Out of curiousity, have there been any cooperatively-written fanfics

what do you guys think of the idea? 

This is from the Shampoo list.  They dropped it.  Anyone wanna keep this 
thing going?


In order to eliminate those annoying >>>>>> marks that get added on in a 
reply, if your going to add to the instant fanfic, please forward it to 
back to the ML, instead of replying to it, so that we won't get those

Thanx

No contest....Kodachi tries to poison everyone, and gets whacked by 
Ukyou, then akane goes after shampoo who dodges and knocks her aside, 
Kodachi recovers and tries to ribbon shampoo, and ukyou cuts the ribbon 
with her spatula, but it gets caught up in the ribbon.  Akane rejoins the 
fray, and punches Ukyou hard enough that little stars fly around her 
head.  Shampoo dodges Akanes spin kick, and erases Kodachi's memory, who 
wanders off to play with her aligator.  Shampoo says "Now only me and you 
to fight for Ranma.  Shampoo marry Ranma."  Akane gets mad and says "TAKE 
HIM!  I don't even want him."  She storms off.  Shampoo wins.

***

Ranma finally admits to himself that he loves Akane and runs off to find her.

Shampoo chases after Ranma, but accidentally trips on Ukyou's giant 
spatula.  As Shampoo falls, Mousse tries to catch her, but she bangs her 
head on one of the weapons in his sleeves, and falls down unconscious.  

Mousse starts to plan their wedding.

***

Waking up several hours later, shampoo finds herself dressed in a wedding 
gown, being carried towards a traditional chinese wedding ceremony.  
Thinking perhaps that Ranma had finally given in, she thinks to the 
future with Ranma, and their kids.  She looks up to see her new husband, 
muttering "Wuo oy ni"  (spelling) and gasps as she sees.....

***

Mousse, who is running at full speed down the street.  Waking up fully, 
Shampoo smacks Mousse on the side of the head to stop his head long 
flight.  Jumping to the ground out of Mousse's arms, Shampoo procedes to 
pound the stuff out of Mousse with her trusty bonbori.

Cologne (sp?) appears out of the sky and comes to a landing on her staff 
next to the unhappy couple, and says to Shampoo, ".....

***

"Come Shampoo, we must plan for tomorrow night.  Future son-in-law will 
not get away that easily."  Shampoo and Cologne spend the night 
concocting an evil plan consisting of a small dog, a fuzzy stuffed 
crocidile, 3 bananas, and ....

***

a litre of tequila.  Unfortunately, Mousse regains consciousness about 
then, makes his way back to the Neko Hauten and in his blind bumblings in 
the kitchen to to find Shampoo, he knows the kettle over. Shampoo looks 
at the over-turned kettle and starts crying.....

As Mousse walks over to her to comfort her, she flies into a blind rage 
and starts destroying everything in sight.

It is now night, and we see Akane sitting on the roof of the dojo 
crying.  Ranma, who has been bounding all over Nerima looking for 
her, lands next to Akane on the dojo roof and says .....

***

Hi.

***

What is someone as kawaikune and clumsy as you doing up here?  You'll 
probably end up falling off and hurting yourself.

***

Akane starts to cry even harder (fountain of tears).  Feeling like a 
total jerk, Ranma sits down next to her and puts his arm around her to 
keep her from sobbing herself right off the peak of the roof.

Crying more softly now, Akane turns, puts her arms arouns Ranma and buries 
her face against Ranma's chest.  Eventually Akane's crying stops, she 
looks up into Ranma's face and....

***

notices he has fallen asleep.  Akane sighs, picks him up and jumps off 
the roof, when on the way down remembers this is what Ranma is supposed 
to do, and...

***

being distracted by the thought, lands improperly twisting her ankle on a 
rock, and bashing Ranma's head into the wall of the house, knocking him 
silly.  Shampoo (who happened to be making a late night delivery of ramen 
nearby) heard the noise and came to investigate seeing a crippled Akane, 
and a unconcious Ranma.  This would be her chance...

***

Shampoo swoops down in her flying bicycle, picks up Ranma and pedals off 
into the sky.  Akane, helpless to do anything to stop her shouts at 
Shampoo's retreat form, "Shampoo you come back here with Ranma!  He's my 
fiance!!!"

Meanwhile, a very battered Mousse is cooking something on the stove of 
the Neko Hauten.  We see from the title of the page of the cookbook, 
which is lying open on the counter that it's.....

***

A recipe for a love potion.  Unfortunately for Mousse, we can also see 
that the ingredients he has laid out don't match what the recipe calls 
for.

At this point, we hear footsteps, and a shadow appears in the doorway.  
Mousse turns around to see...

***

Ukyou, who had decided to stop by to challenge Shampoo to combat for 
extra training.  (and maybe eliminate one of the contestants in the quest 
for Ranma's love.)  Seeing the cookbook, and what Mousse was cooking, she 
puts some of the love potion into a vial for her own purposes, not 
knowing that the recipe had been tainted.

***

Figuring that Ranma would love her if Akane loved someone else, Ukyou 
goes to look for Ryoga.  Naturally, hours pass without any luck.  Very 
disappointed, she goes back to the Ucchan to plan.

Meanwhile, in a dark room, we see two figures quietly discussing plans 
for someone named Ranma.  A third figure walks into the room, 
turning on the lights and revealing...

***

That it's Nabiki and her evil hench-women.  On the table between the 
first two figures is a can of hair spray, a Gunsmith Cats manga, a bottle 
of Twister, some photos and an SNES controller pad.

Nabiki, who has just entered the room, asks the two seated figures, "Are 
all the elements in place for Ranma's demise?"

Akane, who's still lying on the ground in the Tendo garden, gets up and 
limps off to Doctor Tofu's where she runs into.....

***

Mousse, who has gone out looking for Shampoo.  Mousse gets the idea that 
he could use this to bring Akane & Ranma together, and gives her the 
ramen he made, making her promise to give it to Ranma, and watch him to 
be sure he eats it.

Ranma, who has finally escaped for Shampoo is now running back to the 
Dojo, when he runs into...

***

...Mousse, who thinks that Ranma is actually Shampoo and gives him the 
ramen he made AND insists that he eat it, NOW.  Ranma, being tired and 
hungry from the today's events, thanks Mousse and gulps it all down.  And 
suddenly,...

***

.....his eyes glaze over and he passes out.

Mousse, who by this time had figured out that it's actually Ranma, looks 
at Ranma's body in horror and runs back to the Neko Hauten to destroy the 
rest of the ramen.

Meanwhile, Shampoo who has returned to the Neko Hauten after the escape 
of Ranma, sees the huge plate of ramen that Mousse prepare, puts some in a 
bowl and chows down.

Mousse enters the Neko Hauten, sees the unconscious Shampoo, who has been 
defeated by his ramen attack, goes off to find Cologne so that he can 
stake his claim that Shampoo was defeated by him(again) and now has to 
marry him.  He manages to find her in the basement andthe two of them 
wait for Shampoo to wake-up for her side of the story.

As Ranma regains consciousness, he sees Akane hurrying down the street 
with a bowl of ramen and.....

***

Suddenly declares his undying love for Akane...

***

He gets up, running toward her with an insane look of love and lust in 
his eye, and then leaps into the air with the intent of grabbing her, and 
smothering her with hugs and kisses.  Akane, turning just in time to see 
Ranma flying at her, pulls a picture purfect round-house kick, sending 
him flying into a conviently placed pool, three blocks away.  Akane then 
takes her bowl of ramen, and continues on her brisk walk home, with the 
ramen her family ordered from the Neko Hauten for dinner.

*****

Neko Hauten:
Shampoo wakes up in her room, to see Mousse and Cologne sitting beside 
her bed.

"What happen to Shampoo?  Shampoo feel like 7 day of 6 day party."
"Shampoo, did you eat the ramen in the kitchen?"
"Yes, great-grandmother.  Shampoo thought you leave snack for Shampoo."
"HA, HA, HA.  That's it, Shampoo has to marry me know."
"Shut up, Mousse.  Shampoo going to marry Ranma."
"Not true, look at collorary #116."

Mousse shoves a copy of the Book of Amazon Laws under Shampoo and 
Cologne's collective noses.

..... If an amazon shall eat the cooking of a man and fail to remain 
conscious throughout the meal, she shall have to marry him.  This 
supercedes any claims upon an amazon, even those of defeat in combat.....

"Waahhhh!!!!!  Shampoo has to marry gombah like Mousse.  Shampoo no want to."
"You must grand-daughter, it is our way."

Ucchan's Okonomiyaki Resturant:
We see Ukyou wiping up a batch okonomiyaki.  On the counter next to her 
is the empty vial that once contained Mousse's love-potion(knock-out 
drug).  Giving each okonomiyaki a final flip and writing something on 
them with her "special" sauce, she packs them in a take-out box and runs 
out the door towards the Tendo Dojo.

Dinner time at the Tendo Dojo.  Kasumi is spending the evening at Dr. 
Tofu's, so the duty of cooking dinner falls on Akane.  Fortuantely, she 
decided to serve take-out ramen.  Unfortunately, one of the bowls contains 
Mousse's love-potion(knock-out drug) laced ramen.

Everyone is eatting at the table in the usual manner, except for Ranma, 
who is sneaking glances at Akane over his bowl of ramen.  Everytime Akane 
catches him at it, he looks back into his bowl.  Everyone is about done, 
Ranma gathers up his courage and stands up, "I have something I want to say!"

Nabiki looks up from her diabolical plans for Ranma, "You're going to 
start a one-man cross-dressing show?"

This earns her an angry look from Ranma.  "No, I want to tell Akane 
something here in front of everyone."

Akane looks at Ranma suspiciously.

"I love you Akane.  I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Will you marry me?"

Akane goes into shock, her hands do the thumb, index finger, pinkie thing 
as she falls overs backwards.  (Good thing she was sitting down.)  Ranma 
falls to his knees next to her to see if she's been hurt..

Soun is crying rivers of tears and is blubbering incoherently, while 
waving fans with the rising sun symbol on them.  Genma, who is in panda 
mode, is bouncing around like a hyper-active ping-pong ball waving signs 
that no one is bothering to read.

Ukyou runs from the hall way into the room, crying.  She grabs onto 
Ranma, who now has the unconscious Akane's head cradled in his lap.  
Still crying, Ukyou blubbers, "Ranma, how could you do this.  I love 
you.  I've always loved.  I would've done anything for you.  How could 
you ask Akane to marry you?"

With that, she takes the okonomiyaki that she had brought with her and...
