Subject: I'm going to attempt to prove a point...

This debate on "original fiction with anime flavor" and whether or 
not it will be read by the collective FFML has gotten me to thinking..
.and has forced me to do the one thing I swore I would never attempt 
(other than a lemon).

I'm going to, for the purpose of proving that it just doesn't work, 
write an original fiction, with anime-style themes.

My hypothesis is:

-More than 70 percent of the FFML will see the "Original" tag and 
delete it without a glance.

-Of the remaining 30 percent, half of those will lose interest one 
paragraph into the story.

-Of the remaining half of those, only 25 percent will offer any type 
of C&C at all. 

Now, as of this post, I haven't conceived of the theme of this story 
yet, or how long it will be. 

To make this a fair test, I'm not going to deliberately make the 
story a piece of shit. I'm going to put the same effort into it I put 
into all my other stories. 

Well, I'll be posting it later today. We'll see what happens....
