                  Apparently Richard Lawson decided to release his 'Surreal
                  World: In this episode, everybody in anime you like dies.'
                  at the same time that Nicholas Leifker released 'The
                  Sunset Saga: And you thought that Sunrise was
                  Depressing.'

Naaahhh...Richard-chan would release "Thy Depressing Story".  

You're right, but that was a joke that went awry due to sleep deprivation.
:( 
    :(  
:(

As for 
depressing works from me...Don't tempt me.  

Tempt you? I've tempted you? Excuse me...
(Dials number)

Generic Chief: Yes?

Mark: I'm sorry Chief, the psychological attack didn't work. What's worse,
      I think we've tempted one of the authors to make more fics that
      are depressing.

Generic Chief: I... see. Well, this is not good. It is time to play our
               last gamble. 

<Insert scenes of WAD members negotiating with mercenary Lemon writers.
 A deal is reached between the two parties, and the mercenaries agree
 to send some lemons.>

Generic Chief: God help me, for what I am about to do... (signals a flunky
               to release the lemons)

<Soon, there are three or four Lemon fics winging their way to the FFML.
 Oh _sure_, like you guys don't read them. Readers are quickly distracted 
 from even the idea of writing a sadfic, and the day is saved. Again.>

Generic Chief: Well, if that doesn't distract the readers from the 
               depressing fics, nothing will.

<In the background the mercenary lemon writers rush off to celebrate an
 easy contract and pay worship to their goddess, she of the bap stick, 
 the mighty Kun-chan.>

Apologies to Mr Lawson and Mr Leifker.
^_^

Apology?!?  Okay...for making me laugh so hard it hurts, I accept.  ^_^

(wipes sweat off brow) Thank the gods...

Now I just have to worry about Mr Lawson and RpM. Have I mentioned that
I'm sorry for stuffing up that joke yet guys?

Oh, apologies to Kun-chan now too. I'm just digging my own grave here,
aren't I?

^_^
