Those were great stories. BTW, I didnt know FF existed outside of [FanFiction.net](http://FanFiction.net).

I wonder why the tv networks dont use these stories more often? Better than just doing more reality shows.

Reality shows are really, really cheap to produce. And IMHO, it shows … they almost uniformly suck. (I just threw “almost” in there as a weasel word, my basic thought is that they all suck. OK, my wife likes Project Runway and it does seem to be a cut above the rest, in that talented people do interesting and creative things making clothes as part of the show, instead of just being bitchy and stupid, though there is plenty of that, too.) But people do watch reality shows, for whatever reason. And did I mention they were very cheap to produce?
