I agree with you 100%. :)

Okay, I got a few questions for anyone to answer as you see fit.
1.  Who would you most want to see Shampoo end up with?

Ranma

2.  Who would you least want to see Shampoo end up with?  (try to remain
with plausable possibilities please)

>From worst to not so worst: Happousai Herb Mikado Kuno Mousse

3.  How would you best describe Shampoo's chances against Ranma-kun in
a fair duel (assuming both have reason to fight and will fight their
best)?

Unlikely victory

4.  If it makes a difference, how about Ranma-chan, same question?

Unlikely victory

5.  How would you rank Ukyo and Mousse in comparison to Shampoo, and
each other?

Mousse is inferior to Shampoo. Ukyou is probably more evenly matched.

6.  How many fanfics have you actually read that show Shampoo in a manor
you approve of?  (name them if you like)

Ranma and Shampoo
The fic where Ranma moves to China after he's revealed to be burakumin
Ukyou and Shampoo get down on Ranma (lemon, I wrote it :)
Shampoo 1/2
maybe a few others I can't think of off the top of my head

7.  What is your favorite fanfic?

Shampoo 1/2

8.  What do you feel is the most annoying error of characterisation made
by fanfic writers about Shampoo.

The fact that some writers think Shampoo is not even a possibility for 
ending up with Ranma. :P

Also she's not as stupid as some may think. She just doesn't have a good 
grasp on the language.

9.  Which characterisation for Shampoo do you prefer, manga or anime?

anime

10. Assuming Akane was out of the picture in a acceptably nice way
(she married Ryoga, ran off with Kuno, who cares), do you think Ranma
would choose Shampoo?

First of all I'd like to say Akane should end up with Ryouga. He is in 
love with her (possibly a crush though), respects her, etc... but Akane 
shouldn't end up with Kunou. :P He's just a complete idiot and she 
doesn't even like him.

For Ranma it would be a choice between Ukyou and Shampoo. He could choose 
either of them, I'm not sure. IMHO there'd almost have to be two Ranmas 
so that both girls end up happy. :) (What ever happened to that Nullifier 
spinoff fic, where Ranko, stuck permanently as a girl, seduces Ukyou...)

"Shampoo and Mousse?!  Are you MAD MAN?!!!  That's the worst combo
going!"
-Moi

Nodnod, Shampoo should not have to end up with Mousse. :)
