(Just thought that since I was working on selecting those that I was going to
prod, I might as well add some extra spice to the announcement.  Hey, I see
this all the time on the FFML, not that Tybalt works to cut down the volume of
spam.)

(BTW, to those [un]lucky few that I've picked, sorry that you're receiving
this twice, but I wanted to make sure that you got the message.)

(One day, the mighty Mouse roared, seeking new members for the DBTFH.  And
from the darkness of Dewey, IL, a voice answered.

"I'll help."

Be afraid.  Be very afraid.)

(scene:  a small room in a familiar apartment building.  Seen in the
background is the door with the '5' seen backwards.  Set up on the desk in the
foreground is a computer.  Surrounding the computer is three males.)

Yuhsaku Godai:  Now tell me again why we're meeting at my place?

Paama:  Well, my parents won't allow me to invite strange people to my place.

James (at the computer):  [Now we know why Urusei Yatsura never uses his place
for any shots]  And since you're animates, you would be really out of place at
my home.  But at least since we're here, your neighbors won't come barging in.

Godai:  Wanna bet?

Paama:  Now as to why this meeting?

James:  Well, I wanted to introduce my FFML .sig characters, and make an
announcement.

Godai:  And that is?

James:  Well, since I volunteered for the DBTFH...

Paama:  What's that?

James:  Well, we choose to gently prod some unsuspecting fanfic writer into
coming up with new material, or at least get to see what's new in fanfics.
Get it?

Paama:  Sounds complicated.

James:  Well I see it as a chance to get to know more people on the Internet,
or at least the FFML.

Godai:  But why are we here?

James:  I need some moral support, as well as help in keeping track of the
authors that I'm helping.  And Paama is the chief bottle washer for this merry
band.

Paama:  Thanks a lot.

James:  And so, here's my choices for prodding (as in the [un]lucky few):

<John Walter Biles		rhea@maison-otaku.net>
I'm looking for the next part of Marmalade Moon.

<Mihoshi				mihoshi@eudoramail.com
6/4	Dain Bramage (teaser)>
Well, I did mention this to Mouse. ^_-

<Henry J. Cobb			hcobb@slip.net>
Knowing that he's posted more UY fanfics than most others.

Okay people, there's a new prodder in town.
