Did you ever wonder why some fanfics start with a disclaimer stating how they don't own any of the characters and storylines they're writing about? Well, if you don't know, consider yourself lucky to have not lived through some of the darkest days of fanfic history. And sit down for a tale of terror and read some fic that was once considered forbidden fruit.

What came first: the Ship Wars or the Armada? Did we treat Harry Potter ships with such severity because we shackled ourselves to the idea of legitmate naval war vessels? Or did we declare our ships legitimate warcraft BECAUSE we took our ships so seriously? This and other questions are explored while Emily tries to rouse support from herself for her own NaNo project and tries to remember why she participates in this madness every year.
