Jumping the shark?

Jeph runs out of story arcs and resorts to bringing in celebrity guests. Hanner's Dad invites Hanners, Tai and Marigold to visit him on the space station, Hermione and Ginny (as celebrity guests of the week) apparate to the station as well. Tai and Marigold team up with Hermione and Ginny to fight the SPACE WIZARDS, who turn out to be HannerDad under the alias Griznok with an army of evil wizardbots.
Hermione and Ginny hook up, Tai and Marigold hook up, doing it side by side on the surface of the moon. Their lovemaking overwhelmes Space HannerDad Griznok and Harry is able to kill him. Hanners and YellingBird (who happens to be on the space station due to deus ex machina) write an exciting fanfic based on the events.

That isn't jumping the shark—it's Jeph doing LSD. I know I shouldn't take this seriously, but I simply have to ask: can fanfic be written about 'actual' (sure, the whole thing is the drug playing merry hell with Jeph's brain, but it's real to the characters) events?
dps:
The cast get assimilated by the Borg.
akronnick:
And then Hannelore dissolves them all in a big vat of reactor coolant because Borg are icky.

Stephen King wrote some books that contained characters from his other books, who then discovered the other books in which they were characters, then some characters from his books go to visit King to make sure he does in fact end up writing the books from which the characters came. It was hella trippy. In fact, I believe in an epilogue to one book he actually killed himself off before he had written that very book.
That's it!! The jumping the shark comes when Jeph shows up in comic, kills all the dudes, and does all the hot ladies he loves to draw. Like the opposite of fanservice...authorservice. Brilliant.

Now I'm picturing Pintsize as being Marten's Tyler Durden. Awesome.

Fixed it for you. :evil: Now, to actually attempt contributing to the thread:
Marten gets pregnant. Not Faye, not Dora, not even Hannellore (although that would be setting up the ramp) -- Marten. Hey, the QC-verse is a weird place, remember? Commonplace sentient robots. :lol:
Okay, fine, I'll be serious: Jeph starts actually reading the General Discussion forums and taking ideas from it.
