I'm a little surprised at all this. Only one person had a clue as to
the origins of this twisted little game. I ask you to think back several
months. Kun-chan was being put to the test as were the inhabitants of
the FFML. What was the most disgusting prop or subject for Lemonhood and
could even the queen of the Lemon make it sexy? Most replies were simple
spam posts but a few fics slipped through, including my first. It was an
unususal "Trial by Citrus!" for a Newbei, fresh from the MUD world of
Merdian 59 and looking for REAL adventure. I think this whole thing
struck a chord in me, reminding me of my rather bizarre introduction to
these hallowed halls. The sickest and final word on that little bit of
FFML history was a Dead Parrot and Haggis, that's where that quote came
from.

	It DID get a bit out of hand. My original intention was for the writers
who responded to write fics that could grab and hold their readers
attention, then spin the world on it's head, and yet keep all passengers
frimly in their seats and away from the delete key. To create a literary
Rollor Coaster of sorts. You can't "gross" someone out who simply
refuses to read your story. Oh, and though the ancestor of this was a
Lemon, I really didn't mean this to necissarily be, "Good Things Come"
wasn't. 

	Somewhere along the line, this thing got turned into a platform for
anti-Lemon disscussion. For that I DEEPLY apologize, that was the last
thing on my mind. Just a little challenge to see who could get the most
readers to go "Oh MY GODDESS!" and yet not leap out of their seats until
the ride had came to a complete halt. If you think this an unworthy goal
then I suggest you try it sometime, it's NOT as easy as it looks and
there are a LOT more "Nice Try <delete>" then "That was sick, I can't
believe I just read that whole thing, when's the rest coming?". You'll
also find that being able to pull something like that off will help you
trap and hold your readers in ANY sort of story. 

To Readers: Don't let this little exercise fool you, I saw a lot of good
writers intersped with the gunk. Give them the RIGHT kind of
encouragement and C&C their next fic, the one that DIDN'T make your eyes
bulge.

To Zenki: It WASN'T your fault! Don't take credit for the works of
criminal masterminds, they might just stick you in a "Death Trap" and
wait for next episode to let you work your way out.

To Mike Doherty: Thanks for remembering my first appearance and what
became such a peculiar landmark on my fic writing "career"

To JD Farber: Nice, you took a truly putrid subject and got people to
stick to it with humor and sick fasination. Welcome to the Next Level,
but I'm going to kick your butt next time! (JD and I have been dueling
this out ever since we started the Feeling a little Hentai Thread, I
think I'm a couple of points behind now)

To the Others: I saw too much talent being wasted on my sick idea! Go
out and write something respectable, oh and don't tip your hand so soon,
telling people that they are about to be messed with ruins half the fun
of watching a masters performance. That DOESN'T mean to not tag your
work, just keep their eyes on your right hand while you type with your
left... foot! ;)
