Those who read my work -- in particular, the Kai & Logan series -- know that I almost always lead off the story with some sort of threat about what happens to people who use my characters without permission or to those who read and don't feedback. These threats are usually so utterly ridiculous that I really HOPE no one would ever believe them... ;-) Anyways, this topic came up in the #subcafe on IRC, and some of my fellow fic-writers started offering to help me come up with more. We decided to print a collection, so... here they are! Hope you get a chuckle out of them. J
