You 

have 

been 

warned.

PRIMARY RANT:

A couple of days ago I sent chapter 4 of my Iczer fic "Guardian Angel" to
the FFML. Since that time, however, I have recieved ABSOLUTELY NO FEEDBACK
WHATSOEVER! Now I realize that there are not a great amount of people (even
amongst the anime community) who like the Iczer series as much as I do, but
at least somebody out there must have read it. PLEASE, SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT
YOU THOUGHT OF IT!  SEND A FLAME IF YOU WANT TO, BUT TELL ME YOUR OPINION!

*Sweatdrop...
Well, get used to it. Not to be offensive or anything, but typically,
feedback is somewhat nil on anything not Ranma, BGC or Sailor Moon. Trust
me, I know... 
*monica looks at the RGVeda, LoGH and RuKen fics she sent to die a bit of a
death on the FFML... 

Recommendation? Get onto other mls that are more diverse- IE, I send the RGV
fic to CML, LoGH fic to the LoGH ml, and the Rurouken to other places...

SECONDARY RANT:

Okay, this is something I've been meaning to bring up for some time, but
never gotten around to: The excessive amount of Ranma stuff on the FFML.

well, it is usually called the Ranma Fanfic ML... 

When I first joined I read it, then I started thinking "Oh, another Ranma
fic. Delete."  Now I have started to think "Oh, no, here we go again."
People, I know that Ranma is incredibly popular with you, but surely there
are some other shows that you like. I mean, the Two thirds of the total
stories in the synopsis list this week were Ranma stories for god's sake! Do
something else before I start actually hating Ranma fanfics, and then hating
the real thing as well!  Please, I don't wanna hate Ranma but you guys and
girls are forcing me to!

*Shrug* I personally don't see the appeal of Ranma, but if people want to
write it, then fine. I'll skim, and if it's boring, I delete (terrible, I
know, but I don't have terribly large amounts of time.

  Even worse than the Ranma fics are the questions

about the Ranma series.  If you don't know what would happen in a given
circumstance, do what I do and make up the answer yourself, or 
*ASK IN R.A.A.C OR ON A RANMA MAILING LIST INSTEAD OF ADDING MORE #%&/ SPAM
TO THE FFML!!!!!

Well, not on RAAC- on RAAFandom, right? Or on RAAMisc, whatever...
And if it pertains to a story, it's not to bad... (but asking on the Ranma
ML is a good idea...)

Actually, I'm slightly depressed myself... I'm wondering whether I should
even bother posting here... whatever ^^;;
