Hola. I thought that I'd do one last beg for old times sake for synopses.
FFML downtime definately kills off synopsis sending, even when the list
gets back up. So, a reminder that the synopses help us all out, readers
and writers, so please send me one. And please use the form if humanly 
possible, it makes my job quicker and easier, a neccesary thing if you
all want the Synopses Lists to continue.

Now, onto non-synopsis related stuff. My writing. Okay, I admit it, in
the last two months(up until 3 days ago), I wrote exactly... zilch. Nada.
Nothing. Zero K. Not counting that Ranma A-Team spamfic, of course. But...
finally, I'm writing again. Neko Chapter 8 is half done(I've sped the
storyline up a lot, otherwise it'll literally take me 3 years to finish.
But nothing is really missing, I just cut out a few pointless side issues
I was going to raise. This series is still going to be bloody long).

Besides that, I'm currently seriously trying to do 3 other fics. One Ranma,
one Ranma/3x3 Eyes, and one 3x3 Eyes fic, and I've got a fourth fic, a
3x3 Eyes/The Crow one that I'm considering taking out of cold storage and
actually finishing. Yeah, so I'm finally trying to do some non-Ranma stuff,
even if it is a gradual thing.

And... it's time for something I rarely do. I'd like some help from people
with knowledge of Japanese in a specific area... Rythymic Gymnastics. My
Japanese is okay, nothing to write home about, but I haven't got any Ranma
manga referring to Kodachi's tools, and both my language education and my
dictionaries are regretably lax in this area. I'd like to know romaji names
for EVERY piece of Rythmic Gymnastics equipment and paraphenalia you 
knowledgeable ones can think of, even if it's just the Japanasised version
of an English word. Quite frankly, if I had the time, I'd search the web for
this, but time's a commodity that's all too precious, so I'm asking you
all first. Yes, I have a reason for wanting to know the names of everything
(and I mean everything. Anything related to Rythymic Gymnastics would help)
Gymnastics related(If Joshua Seames is still floating about the FFML, and
if Joshua has a good memory, then at least one person knows why I want 
these).

Oh, and Japanese names for popular(I mean well-known, okay?) poisons and 
paralysers would be great as well. I'm not sure if I'll use all the names,
if any, but I'd like them so that I can decide between using the Japanese
or the English versions.
