The screen opens to a  young man in a suit sitting behind a news desk.  On the lower right corner of the screen is the channels icon FFNN in black letters in a gray background.

"Hello I�m Josh Temple and your watching Weekly Fanfic Update, on the FanFiction News Network"

"Today is November 7 1999, on tonight�s episode we�ll have our correspondents Jacob Tompson and James Talod give their opinion on recent trends but first the news"

"On Monday Sean corner announced a new web based synopsis submission for the FFML it can be used at this address http://konatsu.dhs.org/synlist/submit.html"

"On Thursday Rebeka Thomas (ranko_1_2@hotmail.com)"

who as you may know appeared on last weeks episode about starting the short lived Matrix fic explosion.

"proposed a year long poll on what is the best anime through the FFML"

"This caused a fierce opposition by the administrators because of the amount of spam it would create and how it had nothing to do with fanfiction the charter of the FFML"

"Rebeka claims that she I being singled out and that the moderators have a vendetta about her"

"However this situation has appeared to quieted down when the FFML2 said that they would sponsor the event."

"In other news Kichigai  at kichigai@ipa.net is looking for a co-author his web site is at http://lavender.fortunecity.com/clockwork/416/index.html"

"And now we have Jacob Tompson and James Talod"

"Jacob Tompson is noted for his acclaimed books "A History of Fanfiction"  and "The complete Anime Encyclopedia"

"James Talod is a professor specializing in the anime/fanfiction subculture"

"It should also be noted that both of these people are slightly mad and that their opinions do no t represent those of Weekend Fanfic Update or FanFiction News Network, and that they should not be taken seriously."

The screen switches to two men sitting opposite to each other, yet angled so that the both face the cameras. On the left is an older man with an air of intelligence he is wearing a scholarly type suit.  The text under his name identifies him as James Talod.  On the right sits a younger man wearing a slick suit the text at the bottom of the screen identifies him as Jacob Tompson.

Jacob: So you�re defending Rebecca I can�t believe it.

James: What its a good idea

Jacob: No its not it will only generate a huge amount of spam and bog down the ML its worse than the ad fics

James: I liked the ad fics, very funny.

Jacob:  You would, you like all those fad fics

James: You�re the one who likes Matrix fics didn�t Rebecca start that

Jacob: So she starts one good thing, besides they�re good no like the wave of crap self insertion and revenge had or ad-fics those aren�t even fanfiction.

James: You paranoid fool think you�re so smart because you�re on the book circuit.

Jacob: Better than a senile old fool.

James: I�M NOT SENILE.

The screen switches back to Josh

"That�s all the time we have for you guys," muttering under his breath, "how did those two morons get hired"
