Compiled by Mark Doherty <mdoherty@mailbox.uq.edu.au>
[Ed Notes: Here we go again. The Weekly Synopses List for the
week ending 21 June 1997. What do you know, the fifth List, and
I finally get some use out of it, with a synopsis for one of my own
stories. I guess I should write faster. Anyway, keep sending the
synopses.]

http://www.uq.edu.au/~zzhdoher/list.html
Check it out, all the mail and web sites are linked, so it's quite useful.
If anyone wants to archive all the lists, not just the last four, then
please tell me so I can link your site in later lists.]

of the summaries, or any of the information pertained within. If you have

This chapter leans more towards comedy.
Date/time story was sent to FFML: Around 4PM by my clock, 17 June
Size: 52K
The ongoing saga of a boy/cat, two girl/boys, enough curses to start your
own witches coven, and, of course, lemmings. Ranma's cursed as a cat!
Akane's cursed as a boy! So's Ukyou! Ranma refuses to believe he's got a
cat curse, Ukyou feels that she can't tell Akane, her best friend, that
she's actually a girl, and Akane's treating Ukyou pretty well, considering
that the Tendo girl was supposed to hate boys...
In Chapter 8, Akane and Ranma FINALLY make it to school. After the troubles
they had getting there, surely Fate would be kind enough to give them an
easy first day... well, okay, so Fate's not known for his kindness...

******************
[Hope that helped you all in some way, be you a reader, a writer,
or both. Now that that's out of the way, the new week starts, and
new fics come out. So all you authors send me your synopses for
whatever you will be releasing this week. Please use the form, and
please make it as easy for me as possible by filling out all the
questions you plan to answer, instead of saying things like 'refer to
header for email addy' or 'refer to sig for web address', and try to
give web addresses even when you think the site is well known(such as
the 100% Anime place, and the RAAC Archive). Every little bit helps.]
[Here is the easiest way to send your synopses, a blank synopsis form
to fill out. Remember, don't send these to the FFML, just to me, otherwise
it will create unwanted spam. PLEASE, if you use the form from here, slice
out the fic stuff above, I can do without 20K posts on one synopsis.
Please also be sure to have some sort of tag to tell me that what you're
sending is a synopsis, lest your summary get lost in the general hubbub
of my mailbox.]
