Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

“Well... I've got a couple of ideas you might like.” Xander grinned. “This place is nice, but have you ever considered having a different person to follow an example of?”

“Like who?” Lex asked.

“Like Scrooge McDuck.” Xander told him. “He knew when to invest and when not to. He also earned every dollar he ever made by being the best at what he did.”

“Plus he could swim through coins. I always wanted to be able to do that.” Lex grinned. “So oh wise one... what should I be doing?”

“Well instead of living here, you should live well below your means.” Xander said. “Drive a Geo Metro, shop and buy off the rack. When was the last time you wore a non-tailored suit?”

Lex winced. “You're asking for a lot.”

“Come on, how many people can have a bumper sticker that says 'My other car is a Porsche' and have it actually be true?” Xander grinned.

“I'm listening.” Lex grinned as he put on his suit's jacket.

“Well, have you ever considered going green?” Xander asked as the trio began to walk out of the study.

“I run a fertilizer plant. Green is the final product.” Lex said flatly.

“Funny.” Xander said with a grin. “I've a couple patents in the works... ones that could not only ease some of the costs of your plant but could net you a profit if you help me produce the products commercially.”

“Tell me more.” Lex said.

“I have in my possession, breaking wind technology.” Xander said before pausing. “I mean... cutting edge wind technology.”

“No, let's go with the fart joke lead in.” Lex grinned. “I want to hear this.”
