Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
Ranma the Prophetess, Chapter 1The guide is not entirely competent. That is why he is here. The first guide assigned to the area was too competent, and none too wise: he prepared a report to his superiors about the properties and potential of the Springs, and the local villagers were forced to arrange an unfortunate accident to avoid having the whole valley become a top secret military reservation. The second guide, made aware of his predecessor's fate, kept his knowledge from getting to the government but thought he was doing well to keep a squirrel dunked in the Spring of Drowned Dog in a cage to demonstrate the power of the springs to the martial artists who came to train here. This gave them pause enough to listen to the full tour, after which they invariably jumped in powerful springs - tiger, elephant, chimera, dragon, ashura-demon. The almost-wise guide did not survive the resulting war among overpowered martial artists.
And so the villagers used what influence they had to find someone they could control, not too smart, who would offer only the basic tour. If some visitors were too impatient to listen and came to misfortune, they deserved their fate.
