Ginger,
Could I perchance have your permission to include your description of ?fornits? (from this site?s home and about pages) to enter in the Urban Dictionary? I propose the following definition (essentially your words verbatim):
Fornits
1.) From an obscure short story called Ballad of the Flexible Bullet, by Stephen King; nothing but good, wholesome, all American terror and gore. Fornits are a manifestation of insanity in the form of very small, beings who live under the keyboards of writers and who ghost write brilliant, award-winning work by jumping up and down on the keys.
2.) A popular website, which is home to a variety of open and, for the most part, unmoderated forums, primarily dealing with the Troubed Teen industry, with a couple of lifestyle/general interest topics into the mix.

Thanks in advance for your consideration...

I don't think you need her permission for this.
While you're at it, care to add some program descriptions in there as well? WWASP has one.

I'm busy writing up one for Hyde. But you discern my intent to a tee. These entries can cross-tagged to each other as well as directing, to the astute viewer, traffic back to here.
I would prefer her official word, as I am quoting her essentially verbatim, and wish to respect intellectual property rights, etc. Perhaps you could PM her for me. I'm stuck in anon-ville and cannot do so...

Go for it, friend! I'm honored.

Okay, wee update. I submitted the descript to Urban Dic yesterday, shortly after your response. I edited out the word "web" (left in the part "site"), as it needs to make it past volunteer editors and they don't like advertisements. I also cleaned up typo in "Troubed Teens."
Then I signed up to be an editor, although I am sure I will not get "fornits." Mostly I wanted to get a feel for the site and its entries. It appears that some people resubmit some entries multiple times, so if "fornits" doesn't take in a few days, I will resubmit...

Check It Out!!

It took a couple of trys, and then it took a couple of days to show up, but there ya go!
VIEWER TAKE NOTE: entries can feasibly be removed at some point; process involves putting said entry back into the editor pool; entries with substantially more thumbs up than down are refractory to removal.
