The Future Of CF&S

In the future, I am going to try very hard never to use that acronym again.

I'm looking forwards to the day this blog becomes well-read enough that we can begin the traditional internet fundraiser. We'll explain how a freak accident destroyed our computer and/or car, and how we can't afford to purchase a new one. A helpful Paypal donation button will be added, and promises will be made for bonus content for everyone who donates. Later, we'll dash off a letter gushing about how our readers are the best, and allow them to bask in the shared glory of our shiny new swag.

With luck, shortly after that Blogger's cortical stack will be removed by the Russians. Then we can reveal that for three years, the idea of backing up our files onto CD had never occurred to us. I haven't decided yet if the files will be recovered. We might just write highly fictionalized summaries about each week's content.

A year or so later, we can finally make a desperate cry for help. We'll question why the hell we bother writing things down. Things no longer make any sense to us, and we're not happy with the quality of our work. After the comments come rolling in, we'll thank our incredible fans, and say that we'll continue our good work. The only catch is that we'll be doing it in a completely different way, but one that we hope will be as much fun for you as it is for us.

Within three months, the site dies off. Every few months, a short apology is posted, as well as a link to half-finished content.

I would very much like to have something intelligent and insightful to say. Maybe someday, but today is not that day. No, all I have is a question. Why "CF@S" and not "CF&C?" Is this simply a typo, or am I just dense and have missed a joke/reference?

In hindsight, making a reference targeted to a single person was unproductive. I invite you to behold the Ampersand of Fan Service!
