I know stories featuring the children of the Ranma 1/2 cast have been done

Yes.  But this shouldn't stop you from trying your own thing.

Have three seperate realities where Ranma marries Akane, Ukyo, and Shampoo
respectively, and have Ranma's children from the three realities somehow
meet up (suggestions as to how this could happen, anyone?)

In the Ranmaverse magic is the only credible explanation...

Perhaps the Nanban mirror or some experimentation with something 
similar.  Or maybe some actual playing with summoning magic that goes 
wrong...

Actually, howabout Ranma and CO. visit a fortune-teller and all the girls 
start quarreling and then... well the author has to think of something.

Ranma's children
may or may not return to the time of the regular Ranma continuity (I haven't
fleshed out the details yet).

Ah ha.  That seems to be putting mildly.  Where are the children to go?

Also, tell me what you think of my ideas for Ranma's children.

        KENTO and KAEDE: Ranma and Akane's children, twins.  Unlike his
parents, Kento tends to be quiet and calm, concentrating on actions rather
than talking - except when his twin sister is around, with whom he argues
constantly.  OTOH, Kaede has inherited Ranma's arrogance and 
overconfidence, along with Akane's bad temper!  As a side effect of 
Ranma's curse, the twins take on each other's appearance when splashed with
cold water.

So the curses are inheirited, would make for an interesting set of gender 
preferences.  Do they like boys or girls, and does the curse bother them 
in the slightest?

        TEPPEI: Ranma and Ukyo's son.  I haven't really decided much about
what he'll be like - any suggestions here?

Has he inheirited the curse?  I would assume so if the others have.  
Given his mother, he probably has a stronger streak of common sense and 
will be trained in Okonomiyaki style, even if he's not great at it.  May 
as well make him the "all-rounder" who does most things, but isn't 
outstanding at any of them.

        SHABON: Daughter of Ranma and Shampoo.  Slightly airheaded, but not
as badly as many of the characters we see in anime.  As a side-effect of
Shampoo's Jusenkyo curse, she has cat ears and a tail, is very agile, and
likes to sit in trees (fortunately for Ranma, he's gotten over his fear of
cats in this reality). 

The reality Shabon comes from you mean?  One would also tend to expect 
some effect from Ranma's curse on her.

Carries a naginata (a staff with a blade on the end,
fot those of you who don't know what that is). 

Very unlikely this, Ranma is not into weapons and the Naginata is a 
traditional Japanese weapon that no one in her family is likely to know 
much about.
