I remember seeing this pairing in the claims list a while back, and hoping like crazy that the manifesto would actually be written. As a kid, I was constantly glued to Nick at Nite, but Laverne/Shirley was always my 'ship, and I'd never even thought about Richie/Fonz until I saw your claim. So I was really excited to see you'd written it!

You've done everything you're supposed to with a manifesto - I'm reading the fanfics right now and I'm dying to watch the show again. Thank you for the beautifully put-together and informative essay!
