It was, and I have a vague memory that I did specify at some point (and 
probably also moaned about it when I started habitually breaking that 
deadline), but after all this time I'd have to go back and search to 
find an actual example.

Psychovant is always lots of fun, combining fourth wall breaking with 
obnoxious truth-telling

Oh dear crap on a stick, I hadn't recognised that.  (If I wanted an excuse, 
I could make up something about how since these are NTB stories taking 
place in highjacked issues of an LNH series, they require an LNH guest 
appearance to metatextually anchor it, or something,  but the truth is 
that I didn't realise I was doing it.)  Hmm.  Now I'm wondering if I 
should do a 'straight' NTB story just to buck the trend...
