Waterproof soap would do it

I'm going to assume they grew there, but that is pretty funny.

Cool. Another plot hole masterfully exploited.

Nyanniichuan, tragic story of girl who was too popular with men and women, driven too suicide by her many relentless suitors.
Shonmaoniichuan, tragic story of fat, lazy, good for nothing, circus panda driven into pool after eating all of the provisions.

You don't actually have to go in a spring to
drive a pole in. Of course water proof soap
and some precautions would still be a good idea.

I like the way you added in the characteristic's
of the animals the curses came from. Nice touch.

I thought the reason was obvious to everyone. It's magic.

I think that's a great one.. if he ever finds a answer, my bet is it's the Musk, or others that go there a great deal.

Try Master Magi's stuff, it's a genre all it's own, but it handles Akane and her getting the curse in a number of intriguing ways.

Thank you. You've ruined my holiday weekend. Now I will be up all night wondering how those dang poles were placed in the pools.

This story is a stroke of genius. Great job!

Interesting question, I never thought about it before

...well, looks like another sleepless night. (walks off, scratching her head and muttering)

Akane? Nannicuakan? Dont say it out loud! (I'm already writing it...) Ah, But it was a nice little story! and mebbe the Guide doesnt know everything!*shocked*

*falls over laughing.* that is so great! frankly I've wondered the same thing.

hehehe ^_- That was kinda clever...too bad you didn't go into the tragic story of Ranma's curse (or the panda's...). Oh well, it was still cute :)
