Hmmm. Alright I fell I must speak ;] This 'bash the author' idea has
gone a little _too_ far...

Here's a thought, though...

What if someone adds a character that is NOT them and is pure fiction? Is 
that okay? Or is it really just the same as an author fics? Opinions?

Stray characters not in the origional cast are subject to the same
complaints; the character is really the author.

(I know I clipped the names off Sorry!) 

        While I am not a FanFic God (I have met a few...) I have written a
story with a central character that seems to violate every 'Don't _DO_
That!' rule this thread has spawned. While that FanFic is an X-man
FanFiction, I had aspirations (but no spellchecker ;]) to write a Ranma 1/2
FanFic... somewhat along the same idea. 
        My question is this.... If I do write this story, should I refrain
from posting it? Thanks all!
