I can hear SaladWood going off... Watch out for shrapnel.

Finally i was waiting for something like this! now to decide the best fight scene, haiku, or funniest....so many choices...so many venarial diseases......WHAT?!

[FluxGryphon]

SPIFFY! I've been thinking about working on a Fanfic...though not necessarily one for PSO. A while ago I was thinking of starting a Renga in the Fan Works forum. Renga are basically strings of Haiku rotaing between people and syllable structures. It's been awhile since I did one.

This is gonna be good, i started writing my latest PSO fanfic last month. But that is already about 2000 words long and ive only just into the 3rd chapter.. so i wont use that, i might have to go the way off the shorts or comedy.
