Warning: the following 'C&C' could easily be taken as a flame. In fact, for
all intents and purposes, it probably *is* a flame. However, the author
*did* ask for open discussion of this, so...


First, let me get the *real* C&C out of the way:

The author of this gar^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hsongfic claims to have created a
template which all songfic writers should follow.

To be perfectly honest, I don't see any major differences between this and
any other songfic, in the way it's executed. To its credit, it does follow
the meter of the original lyrics quite closely, more closely than many
songfics manage to do. That's really the only good thing I can think to say
about this.

As far as being the 'ultimate' songfic...no. It's just a songfic, no more
or less 'perfect' than any other.

Now, on to the rampant flame section of this post:


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!


So I decided to make this to get others into this kind of writing.  I'm
hoping that I can get some open list critism, so that we can get an
understanding on the correct way that these should be done.

Yeah. Any way OTHER than this.



I'm only going to do one, so this is it. However, I claim this to be the
songfic to end all songfics. ^_^ enjoy!!!

It'll be the songfic to end all songfics, alright. You've certainly scared
me away from the idea of songfics for all time...

Hi! My name is.. (what?) My name is.. (who?)
name is.. Slim Tenchi
Hi! My name is.. (huh?) My name is.. (what?)
My name is.. Slim Tenchi

<remainder snipped for sanity's sake>

You know...I can take having to put up with this song on MTV.

I can tolerate it--barely--when it pollutes the radio waves.

But seeing this #@^!$&*#)#^@*@)!!!! song, in any form,  invading my
mailbox, is where I draw the line.

May your blood turn to urine, your intestines rot and fill with maggots,
and your bones shatter like bad glass.



Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to be violently ill. For the next ten
days.
