"Uh oh." Harper grimaced down at his console.

"What?" Dylan looked over.

"I was just checking out the ‘stream and I have bad news."

"Not another ‘Dylan sucks’ thread?"

"Uh, worse."

"There isn’t anything worse than ‘Dylan sucks’ threads."

"John Burke stepped down from his position as fanfic mod."

"Heh, all that R-rated slash got to him, didn’t it?"

"You think this is funny? Do you have any idea what’s going to happen in there? I bet maryavatar is rubbing her hands in glee at the thought of a fanfic forum without JB."

"Don’t worry Harper; I’m sure the new moderator will keep Mary in line."

"Wanna bet? The new fanfic mod is Zion’s Starfish…her beta reader. Remember that little ‘incident’ with the starfish? She laughed, that was her birthday present. Do you want to see more stuff like that on the forum?"

Dylan shifted uncomfortably. "It wasn’t that bad, there wasn’t any actual sex."

"She stuck a crustacean to my…Mr Happy! And have you read what Marissa’s been doing to me? This is just going to get worse: before you know it half the posts in fanfic are going to involve me being butt-monkey to the entire universe."

"What do you suggest we do?"

Harper paused and thought about it. "Okay, I’ll go put on that shirt from ‘Into the Labyrinth’ and the leather pants from ‘Be All My Sins Remembered’ to distract ZS, you dig up some dirt on JB and threaten to expose him if he doesn’t take back his modship."

"Do you really think that’ll work?"

"It’s this or we get Tyr to fire a grenade in there."

"I’m not sure…"

"I hear maryavatar is planning a voyeur fic where you spy on me and Tyr doing the nasty."

"I’ll go hack into John’s private files."

"I knew you’d see it my way. Now, should I go commando under these leather pants…"
