ZOS Stages Revision 1.1
By Eric Kilbourne
-------------------------------------------------------
Stage One
   Your thoughts occasionally turn to Zelgadis, and you have strange 
urges to watch The Slayers more than you usually would.

Stage Two
   You begin to realize that when you watch The Slayers you pay more 
attention to Zelgadis than you do to anything else.  You show your 
friends The Slayers videos.

Stage Three
   Your thoughts now turn to Zelgadis related thoughts, and would like 
to meet him in real life, and you begin to look for Zelgadis related 
sites on the Internet.  You also tell your friends all about Zel, and 
make them watch the videos with you so you can show them Zel.  You think 
he's "cute."

Stage Four
    You don't care what he looks like.  You begin to spread the word of 
Zelgadis to everyone, and you try to get your friends hooked to Zelgadis 
too. You imagine having conversations with Zel.  Case study:  Psi-Amy.  

Stage 4.5
    You want Zelgadis for a boyfriend.

Stage Five
   You now act out the conversations.  You begin to think that Zelgadis 
actually WAS there.  You also go into denial.  You can't think about 
anything but Zel, and begin to cast "Dragon Slave" and other Slayers 
related spells.  You get your friends hooked, and you now want to go out 
with Zel.  In simple terms, you're obsessed with Zelgadis.  Case Studies 
include Amy's friend, "Schala".

Stage Six
   You create a web page worshipping Zelgadis.

Untreated, ZOS can lead to other problems such as short attention spans, 
problems with boys (You don't like them cause they just aren't Zelgadis) 
and possibly liking bad animation due to clouded mind/judgement.
