My problem with Shampoo's Revenge is that Jared apparently forgot to include the scene where Shampoo obviously snuck into Akane's room and used her memory altering shampoo to erase half of Akane's I.Q. After all, while Akane's initial reaction to Ranma's altered behavior is reasonable for what we know of the character, her continued behavior utterly ignores every canon precedent.
The direction that Shampoo's Revenge went after the first few chapters reminds me of why I no longer read stories by certain authors. I haven't read anything by AnimeAddiction in years because of an author rant/manifesto that he had on his site. In it he rationalized his treatment of the Akane Tendo character as being perfectly justifiable revenge for the many horrific things that she'd done to Ranma IN OTHER PEOPLE'S FANFICTION!!! That's right, he admitted to mauling her character in every single one of his stories in response to other fanfiction author depictions of her; going so far as to single out Jared's work as proof that the Akane Tendo character deserved whatever was done to her in his stories.
