        Nice idea...

For those that erased the first message without  reading it, I asked if anyone 
had thought of doing a fanfic guide that was done by the authors instead of a 
reviewer.  This would cover all archived fanfics instead of just one series.

        Oh, thats what you were talking about...still a nice idea.  Of
course, since
Im not an author, I dont have to do any work :)

To keep the length as short as possible, the entry would be limited to title, 
author, type, status, availability, and a short three sentence description.  
And maybe some other things that make sense.

        Sounds like WWs remailer...maybe you could use that as a model.

        I just got around to reading the response to this...if the authors
send in
the blurb in that specific format and you do a cut & paste job...that ought to
save some time...especially if you dont have to read the fic first <there
are a lot
of them out there...give the guy a break>  Or you could update the web
pages already out there...

        Actually, the X-men fanfic archive (aka Hawks X-men Fan-Fiction
page) closed
down recently because it was getting so big and was taking up a lot of
energy to just
maintain.  What sprung up to replace it was CFAN (Comic Fan-fiction Author
Network);
it links to the authors/archivists fanfic page w/ links to specific works as
well.  Its
maintained by Kielle.  Check out the page at:

        If you like the setup...you can speak to Kielle about it :)

PS  Sometimes the page is down for some reason I cant understand...
I did not give you the wrong URL.

PPS  If Im adding yet another two cents...does that mean I am actually adding
four cents <crooked g>
