Hi.  This is a blurb mail.  All my previously written author's 
stuff for the fic posted to FFML2 and ronin as Switch will be
written here, and a bit more, so IF you've read it, OR have heard
of it, AND, IN ANY CASE, have concluded that it's not worth reading:
TRASH THIS NOW.  Otherwise, beware;  I will natter continuously.

        Switch is a rather long winded story which occurs sometime 
after the anime ended, and is based mostly on both the anime and the
manga, as dubbed and translated by Viz.  (For example, I describe 
Akane as left-handed)  The man is not a completely original character, 
and is based on a very popular fantasy novel, which I am loathe to 
reveal right now.
        While not completely IC, the characters (20!  I counted 20)
are given almost free rein to do as they please, so that the go on
and fix their own machinations, or tripes, or ires, in the background
of an event that will blow-up at the end of the third day of H&S.
        It is entitled Switch because of a multitude of switching
to go on, several trivial, others integral to the story.  I am named
Switch because of... well, that's my secret.	
        H&S makes use of several herbs, spices and other edibles
featured in both incarnations of Ranma 1/2, although some of them 
have been gleaned over from soon-to-be featured episodes and comics,
without much thought or research.  (The dragon hair was supposed to
have lost effect at the end of the second episode in the anime)
        As I am not well-versed with writing fight scenes, I started
practicing here by producing five scenes (see if you can find them).
        On the other hand, my "experimental" bit in Just Damp could 
be more than confusing, and I can only say that this, and much of 
the other hoopla will be explored further as the introduction (yes,
this is just part of the intro) of Switch unfolds.
