	Look, I don't know what planet you're coming from, but I do write for 
pleasure.  So, probably, does this guy.  However, if there's no demand for 
any fic that I'm writing, I'll drop it, because I have other things to do 
(like work on some other fic) and I don't want to waste time, bandwidth, and 
space on something nobody wants.
	As for people requesting more, it doesn't happen often on this list, 
but on some other lists I've been on it is a pretty normal thing.  This is 
because there was the general assumption that the author has something better 
to do then to write fanfic.  (Like try to sort out the HR jihad, probably one 
of the worst semi-constant flamewars out there...)
