Much like people, all fanfics, without exception, fall into one of two categories: good or bad. And much like bad people, bad fanfics can only be…deleted.
Thus, the Muses, the Gods of Writing, followed the example set by the Gods of Death and created…

Author's Afterthoughts:
I hereby dedicate this to my dear friend Megii of Mysteri OusStranger, who also contributed to Rule 3 in How to Use It: I.
I also dedicate this to my new friends Brat-Child3 and Magic Mind, both of whom agree with Megii that the Death Note character I'm most like is Mikami.
Also, if you can think of any rules I can add, just write it in your review or email or PM it to me and if I like it, I'll add it and give you credit. So don't be shy; be creative!
