The world is changing.

I feel it in the water...
I feel it in the earth...
I smell it in the air.

Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it.
It began with the forging of the great episodes.
Three were given to the fans, wise and fairest of all beings.
Seven were given to Steve Sears, great crafter and miner of the studio halls.
And nine...nine were gifted to the race of TPTB who above all else desire POWER.
In each episode was the will and strength to govern each fan.

...But they were all of them deceived, for another one was made.
In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Goon, the Dark Lord Robert created a master episode, by which he could control all others.
And into it he poured his craft, his cruelty, and his will to dominate all life.
"One FIN to rule them all."

One by one the free fans of middle earth fell to the power of AFIN.
But there were some who resisted.
A last alliance of fans and viewers marched against the armies of Robert.
And on the slopes of Mount Goon they faught for the freedom of XWP.
Victory was near...but the power of FIN could not be undone.
It was in that hour...when all hope had faded...that RJ, main writer, took up his fathers quill.
Robert, the enemy of the free people of middle earth, was defeated.

AFIN passed to RJ, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever.
But the hearts of fans are easily deceived, and the episode of Power has a will of its own. It betrayed RJ to his death.
And some scripts that should not have been forgotten were lost.

History became legend, legend became myth, and for two and half thousand years the episode passed out of all knowledge.
Until when chance came, FIN ensnared a new bearer.

M: My Precious. My own...

AFIN came to the creature Manheim, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Tipsy Mountains. And there it consumed her.

M: It came to me...my own, my love...my prrrrrecious...

AFIN brought to Manheim un-natural long life.
For five hundred years it poisoned her mind.
And in the gloom of Manheim's cave, it waited.

Darkness crept back into the forests of the world.
Rumor grew of reruns in the East, spoilers of a nameless fear, and the episode of Power perceived.
Its time had now come.
It abandoned Manheim.

But something happened then that FIN did not intend.
It was picked up by the most unlikely creature of all.

A fan.
Katherine Fugate of the Xenites.

K: What's this? A script?

M: Looost! Loooost! My Prrrrrecious is lost!

For the time will soon come when fans will shape the fortunes of all...
