"THE PEACE TALKS"

(A RANMA 1/2 AUTHOR DISPUTE BETWEEN KUN-CHAN AND TRISH LEDOUX)

Mediated from the Desk of Megane 6.7


	Kun-Chan and Trish Ledoux stood at opposite ends of the table, their
eyes filled with hatred and loathing for one another.  At the middle of
the table, sat Megane 6.7, his glasses catching the light of the
auditorium as the entire mailing list was seated, screaming for an end
to this war, their cries for peace shaking the rafters.

	Then Webdragon walked up to the announcer's mike and checked his
microphone to make sure it was in working order and then he spoke in a
loud clear voice that carried throughout the sea of fanfic writers.

	"Alright you guy and gals, knock it off!  You want peace between
them?"  He gestured at the fuming Kun-Chan and Trish.  "Then lets have
some silence so we can end this once and for all.

	The crowd, realizing he was right, piped down the volume 
considerably.  

	"Thank you.  Hi, my name is Webdragon, author of Nullifier 
122, Namida no Okonomiyaki and Akane Loves P-Chan!   I now turn the
floor over to our moderator for this event.  You may know him as the
creator of Wishing Upon the Same Star, The Legend of Ranko and From Dawn
till Dusk.  Ladies and Gentleman, I present Megane 6.7!"

	Megane 6.7 gently tapped his own mike to make sure it was on. ìThank
you Webdragon.î he said as he turned to address the crowd.  He cleared
his throat and then....  

	"Welcome ladies and gentlemen of the Fanfiction Mailing List, I thank
you for coming.  As you know, there has been a series of continued
skirmishes between one "Kun-Chan" aka Caroline Ann Seawright and Trish
Ledoux.  What was once an amusing rivalry has now gotten out of hand. I
speak, not only for myself, but for the people who have written in to
complain.

	"The fighting must end."  Zen said from the stands.

	"Weíve had more than enough, thank you."  Bengman added her voice.

	Megane raised his hand for silence.  "I know you all wish to express
your views on this matter.  You will all get a chance through the list. 
Now....

	Megane turned to face the two combatants.  "Now if you'll please have a
seat ladies.  We can settle this in a fair and just manner without
unnecessary bloodshed or words best left unspoken."

	Kun-Chan and Trish Ledoux never take their eyes off one another as they
slowly sit down, glaring at each other across the table.  Megane 6.7
also takes his seat as he looks at the reader.

	"Now, since I can't speak for all of you.  I ask that each of you write
in to me what you want to say to these two ladies and I'll add them to
this peace talks and post them on the net accordingly giving everyone a
chance to share their views and hear the views of others.  I also invite
Kun-Chan and Trish to write in as well.  There will be no editing of any
comments whatsoever.  What you write in is what I will post.  At the
most Iíll check for any spelling errors but thatís it.  There is no
favoritism here."

	Megane paused for a moment.  "Keep in mind this is a peace talk so
please try to be civil and let's not turn this into a flamefest.  I am
not trying to make a mockery of your feud but rather try to end it.  I
donít think Iím alone with that sentiment.  So with that....

	Megane 6.7 gently pushes the mike towards the screen....

	"The floor is now yours.  Speak you mind and be heard."
