Oh My Goodness, I'm Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry. I thought the name zuzzy would be a guy. (But hey the user burley_furley was a girl so what was i thinking?!)

Hey, do u need me to write the code for you? I'm pretty good at that. Just tell me what you need, if you do.

[Zuzzy]

It's OK!
I'll be able to code it. All I'll need to add is spaces between the lines.
It was really nice of you to get the guide for me!!
And to give me the idea for the fanfiction. I'm working on it right now.

[Zuzzy]

Actually, it might take me a little longer.
I think I should slightly change the guide and the summaries so I don't get into trouble for completely taking his guide.
Would I?

Actually, I've had the guide for a while now for my own personal reference, but when I saw someone in need, I was more than willing to share. BTW, did u read the fanfic I continued? Here is the link in case u didn't: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...5&pagenumber=2 I hope you enjoy my less-than-perfect fanfic.

No, u won't. On his guide it says, and I quote: "This guide may be displayed on any 'free' site provided all credits are kept intact with the guide." All that means is you have to have a link back to his website, which I did in the second post.

[Zuzzy]

Hey, your fanfic was good!
You're a good writer!
Maybe we could write one together some time!

Oops, I didn't see that!
That will save me some time.

No, I don't have an msn or yahoo email.
But we could exchange ideas using private messages
or I could send you a private message with my email.

That would be great! Maybe you can set up either a Yahoo or MSN email. They're both free!!
