	Well, then, here are other author-based nouns (and I'll specify
the above)....

 Oneshot: 99% dark and depressing

I'm not THAT dark....am I? I've written a couple of happy stories....it's jus'
that I hafta think really, really hard to know exactly which ones they are ;)
Okay, now ya go me angry....I'm gonna hafta write a story that has a very happy
ending'. Here goes:

	The rain was soft as it trickled down onto the rooftops. The moon was
high in the sky, the raindrops glistening from the light. The winds were gently
blowing, rustling the autumn leaves on the street side trees.
  Ranma looked out his window, a tear trickling down the side of his face, sad
that Akane was no longer by his side
  "I miss you"

ARGGGHHHH!!!! I can't do it....I can't. I tried to write a happy scene, but I
jus' can't. I've tried, but I've failed miserably. Letme try again...

	Ranma's body lay motionless in Akane's arms...

ARGHHH!!!I did it again....oh well....I guess I'm doomed to write sadfics ;)

Wait! I still have my Ranma's girls....that could turn out to be a very happy
story <OneShot remembers the phonecall scene he wrote>Uh....um......maybe not ;)
