    Trying to answer in half-English, half-Japanese earned him an odd look
from the Yellow Sister and the divided (not yet undivided) attention of a
Brown Sister.  Finally, the Yellow Sister put her hand on Akane's forehead
and her eyes widened.  Ranma couldn't quite follow the rapid conversation
the Yellow had with the Brown, although one word that came up often was
'channeling'.

    As Akane was taken inside the Tower, Ranma tried to find out what was
going on.  He was explained that the fever had occured because Akane had an
emerging channeling talent (of course, Ranma understood only half of it).

I take it they've been wandering for a while?  It takes a couple of weeks
after the first time you touch the source.
 

- How did the Nerimians end up in Randland in the first place?

My suggestion would be to have someone go see the Foxes and the Foxes pull
Ranma and company into Randland in some weird way of granting their wish
:)

Depending on exactly what happened to the Twisted Doorway in Rhuidean, if
you put this post Shadow Rising, someone could go into there and produce
them.  Or maybe a Wise One trainee goes in if you want to put the story
earlier. Then by a long chain of seeming coincidence, Ranma and company
could fulfill the wish.

OR if you simply make Nerima part of a future Age, the Nanban itself COULD
send them there, since time in Randland is a circle :)

- How long 'till the Aes Sedai figure out Ranma's gender curse?

The real question is whether they can cure it and duplicate it.  
 

- How many Warders could Ranma take on at once?

And how long will Ranma survive when their Aes Sedai open up on him? :)

- What happens if you hit a Portal stone with a stray Hiryuu Kourin Dan?
(Assuming there *is* such a thing as a stray Hiryuu Kourin Dan in the first
place...)

A what?
Which move is that?
 

- Would angreals and sa'angreals work with chi?

No.  If they do, then Chi IS the one power, and Ranma's gonna start going
mad pretty quick at the rate he uses Chi.
 

- How does a macho *male* martial artist survive in the White Tower?

He either ends up as a warder, or they throw him out.
 

- How long 'till Nyneave tries to balefire Ranma?

Nynaeve never returns to the tower after she learns balefire, so he'd have
to go to her :)

- Would Onna-Ranma purposely flunk her tests to get out of the Tower?	You
bet!  Would the Aes Sedai let her?  No way!  ;)

No.  I think Ranma would be constitutionally incapable of failing her
tests.  Ranma might want out, but he'd want out in some way that didn't
say 'Failure' on it.
 

- Will Jeremy ever continue Ta'varen 1/2 so I won't feel Compelled to
write this? (Moghedien, Liandrin, stop that!)

I can pray :)

- Will Biles ever finish Parallel Lives so my soul can rest in piece and
not RIP the offending author into shreds? (puns are fun!)

I'm working on it slowly.  I think I finally figured out how to avoid some
problems that were mentally paralyzing my progress.
