Well, given the collection of Fanfic authors she's building up.. Darren,
Bert, White Wolf, Jeanne and herself, either she's trying to corner the
market or going to produce an interesting story...

Hmm. I've already snagged Zen, Webdragon, Nightelf, Frosty... what, are
we going to have an Author-Insertion War here? The battle of the Fanfic
conglomerates? ;p

Maybe I should go after Gryphon and Megazone, then (Ringers! Ringers!)

In the not too distant future, we can see...

Two rather heavyset men in suits follow a balding bespecled... accountant
up to a suburban house.  They are eyeing each other off carefully, as
though one of them should not be there.  As they reach the door, the
accountant gives them both a cold stare, then reaches for the door
knocker.

<knock knock>

The jingling of a safety chain is heard, then a thud and the door opens.
A youth stands in the door, blinking muzzily at the light.

"Yes?"

The Accountant wheezes, "Joe Blow?"

"Yes?"

"We hear that you've been writing some stories."

"Oh no, not at all."

"About Anime."

"Certainly not."

"Fanfiction in fact."

"Oh, *that*.  Whats this leading up to."

"Well, since you are, 'in the business' so to speak, you have to decide."

"Decide what?"

"On who you want to be written by and with.  For the Big Author Insertion
fic."

At this both of the men in suits stop glaring at each other, and start
glaring at Joe.  "Come on boy, we haven't got all day."

"Ummm... and if I don't?"

"The two gentlemen here intend to break your hands.  Slowly."

"urk."
