Cool, but I _do_ have a minor nit with one of the 'What happened
to the others' snippets.

   Shampoo had been another matter: knowing full well that Shampoo
would not rest until Akane was dead, Ranma decided to go behind her
back and help Mousse train so he could defeat Shampoo by himself and
rightfully earn her hand in marriage.  

	As a member of her tribe/village, I do not believe that Mousse is
subject to the 'Marry What Man Defeats You' law despite the large number
of fics which resolves the Mousse/Shampoo relationship in the above
manner. 
	Personally, I think that if Shampoo is ever convinced that Ranma
would be miserable as her husband and happy as Akane's (no mean feat
considering that 'Violent Girl' is at her worse in 'Poo's precense), then
she would be more willing to figure out a way to worm out of her
engagement and get on with her life than say, Ukyo. 
	Oh yes, I doubt Mousse has any real chance with Shampoo given that
she seems to regard him as more of an annoying sibling than anything else.
