	I mean, to actually say who's saying what here interrupts the
flow, even for such a short bit of dialogue. (I would have rather quoted
something from a Pratchett book, as he does this sort of thing
magnificently, but it's a little late, and I can't remember anything right
now.)
	Ack. Best get to bed.

	This is just kind of an odd thing, and not necessarily a *bad*
thing, but...have ALL the comedic fanfic writers read tons of Pratchett? I
see snippets and pieces of his humor EVERYWHERE in comedic fanfiction
nowadays. I know many parts of Stefan Gagne's (albeit wonderful) Magical
Troubleshooting Crossover Tournament Fighter BETA! seemed very familiar
when I read them, considering all the Discworld I've been exposed too. I
know I've used some Pratchett-esque stuff in The O-Files too, so I'm not
blameless. Just wondering and looking for feedback about that, from the
comedic authors. ^_^
