======================
For the week of: December 13 - December 19, 1997
Moderator on Duty: Sean Connor
Synopses Submitted: 18
This is the text version of the FFML Synopses List. If any of
the fics in this list seem interesting, you are suggested to
either use the FFML Archive Number, if provided, to retrieve the
fic from the FFML Archive, or to email the author. As stated
quite emphatically in the FFML FAQ, _DO NOT SEND REQUESTS TO THE
FFML_. Although, personally we won't do anything, chances are,
you might get verbally abused by a few... (j/k, most people on
the list are quite tolerant and do not bite... Just don't post
20 requests in a row...)
This list is sorted by series, and within each series, ordered
alphabetically, according to last names. The synopses here
represent whatever has been sent to us, from Saturday to Friday.
