Another example, inspired by Bugzy, and deliberately using OOC versions of Explorer and Fred.

Explorer: Hey, Fred, I need help with this article. Can you make it for me?

Fred: A zillion bucks or no dice.

(one day later)

Explorer: Hey, that looks awesum! Thanks, bro!

Fred: No problem.

(Explorer pays Fred)

All goes well, until Explorer uses the article in a story.

Explorer (typing): TEH GIANT BANANA lashed out its tongue and whacked RANDOM DUDE, causing him to roll on the floor laughing.

Fred (seeing what Explorer is doing): Hey! TEH GIANT BANANA has no tongue!

Explorer: Uh, ya, it does. You're talking to the author here, buddy.

Fred: No, I made the article!

Explorer: But I made the concept, twerp.

Fred: Well, I was hard-working enough to WRITE it, dweeb!

Explorer: Hey! Who are you to call me lazy? You sit and do math all day!

Fred: At least that's productive! All you do is throw bananas at people!

Explorer: Nerd!

Fred: Loser!

Explorer: Dork!

Fred: Freak!

Nasal Voice (offscreen): Two. Hours. Later.

Explorer: I made it up, dork, it's not OOC!

Fred: No, I made it up, freak, it IS OOC!

Explorer: Geek!

Fred: Weirdo!

As you can see, shops selling articles would be problematic...
