Ryoga stagered into the Neko-hanten and shouted, "I've got it! I've
figured out the perfect revenge!"

"Oh?" Cologne questioned.

"Yes, now to put those snotty writters in their place!" Ryoga then
noticed Cologne shaking her head with a mixed expression on her face.
"Don't tell me revengefic season is over?"

"Well, it is November now," the Amazon elder chuckled.

"No! But my plans..."

"But whoever said there was a 'revengefic season?' You don't have to
hunt them down in October. If they given you reason to strike at them,
go ahead."

Ryoga's eyes widen in disbelief. "You mean they won't escape their
punishment?" He then grinned.

"Also, who said those writters weren't being punished?"

"Well, I haven't seen any revengefics recently... though I have been...
away."

Cologne chuckled. "Have you noticed what's happened to some of the
authors?"

"What happened to them?"

Cologne sighed. She then handed him a couple sheets of paper. Ryoga
quickly read over them and was angry and had a faint trickle of blood
running from his nose. "It's one of Archive's ficts. What about it?"

"Well, in the past two months that is the ONLY fiction he's finished.
He's only written around 20, maybe 30K in that time."

"What about it?"

"How much has he written before then?"

Ryoga took a moment to think. "Um, about... well... over a meg."

"Yes, that was in a ten month period of time. He wrote over 100K a month
on average then all the sudden- he barely writes at all. See the revenge
now?"

"You caused that?"

Cologne nodded. "He isn't the only one. Have you seen another part of
Ranma's Curse written in how many months now? What about Illuminations?
There are many authors out there who are suffering 'writter's block' or
'real life.' They don't know who's really behind their sudden inability
to write. That, Ryoga. is a truly perfect revenge. They don't know who
did it and it stops them from writting more things they shouldn't."

Ryoga sulked a bit. "I guess. But I wanted to have Archive spend a day
as P-Chan and see how he likes it."

Cologne raised an eyebrow. "That's an interesting revenge. We may have
to 'add' that to someone's punishment."
