Dear Jas,
I agree with Kyrie, if he has a problem he shouldn't be reading the stories, and I think that they should all be really flattered that we all love them enough to even write about them. As for them coming to look for you, I say let the hunt begin. I personally would love nothing better for the cute Carolina Contingent to come pounding on my door, but hey, I guess I'm just weird like that, LOL. But seriously, I say just take a deep breath and relax, there are laws about stalking someone after all. Time to go and read some more of your fabulous stories.
Peace out,
Stephanie (xtremediva)
P.S.
I wonder if the slash story I'm working on with Jeff and Shannon will cause them to come find me next. I girl can always dream.
Jas stared at her computer screen in utter disbelief! Her friends were abandoning her. Well, not really. They just didn't take the threat imposed by team OMEGA seriously! Hell, Stephanie wished it were happening to her! Damn it so did Jas!
"Stephanie! Kyrie! I don't think these guys want to chase my ass down so we can have a leisurely chat! In fact, I'm sure after the Swanton Jeff is undoubtedly planning to deliver, I won't be in any condition to talk at all!"
She sat back and weighed her options. One thing Stephanie was right about was the bit about stalking laws. They were quite severe these days. The problem was, whenever a celebrity was involved, the courts tended to believe said celebrity, and if Shannon told any authorities she called that she was writing unauthorized slash stories about him, she was sunk! They'd believe she was a nut!
Think, Jas, THINK! This is what he wants! He'd love it if you stopped writing your slash stories and buried your head in the sand. And what would become of your friends? He would have the ammunition he needs to put them all out of business one by one! FF.net without slash?! Not on Shannon's life!
Jas angrily pulled out her laptop and began typing quickly. She was going to start the beginnings of Shannon and Adam's romance, finally, in Mending Hearts. That's the story that really pissed him off, so that's the one she'd hit him with.
********************************
Shannon chuckled gleefully as he noticed that yet again there was no reply from Jas in his inbox. And no update to that infernal story, either! Life was good today. He logged off and smiled to Jeff who sat on the end of the bed and thumbed his guitar strings. Jeff smiled back sexily and crooned a few words when the pone rang, interrupting them. Shannon sighed and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, baby bro!" Shane cried into the phone making Shannon see stars.
"Do you have to be so damn loud, Shaney?"
"What's the matter, you wake up on the wrong side of the Hardy Boy?" Shane laughed.
"Ha ha," Shannon replied humorlessly. "What's up, man?"
"Matty and me," Shane laughed.
"Will you get serious?" Shannon griped. "Or better yet, stop calling when you're horny!" He looked over at Jeff who raised his eyebrows playfully and grinned at him. Shannon's heart fluttered.
"Sorry, baby!" the other man laughed. "Anyway, we narrowed down the list of schools to about 32."
"32?!" Shannon guffawed "How the hell is Jeff supposed to cover all 32 schools before the end of the semester?"
"Does it have to be before the end of the term?"
"YES, it has to be before the end of the term!" Shannon shrieked. "She could change schools before September!"
"Well, you said she hasn't written in a while," Shane reasoned. "Maybe you've finally won."
"I don't care," Shannon argued. "I still want a name and an address. Just in case."
Jeff nodded emphatically in agreement. He'd been talking about nothing else besides finding Jas and teaching her a lesson. Shannon was worried at first that it would involve a wrestling move, but Jeff insisted he just wanted to scare her straight. Well, they had no proof she wasn't straight, but Jeff said they would scare her stories straight anyway.
Just how was the question though. Jeff wanted to kidnap her for a week or so and strand her in the middle of Cameron, but Shannon said it was a felony. Besides, he, Matt and Shane couldn't take that much time off work. Matt suggested they "out" her on the Internet, but Shannon pointed out that they could probably be sued for that, too. Shane said that if they showed up at her school and followed her around for a couple of hours, it would scare her enough and it wasn't illegal. In fact, they'd probably have a lot of fans to meet at the school, which would scare her all the more. That sounded like a good plan to the rest of them.
"Are you listening?" Shane sounded annoyed.
"Yeah, I'm here. I'm just thinking about torturing her at school, is all."
"Yeah, that'll be fun," Shane agreed. "Anyhow, if Jeff visits three or so schools a week, we should have enough time to find her before summer break."
"Three schools a week?!" Shannon shrieked again. He wasn't liking this plan. That would keep Jeff away for a long time.
"Hey, we all have to make sacrifices."
"What sacrifices are you and Matt making?" Shannon shot back.
"Hey, her name is JEFF AND SHANNON," Shane enunciated. "Matt and I are just supporting characters."
"Hmmph."
"Talk it over with Jeff," Shane offered. "I'll email you the list."
They hung up and Shannon relayed what Shane told him to Jeff, who enthusiastically jumped on the idea.
"But you'll be gone for so long!" Shannon complained.
"That will make my homecoming sweeter," Jeff smiled sexily. "And I'll come to you periodically for breaks. You know I can't stay away THAT long."
Shannon smiled and logged back onto the computer to wait for Shane's mail. He was in shock when he saw what was in his inbox:

Dear Shannon,
I guess you're still annoyed with me, especially since I updated your favorite story today. I'm sorry to have to disappoint you, but this is a principle I can't let go. It's about censorship and freedom of speech. You're a public figure and I can write you into my stories if I want to, as long as I make a disclaimer that I don't know you and this is FICTION.
Now, I know you and your friends will probably take this as a challenge, but it really isn't. You wouldn't care about finding me if you hadn't figured out who I was. Can't we just go back to that state? I mean, after all, if you wasted your time tracking down every slash fanfic author you'd have no time to train and work. How long can Jeff do your legwork? It would take him forever to track us all down. Some of us are as far away as Australia!
Do us both a favor and forget about this. Your Adam story will be over in a few chapters anyway, and I promise I won't write you with anyone but Jeff for the next few fics. How does that sound?
Yours,
Jas
"Oh, no we canNOT forget it!" Shannon yelled, bringing Jeff over to skim the note on the screen. His face reddened and he nodded to Shannon. They will get her, they decided together. Oh yes, they will.

Dear Jas,
We're so gratified to read that you're willing to negotiate. Here are our terms: STOP WRITING SLASH STORIES ABOUT US! There are no others, just that one. We're not willing to let bygones be bygones any other way.
As far as finding the other authors, we intend to make a public example out of you so they will see the dangers they face. Attached you will find a list of schools where Jeff will be making appearances in the near future. See your school on it? You must. These are all of the colleges and universities in Minnesota that cater to out of town students.
Either comply with our demands or expect to see all four of us on your campus soon. I'm sure we have plenty of fans who will be interested in an impromptu meet and greet in your school's activity center. What will we tell them when they ask why we're there, Jas, baby?
Oh yes, you will definitely be ours,
Shannon
Aaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jas banged her head on the desk again. This could NOT be happening! No, no, NO! She needed advice. She needed it from someone who will take the threat seriously enough! Ah ha!

Dear Cat,
Please help me out here! Attached are the emails I've received from Shannon in the last week. Kyrie and Stephanie say that I shouldn't be worried, but this last email has me extremely nervous. Please give me some advice on what I should do! I really want to continue my stories, but they're breathing down my neck and not at all seductively!
Gratefully,
