You know, that gets me wondering.  How many, if any, of the people on the
FFML are professional writers?  I know that some like D.Fire, and
Metroanime, Twister, Legion, and a good many others quite probably could be
if they set their minds to it.  And I have my suspisions about Hitomi since
I think her Spidergirl character is the same one that's recently gotten her
own comic series.  And the fact that Hitomi's showed up earlier (though I'm
not certain about the timing because I don't have a very good comic book
store in my area) makes me wonder.

Not a professional fiction writer, but I did sell some magazine articles to
some p[rogramming magazines in my younger years. So I guess that technically
means I've gotten paid for my writing. :)
