Hmmm.....

<<Heartfelt Dissertaion on the Merits of the Remailer snipped>>


          Anyway, It also makes it easier for us all to get a hold of
your fic... and then of course cut it up in that winning way we all
have.....then of course you can post your "new improved" fic in its place.

Okay... but will WWolf have the time to actually update the remailer then?
After all, it's not like the poor fellow doesn't have Real Life gettin in
his way all the time...

What the hell.  Zen will send.


    Just an idea....
       As to how to do it... either consult the fac or some other
venerable sage in the group....I'm tired of typing tonight.


Well, Zen is no venerable sage, (not this thyme, anyway!) (he's parsley
deaf to boot) but you guys have this cumin.  Gingerly quoted from
Panda-san's FAQ for the ML....

====================

* IS THERE AN ARCHIVE FOR STORIES POSTED TO THE ML?

To facilitate fast and simple access to the works of the authors who post
their installments on this list, a REMAILER system has been installed. The
remailer allows author-members of the list to submit and update their
stories to a constantly updated archive while creating a convenient means
for reading-members to retrieve the latest installments of fanfics they
would like to read.

To SUBMIT a fanfic work to the remailer, send the story to:

 add-ftp@ranma.net

After 30-90 seconds check your mail. You should have a message confirming
your story's reception at the remailer. The story will be added as soon as
the list's moderator can get to it.

To GET THE CURRENT LIST of fanfic stories archived on the remailer, send a
blank email (no subject, no message) to:

 ftp@ranma.net

After 30-90 seconds check your mail. You will have a message with the
remailer's current contents listed along with their email addresses.

To RETRIEVE A FANFIC STORY from the remailer, find the story you want
on the remailer list and simply send a blank email (no subject, no message)
to the address listed beside the story you want to retrieve. After 30-90
seconds check your mail. You will have a message with the fanfic story you
requested.
