Y'know, having glanced at Elseworlds 5, I think I'm beginning 
to see a pattern...

The first three ended fairly happily for everyone...indeed, I
suspect Ukyou will be utterly shattered when the timelines
resolve.

The 4th Elseworlds ended happily for everyone except the wisher,
Happosai being Azusa'd to death.

Now we have Ghosts and Shadows...a dark mamma-jamma that ends
pretty rottenly for all.

As I said, a pattern.  Is it deliberate?  Hmmm...

--no, I am *not* John_-_Winston!

Um... no. For a person to BE Shogun, he's gonna have to go through lots of
intrigue, betrayal, and personal crises. He wants to beat Ranma, but to do so,
he'd have to go through a lot to get there. ^_^

Now from what I can tell, my biggest problem is the military battles necessary
to make this fanfic work... I'm just not that good at writing military
strategy/battles. (NOW I kinda wish I paid closer attention to the board game 
Axis and Allies.)

Anybody out there on this list good at military scenes?

elseworlds suggestions for Ryouga and Mousse that's going to give John major
editing headaches)
