I was reading through some of the crossover fics on the list last

hit me and I can't seem to get rid of it has anyone done a Ranma 1/2
Well of Souls (by Jack L. Chalker) crossover?  Maybe with Happousai
and Cologne as Nathan Brazil and Mavra Chang, imagine the shock at
zone if all the Ranma cast with curses went through the Well and came
out as humans stillespecially since the only humans to go through the
Well and come out human for the last few aeons were all Markovians or
became Markovians.  Alternatively they could be changed to other races
but keep their curses that if anything could be more stupefying.

I LOVE this idea! :) I love the Well of Souls series... I just wish that I
had time to finish my copies. -.-

Actually, the Ranma cast would -not- keep their curses. Remember that the
Well World is the central brain for the -entire universe-, and that it can
change things however it likes. If it was going to change them into Well
Worlders, it could damn well get rid of their curses. You might dispute
that it might not be set to "reset" -magic- effects, only physical (such
as the sponge)... but remember that some of the Well World races were
considered "magical" also, because "magic" was just considered something
that the other races didn't have. If a being of one of the "magical" races
(such as the cat-people who half-transformed Mavra) came went into Zone,
he would be changed too, getting rid of whatever magical powers he might
have had. So, in this case, a fusion would be better.

What if Mavra is Ranma (a pretty good match... -maybe-)... and, instead of
the cat people half-transforming him into a donkey, they half-transform
him into a woman, causing the curse effect... I dunno. Anyone else have
feedback on this? :)

Note: I haven't read anything past Midnight at the Well of Souls and
Twilight at the Well of Souls... i.e.: I have no experience with Gods,
etc., etc... though I hope to soon. :)
