OK, this idea comes about on a phrase that continually reappears in
my head. It first appeared when RpM posted this fic about joining 
GENOM in an Self Insert.....

You ready for the phrase..........OK.....here goes.........
 
' Kate Madigan, will you marry me ?'

That's the crux of the idea. I hereby challenge anyone out there to
write a reasonably romantic fic with either an author avatar or the
author himself, saying these words in a totally honest manner,
i.e. not under mind-control,not part of an evil master plan, at gun-point
, as a wise crack etc.

Well, I won't be doing it for obvious reasons....and since I know you
FFML guys are totally ingenious and probably some nut out there
has an idea to do this.


I can't believe I suggested that. The heat must be getting to me......

sustain a glow against the darkness. Nevertheless the words I write 
are important, because light is additive. Another's light  doesn't diminish
 my own. Our lights together make us stronger.'
