I will say this: Anyone who wants my fanfic is welcome, but you must EMAIL ME
for it..... a friend of mine copied a chapter from my book. Needless to say I
beat him to a bloody pulp, but since my book is going to be published, and is
not nessesarilly (Sp?) a fanfic, but of my own creation, I am not going to
post it here ^_^
