A long long time ago...there was this guy who wrote fanfics.  He was 
happy writing, it relaxed him.  The occasional ego boost of someone 
enjoying one of his fics didn't hurt either.  Then, there came a long 
period of silence, known to many as The Summer Semester of '96.  Well, many 
is a kind of subjective term...most people in shcool knew it as 
that...anyway, there was this long period of silence.  During this time 
our hero...ok, ok, hero isn't realy accurate either, lets just say 
author, ok?  During this time our author wrote sporadicaly...finaly as 
the odds, that had so recently gone unmentioned, began to even out our 
author found time to finish his stories and publish...er, post, them.  
After this he embarked on another series of stories, titling them:
   A Long Period of Waiting of Several Months
It was intended as a joke about the previous period of silence, and not 
at all as foreshadowing.  Then there came another period of silence, this 
was known as What The Hell Did I Do To Deserve This?  Or as most people 
who knew our author called it, The Period Of Much Whineing...This was a 
time of much pain for our author.  The world seemed as if it had turned 
against him, forcing him to take a second job in techsupport at a local 
ISP. (shudder, the horror, the horror) During this our author learned 
Java and many other useless things, the agony was terrible to witness.  
   Um...anyway, our author managed to write only one story during this 
time.  It was kinda weak, and short.  This was ok, because every 
collection of short stories has to have at least one that kinda 
sucks...Finaly the Period of Much Whineing came to an end.  Our author 
moved to a smaller apartment and was able to quit his second job.  
Unfortunately this new appartment was full of roaches. (very antisocal, 
they kicked me ... er, him out) This forced our author to live in his 
office on campus.  (Whaaaa!)  Thus beginning The Period Of Even More 
Whineing.  There was a bright spot on the horizon...well more of a dim 
spot in the distant blackness realy...uh, anyway the author was able to 
write two more short fics and actualy spell check them.  Which brings us 
to the present.
