	Oh yes, and you forgot that it deletes all Ukyo's bad points from the 
Manga.

I have to agree, although I don't think Zen is the *only* one who does
this...

	Anyways if thought my pair of ficts were enough to warrent any naming 
you could add
Brendan: The writer just gets an idea and starts writing with almost no idea 
where it's going till it get's there.
Oh and he likes what if type storylines.

OK, here's some more of these. This is all in fun, and no offense is
intended to anybody!

Cobb v.i. to write or post the beginning of an new story when the author
has one or more stories still unfinished.

Eimii n. apologies in a fanfic (esp. unnecessary ones).

Jamison 1. n. a story (incorrectly) labelled as a "spamfic". 2. v.i. to
write/post a story, or the continuation of a story, after having said "I
probably won't write/continue this one...."

Kleppe n. a pun or other joke included in an otherwise serious drama.

Lawson n. An ending to a story in which everything works out for the
best for all involved. [Yes, I realize that there have been some VERY
notable exceptions to this.]
