	I just need to say that the following segment from White Wolf's recent MST
is the funniest damned thing I've ever seen:

	Down below a dark figure materializes out of a beam of energy, 

Wolf: Past tense please.

and begins to creep towards the house.  With a quick flip of a switch
he

deactivates the two Royal guardians and continues toward the house.  Up


Wolf: Past tense please.

in the tree the monkey is awakened by an unusual sound.  He looks down

to notice the stalker approaching the house.  Sensing danger he quickly

transforms in Monkey!!

Wolf: Past tense please.  And what the hell does that mean?

	Monkey quickly flies down to intercept this strange creature.  

Wolf: Past tense please.

The Stalker quickly spots Monkey and begins its attack.  Monkey easily 

Wolf: Past tense please.

dodges the creature's energy blades and retaliates with a sonic howl.

back.

	Seeing his enemy flee, Monkey looks into the sky and using his

about them.  With a defiant screech, he propels himself into the air at

	And to make this post have a BIT of meaning. When you are writing a fic,
read it back to yourself every now and then. ALOUD.  You'll find these
silly mistakes much easier.

	3rd person is ALWAYS in past tense, in case you didn't get it from the
above segment.
