The whole thing still seems like a flimsy excuse for Ukyou-bashing.  Either:

1) the god in the story is an evil b*stard who likes twisting people's wishes
around, like a stereotypical AD&D dungeon master granting a Wish spell.
2) the god in the story actually gave Ukyou what she deserved (not just what
she literally asked for).

The story did not seem to be 1), but 2), particularly given the title, and to
say that Ukyou deserves being turned into a dog is pretty much character-
bashing.  (I suspect a lot of people who liked the story have been reading it
as 1.)

(I must admit that the idea that the god had such a poor imagination that he
couldn't think of any other way to make the promise work, didn't even occur
to me.)
