	...Well, two, actually.
	First, making the other fiancees more understanding of Ranma's
situation doesn't have to involve mind control.  Maybe one of them
"stumbles across" the diary Ranma's been keeping since he and his
father left on the journey.  (Ranma didn't keep a diary?  No problem.
Bell has no trouble reading minds, and the wish could easily
"transscribe." ^_^)
	Second... everyone seems to assume that having this
understanding of Ranma would make the girl(s) involved warm and
caring.  This isn't necessarily true.  How -would- they feel if they
were the same person... except for understanding exactly why Ranma is
the way he is?  Ukyou, at least, wouldn't be pleased; Akane would
likely become more angry; Kodachi might lose whatever sanity she'd
retained, depending on just how you interpret her.  Shampoo could go
either way.
	When you get right down to it, that was a pretty stupid wish
for Ranma to make, no matter -how- it's granted. ^_^

P.S.:  I'm temporarily unsubscribing from the list for Katsucon; I'd
appreciate it if anyone who writes a KOR, Marmalade Boy, Maison
Ikkoku, or Devil Hunter Yohko fic could forward me a copy, so I can
C&C them like I promised to do. ^_^
