Salutations from your webmoster at MMOSC. I've been reading the stories on
your newsgroup and thought it was time for me to step in.

The Manga & Movie Story Competition has redone it's website. Please take a
look because old Bill needs the hits.  The silent partner site on the web
is always looking to exchange links so let me know if you would like to be
added.  We are planning to go online with our comic stories in both
Japanese and English so bookmark us now.

Hmmm. Appears to be an anime Fanfic site of somekind, and the @gol.com is a
Japanese Internet service provider. WW, this may be a Japanese web version
of the Fanfic ML!

AND now for an update from our sponsor:

We received over 2000 stories, have chosen the best 30 and translated them
into English. The preselection meeting takes place in LA on March 9th and
10th where the top 15 will be selected.

Wow! 2000! And translated into english eh? I take it then that this is
a Japanese language fanfic contest. Cool! :)

The top industry creative people attending include: Mr Carlos Avila
(director - LA CARPA, THE ORTEGAS) film director, Mr Yariv Kohn (director 
HARRY WEINBERG's NOTEBOOK),  MsKathy Fong Yoneda  (PARAMOUNT >PICTURES), and
Mr Steven Mau (ACTIVISION). The international jury meeting will take place
in Japan on March 26th and 27th. Attendees include: Mr Morris Ruskin of
Shoreline Pictures (producer -  Kathy Beats (MISERY) films, THE ORTEGAS)
and Mr Henry S Rosenthal of Complex Corporation (producer - Jon Jost's >THE BED YOU SLEEP IN - '93 Cannes Film Festival).
Thank you for your time and continued support of our project.
Sincerely,
C Christian Storms, International Promotion Director

International Promotion Director? Sounds like Mr. Christian Storms (if he's not'
subbed to this list) has found someone to send Fanfic ML stories to him and
also someone to post this message for him. I'm going to check out this *Web Site* now. I'll let you know if I find anything :)
