This isn't a perfect solution to what I do see as a problem:  namely, 
that there are far too many fanfics going through this list weekly 
than can be given a chance (and read) by most people, even 
considering the synopses idea.  Which is an excellent one 
nonetheless, IMO.

This has changed from "Gain back the good old days" to "There are to many
fanfics a week".  That's what this ML is about as far as I understand it.
I've said it before I'll say it again, I joined to read Fanfics, C&C and
maybe put some of my own work out.  Everything, and I mean, everything is
secondary to that.  We've offered you a solution.  Start your own ML with as
few people as you like.  You've complained about to much "On-Topic"  stuff.
I'd pe more apt to complain about the off-topic stuff but I realized that
spam will happen.  I've read every fic I've gotten except those for which
series I'd don't know about but I save them on my hard drive until I can
find out about the series.
