*sigh* People, you're missing the entire point of the fiction.  It's
called Worst Case Scenario for a reason.  Scott's trying to show one way
the story would have gone if the curses were permanent.

(Scary thought: Ever wonder what the Guide does for food?)

Well, in the original, I think that's why he boils his dinner...

Yes, Ryoga's death is sick, and disturbing.  THAT'S THE POINT.

I'm anxious to see the Shampoo scenes.

Oh, this could be fun...(for the author).

Well, it's not very likely Shampoo will become a cat.  After all,
Cologne would know better, and Shampoo isn't going to fall in love
with Ranma.  Fundamentally Shampoo should probably take Ryoga's role, 
the brawny fighter who keeps leaping in and and shouting "Ranma, die!"
Of course, she might be a little more sincere about it.
