Hi!

	I had a (hopefully) interesting idea for a multi-author fic a
while ago, and never got around to suggesting it.  Here it is:
	The Jusenkyo Tales -- based loosely on the format of Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales.  Essentialy, the story of a group of characters (The
Martial Artist, The Amazon, the Chef, etc. . .) on a sort of pilgrimage
from Nerima to Jusenkyo.  While travelling, they fill the time by
exchanging stories -- each story having some significance to the character
telling it.
	What's nice is that the stories don't have to be Ranma, really --
but could draw from any series or genre.  Ranma telling a story about a
young man unable to choose between two loves (KOR, maybe), would probably
fit, or Shampoo recounting a CHinese fairy tale with obvious parallels to
her own life, or. . . whatever.
	So -- a General Prologue, setting up the pilgrimage, and then the
sequence of character tales, one story each, and a short prologue to each
moving the basic narrative that threads the tales together forward.

	Well, just a little idea.  Anyone interested?
	(I thought I'd handle the Gen. Prologue while leaving the Tales to
other people... if I can find the time.  No way I could write this thing
up otherwise...)

	Later!
