used to use gratuitous cameos. One day
I'll take a few days off and try to.

Chapter 1 Omake

This one was Mr. Sommer's:

Now you're blaming me. Lot of people been doing that lately. Not saying
they're wrong or anything.

Ranma running around laughing, "Now I don't gotta pick any of 'em!"

-----------------------------

Chapter 3 Omake

Ryouga and Mousse wait for someone to mention Ukyou. Konatsu breaks the
fourth wall, and then everyone waits for someone to mention Kodachi. No
one does.

Heh.

Jonathan Rosenbaugh (reaver plushies rule!)
Alexander Primus (more additional great comments)
And last but not least.... Larry F (for hosting, comments, and support
throughout)!

WHEW!

My, what a big list you have.

Omiki trying to challenge Tokimi and some exposition on the original

bargain.

Yakumo and Ranma griping about women troubles together (this was kind of
rewritten into the main story -- you can see what it became in the bus
conversation).

Omiki trying to seduce Ranma (don't ask. Just... don't. It made sense at
the _time_, but...).

Heh. I know that feeling. I've cut stuff like that, when you think it's a
good idea, but it really isn't. Luckily you stop yourself before you put it
in.

having his tongue flick out every few seconds.  After a few minutes of
this, she'd yell, 'Papa-Ranma-san, Ran-oh-ki's (maybe little brother,
instead?  ^_^;) looking at me!  Make him stop!', Ranma would blink and
wonder aloud why that is, then Washu would comment that the rat probably
figured out that Nuku-Nuku is made of metal.  Nuku-Nuku would go 'eep!'
and run away, then Ran-oh-ki would start chasing her.  ^_^;

Ohh. That would have been evil.

Three fiancees for the Martial artist under the sky,
  Seven for the Juraian lord in his halls of home,
Nine for Keitaro doomed to die,
  One for the Panda Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Nerima where the shadows lie.
  One Fiancee to rule them all, One Fiancee to find them,
  One Fiancee to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Nerima where the shadows lie.

hehehehe. Loved that. It's a keeper.

As I said, nice work over all. Enjoyed it from beginning to end. And it
improved with your skills as time went on. Also nice to see something longer
finished around her for a change.

Now that this is over, time to get to work on the next part. Hut, hut, hut.
