I'd originally intended the 'Penultimate Self-Insertion Fanfic Parody'
as a one-shot, shock-humor piece, to be tossed off and forgotten
about...

... but now, my mind is already cranking over the concept of the series
to which the Parody would be the conclusion...

...imagine the following cast, if you will...

*RANMA SAOTOME* - a boy with a curse... who is beginning to get curious
about his new body...

*AKANE TENDO* - an overachiever, champ martial artist, cook, and
student, with no time for romance- or perverts

*KASUMI TENDO* - read 'The Joy of Sex' at 15 and hasn't slowed down
since

*SHAMPOO* - the lonely bookworm of the Amazons, seeking companionship
outside her tribe

*MOUSSE* - macho jerk obsessed with conquering, breaking, and possessing
Shampoo

*COLOGNE* - irresponsible elder of the Amazons, more interested in
meddling with other people's lives than ruling her people

*HAPPOUSAI* - Buddhist monk and master of Anything-Goes Martial Arts,
whose sole weakness is the sight of lacy underwear; it makes him faint

*NODOKA* - Ranma's long-lost sex-fiend mother, total hentai with no
qualms about sex

And oh, I could just go on from there... but I want some outside
opinion... is this worth pursuing, or should I just bury it in peat moss
and use it for compost?

        Very good idea. Might even make mine wilted flowers come back to
life again..
