Justin Richards:

> I ve sat in front of a CPU as it fuses and burns.

Dave Owen and I would like to confirm that this is how Justin keeps his
heating costs so low.  Mind you, like many of the characters in 'System
Shock', Dave and I are not real people at all, but objects only
accessible
through messages to our defined and declared methods. These methods
include:
money, beer, sex, beer, and beer - but remember, you have to use the
right
parameters when sending us messages before we will execute the method.
Pay
attention, as you may have the opportunity to try these out in an
appropriate
environment (Tavern or PanoptiCon, for example).

PS: You'll notice that the apostrophes in Justin's post are also not
real
    characters.  (A little codepoint joke there for all you
programmers.)

Private Messages to Paul

The Paul Cornell Fan Club of North America realize that some people
may not be able to attend any of the personal appearances that Paul
will be making in the US. We offer you another way to express yourself
to Him.

You may send a personal message to Him via the r.a.dw newsgroup.
Messages can be sent either via electronic mail or mentioned in passing
to Dave Owen over a beer at the Charlbury Tavern.

Because PCFCNA will become responsible for these messages we will
be reading each one and removing any that fall within the guidelines
listed below:

1. No sexual allusions or sexually descriptive passages (excepting
   references to running your hands through Paul's haircut).  If in
   any doubt, use the criterion: would I expect to read this in one of
   Paul's books?
2. No personal attacks.  If you can't say something positive, then try
   to use the @ symbol.
3. No book proposals.
4. All messages to be in blank verse.

This still leaves a pretty large area of communications for all of
you, but please be aware that any responses will be at the whim
of the PCFCNA.  If you can send a SASE, then that's a pretty darned
clever thing to do over the net  and you should copyright that
technology
pretty darned quick, or claim it as an unpublished excerpt from "System
Shock".

That's nothing.  I took the tape out of the cassette, folded it down the

stuffed the resulting pile of magnetic tape into my sink disposal unit.

       [The scene is a War Room of a military organisation.  There is a
huge conference table dominating the middle of the room, with a bunch of

very serious-looking men sitting around it.  There is a massive assault
rifle mounted on the wall behind them.]

GENERAL:  Men, we've got to do something about this latest attack.  _The

Romance of Crime_ is just too much of a weakling comic story."

VICKERS:  Well, sir, there are all those scenes of extremely gory death.

GENERAL:  True, Vickers, but there are all those *jokes*!  We can't have

that in a serious story, can we?"

GATLING:  And those characters ... they can't keep a straight face!
There's
not a decent one amongst them!

STAPLE:  Well, Pyerpoint never cracks any jokes.

GATLING:  True.  And Xais doesn't either ... but they're just straight
men!

STAPLE:  And women.

GATLING:  [testily]  Yes, yes.  But the point I'm trying to make is that

this book makes a mockery of serious fiction!

GENERAL:  I think we can all agree on that, Colonel Gatling.  The
problem
is, how do we correct this problem?  Where are this book's weaknesses?

NAIL:  Jason Miller says the humour intrudes on the narrative.

GENERAL:  Hmm ... possibly, but I don't agree.  Frustratingly enough,
Roberts manages to keep the humour fairly well under control.  But it's
still there ...

DISINTEGRATOR:  I say we should just blast 'em into --

           [DISINTEGRATOR is interrupted by a loud, explosive bang! from

the corner of the War Room, as a huge chunk of wall is blown away.  A
large
crowd of people burst into the room.  They are all wearing dresses.]

PARTY:  Hold it right there, Guns!

SUN:  [suggestively] Ooh, hold what, then?

GENERAL:  How *dare* you!  This is a private --

PARTY:  Oh, do shut up, will you?  We're raiding your room, and nipping
this little plot in the bud.

STRAPLESS:  Hey!  These ain't no buds of mine.

SUN:  Pretty weak, Strapless.

STRAPLESS:  Fair enough.

GENERAL:  Wait a moment.  This is laughable.  [turning]  Gatling,
Vickers!
The gun cabinet, in the corner --

            [Two of the invaders, holding massive rifles, step forward
to
cover GATLING and VICKERS as they head for the cabinet.]

PARTY:  Not so fast, gentlemen.  We're gun-toting Frocks.

GATLING:  [swearing] Curse!

PARTY:  Yes.  You see, we cannot allow you to stop _The Romance of
Crime_.
It's possibly the greatest work of frock fiction in the history of Who.
Fantastic stuff.

MINI:  Ooh, yes, it's great!  It's fantastically funny, with highly
amusing
characters like Spiggot and Stokes, and the writing for the Doctor, K9,
and Romana is just *heavenly*.  Some of those lines ... [she stifles a
giggle] ... like that scene where the Doctor and Romana are being taken
away by the guards: "I'll have some of what she's drinking."  HAHAHA!

VICKERS:  You can't be serious.

PARTY:  Of course not.  But we haven't much time to engage in witty
banter,
amusing though that would be.  Sun?  Strapless?  Tie them up, would you?

          [Various of the invading Frocks pin the Guns in their seats,
and tie them up securely with flowery ribbons.]

PARTY:  Mini?  Set up the projector and screen.

          [Mini sets up a large screen in front of the War Room, and
sets
up a video projector in front of it.  She puts a videotape in the
projector.]

PARTY:  Well, gentlemen, it's time to bid you au revoir, I'm afraid.
But
we've rigged up some entertainment for you while you struggle against
your
bonds ... this tape has "City of Death", "The Time Meddler", "The
Sunmakers",
"The Happiness Patrol", and "Time and the Rani" set up on a continuous
loop.
Bye!

          [The Frocks depart from whence they came.  The Guns begin to
struggle wildly, as the title sequence for "City of Death" starts up.]

GENERAL:  [panicking]  No!!!  No!!!

NAIL:  General!  Maybe it's really "Seeds of Doom"!

          [The title on the screen read "City of Death"]

GENERAL:  Shut up, Nail.

No, look, it'd be great. You could combine the two, and have

Cornell would write brilliant things so you'd give up in frustration,

Rec.Arts.DrWho Exclusive!

                         HALIBUTS.

In dramatic last minute developments over the weekend,
Ericsson Telecommunications Ltd clinched a deal to sign
Richard 'Oh la-la, the Halibut' Salter for a non-recording
breaking fee to press buttons and lick computer screens for them.

His job will start in a month, and he'll have complete and
unrestricted net access again.

                         CARP.

People the world over celebrated, and the Dow Jones Index rose
by thirty points at the prospect of many more years of bad sig files,
'The Rec.Arts.DrWho Quote File' returning, and really crap jokes.

                         BEARDS.

There was panic at the last moment when Halibut revealed that he knew
employee's Jon M Massey and 'Mike Teague(TM)', and thus opened himself
up to the question;

'Oh no, your not *another* bloody Doctor Who fan are you?'

Luckily all was saved when Halibut quick-wittedly replied;

'No, I just have this thing for men with facial hair'

and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

                         BEER.

JonM was quoted as being 'delighted, and a bit hungover'
because Halibut now owes him 'piles of beer'.

I've got the idea for a Troughton, Ben and Polly MA, and
to simultate that authentic Fourth Season flavour, exactly one-sixth of
the narrative is going to be missing, and in it's place will be a couple

of
dozen words narrated by Ben Jackson:

'Well, the Doctor escaped, and fled across the jungle pursued by the
Ugloids. Meanwhile, Jamie made a startling discovery...'

How long have you been here? Do you not know that the purpose of
radw is to waste time? Time that I sit here collecting, folding up
neatly, and sending off to the Master in small blue packages.
Eventually, when we have enough, we shall use it to change all
dictionaries to the Yads spelling system (tm), and in the confusion
take over the world! Mwa ha ha...
