she knows that Ranma loves Akane more than she.  If she really doesn't, then my 
story will have to undergo major changes.

I think if Shampoo really knew that, she'd take stronger measures...Given 
the way Ranma and Akane fight, it would be easy for her to believe he 
DOES like her more...

character personality?)

DUH!  Geez, what an unsubstantiated crack at the rest of the Fanfic universe.

Frankly, I've only met a tiny number of fanfic writers who don't at least 
TRY to be consistent with character personality...only thing is that 
there's often DISAGREEMENT over those personalities...
