[[Fun Withwith Acronyms|An "acronym"]] for "Creative Anime Prose Original Writing", CAPOW was a mailing-list [[Round Robin]] writing group that was part [[Fan Fiction]], part [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]], and part diceless [[Role Playing Game]].
 
It originated from the depths of ''[[UseNet]]'' as a "sister" group to the [[Global Ranma Insanity Thread]] and moved to its own moderated mailing list (first on a member's personal server, and then on Yahoo Groups) where aspiring members have to apply and pass muster from existing members before they can join the group. By mid-1994 most of the groups' founding members had moved on to other projects and the group died a slow, agonizing death as people simply stopped posting.

== This series has examples of: ==
* [[Author Appeal]] - Since every character was required to have some sort of anime influence, that meant every member had plenty of opportunities to gush about their favorite series.
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]] / [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]] - Powers above [[Charles Atlas Superpower]] levels are only acceptable unless they have some kind of handicap, and sometimes not even then.
* [[Four Lines, All Waiting]] - Several members were juggling different stories, so when things got very busy you could have a ton of concurrently ongoing plots.
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] - Many characters explicitly have the power to access "malletspace", and most of them carry more things on their person than is advisable in real life.
