#0, Ranma-free zone?

In the FAQ, it states that 'Eyrie Productions is a "No Ranma or Dragonball" Zone.'

However, I noticed in Warrior's Legacy that Gryphon had been to a 'training ground I saw in China once -- all poles and ponds', and I'm wondering what to make of that. The most likely explanation is that it was a simple throwaway reference from a fanfic written likely years before the FAQ, but I still find it funny.

Waiting impatiently to see Valdritkar Sakura,

Zemyla

You'll notice, also, that he thought the place was stupid. :)

Good point there. I think I'll include similar commentary in my own writing.

And this whole thread illustrates a key factor that drew me to Eyrie in the first place :)

MOGSY, not a fan of Ranma (and generally thinks the idea was cute, did not care for the execution one bit, and certainly not worth the number of pages and 'trons generated in its name, but that's another discussion for another time)

Meh, I just chalk it up to it being Rumiko's brand of humor. Inu Yasha, to me, is much more palatable.

"Jusenkyo!"
"Jusenkyo?"
"Jusenkyo!"
"It's only a throwaway reference."
"Shhhh!"

(Insert brief musical number by Ranma 1/2 cast, brought to a screeching halt with the standard scratch-the-record-with-the-needle noise)

"Let's not go anywhere near Jusenkyo. It is a silly place."
