Can everybody just keep their C&C to the authours themselves and not
send it to the mailing list? I have to delete about 60% of the mail
because of that. of couse I skim through it first but it's more
courtious that way.

Anou...  No offence, mate, but the public C&C and discussion of stories is
what this list is all about.

Yes, as I said to Blade recently, if I want public C&C, I'll send it to
the FFML. While the Usenet RAAF can serve the purpose of public C&C, you
don't see too many people sending their draft versions of stories there.

Writers like somewhere where they can send early versions of their stories
where people of a similar bent of mind(ie like anime, not any particular
philosophy) can comment on them. 

Public C&C is the big reason I, personally, joined the FFML. I can get C&C
for my stories if I send it to RAAC, but it just isn't the same thing as
public C&C, know what I mean? 

I mean, I'd much prefer to see 10 C&Cs on any story clogging up the FFML,
than one 'send me too' message anyday.

Personally, I _want_ public C&C when I post stories to the FFML. Unless, of
course, you thought my story sucked. :)
