Ok, frosty-usa here.  Before the authors get a chance to strike back
against the characters, I'd like to make a proposal here to come up with a
format for the second series of revengefics.  So on with the story.......

[snip]

	A year ago, with the help of Darren Steffler, a crystaline computer that
his avatar accidently left with him, Hitomi Ichinohei, her knowledge of
dimensional transfictionality, and a infinite improbability drive that
Washu (accidentaly?) left at my house, we were able to construct a really
cool pocket universe.

I admit, I'm not terribly thrilled with this idea. While most of the 
revengefics have followed the template of 'characters arrive, chew out 
author, and leave them cursed', some of my favorites out of this batch -- 
Richard's, for example, or possibly Bert's -- have broken away from it. 
I'm not sure I want to lock down the story format to this extent.

frosty-usa's notes:

OHkay, now I have set up a bit of a backstory that can be followed by those
who want to, but I'd like to also propose something else.  I'd like to see
the 'strike-back' fics as multi-author projects.  I'd like to see them
average out at 40k and please include a good bit of backstory on each
author's training.  

OTOH, I like the collaboration idea. Some of the funnier examples here 
have built on -- or at least referred to -- other authors' fics.
