Writer's note:  Hey guys, I've _never_ seen MTV's _The_Real_World_ so if
I'm a bit off on the presentation, lemme know.  I figure on dragging in
a total of five, at the most, roomates together, just put'em through
everyday stuff (Who the hell ate all the ramen?!)  Introducing the main
characters oughta be a small story each.  I think.

Considering you've never seen the show, that wasn't far off.  I liked
Ranma's take on the idea behind the show.  If you watch one episode of the
show you'll probably get a lot of ideas for situation in the fic, and
find out how the show generally works.

Is there some sort of video I can rent at Blockbusters?
I don't have cable =(......

 One question: are you going to do
the show, or a story about all those characters being on the show.  There's
a difference.  I thought the idea was to mock the show exactly, but you
seem to be going the story route (not knowing the show, I guess you have to).

Well, I wanna put in the "story format" with mixed interludes of "script/show
format" here and there.  If you've read "Blue Thunder Rising" I'm using
something like that style, except script instead of diary.  I think it oughta
work.  Maybe.  I hope.


Oh, and wasn't this Isabel's idea?

Yeah, it was =) and she invited the ML to write up one big crossover.
Ain't Izzy-chan a genius?
