OK...so there is a small group of "writers" who has the power to write anything to their liking and it happens. I can "write" myself winning the lottery, etc. However, there are Editors that makes sure writers don't abuse their powers such as writting themselves winning the lottery...ah crap im still broke. Damn Editors >.<

Then some crazy stuff happens and someone is writting the end of the world and the editors is Having a hard @$$ time finding the writer and taking him out.

SOunds lame but trust me, sheet loads of epic action and twists. Its a awesome, epic must read.
