[NS: Thank GOD this an NC thread. The window's safe! Anyone own the WG to
the window yet?]

In Phoom's mind, some stuff was going on. The stuff in question wasn't
really worth mentioning, but Phoom's author liked to add in lines of
clarification to other people's work.

Omega looked like a cross between Gandalf, Dumbledore and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Just because.

Hal was beaten to death by Phoom, who was most put out by this comment.
However, realising that this story had already been written by another
author, Hal came back to life. NC threads are fun.

It was at this point that Phoom realised the limitations of having two
authors writing in different tenses.
[NS: I don't believe there's anything in the non-NC Phoom threads that ruins
any degree of enjoyment for anyone else, or breaks any kind of rule, and as
such, is there any reason that I should write them as NC stories? Please
clarify this.]
