If this is the story I think it is, it would have some reference to
'Madlibs'. At the Great Expectations con Diane hosted a panel called
'Madlibs' where she had the skeletal outline for a story with a bunch of
blanks in it. At the panel she handed out peices of paper to all in the
room and on each there were 3 or 4 terms on it (like verb, noun, proper
noun, etc.) and you had to randomly choose words and fill them in. She
collected the papers (each blank for a word was numbered) and then read her
skeletal story filling in all the blanks with the appropriate words. It was
funny at the panel, but I found it tedious in the story, which appeared in
the following years conzine. I think this might have been the one. It
wouldn't make much sense without a madlibs explanation, but I thought there
was one. Was there any such reference?

Vincent and Catherine forever!
