I admit, I'm not terribly thrilled with this idea. While most of the
revengefics have followed the template of 'characters arrive, chew out
author, and leave them cursed', some of my favorites out of this batch --
Richard's, for example, or possibly Bert's -- have broken away from it.
I'm not sure I want to lock down the story format to this extent.

Yes, Zen loved Richard's story - perhaps the most chilling of the lot...
Though, speaking of chilling, Zen does wish that Kei would let Zen turn
down the damned air conditioning... Brrrr!

On another note, Zen would like to know just who started this into revenge,
per se... As Zen remembers, it was a whole lot more benign in the
beginning...  Scott doesn't seem to have it so bad.  Then again, Zen could
be a lot worse off... Poor RPM got the Nissanichuan...  Zen was wondering
if anyone would get that one...

OHkay, now I have set up a bit of a backstory that can be followed by those
who want to, but I'd like to also propose something else.  I'd like to see
the 'strike-back' fics as multi-author projects.  I'd like to see them
average out at 40k and please include a good bit of backstory on each
author's training.

OTOH, I like the collaboration idea. Some of the funnier examples here
have built on -- or at least referred to -- other authors' fics.

This is true...  It is one of the things that has made this so much fun... ^_^
