It's sort of hard to ask the author when you don't know who the author is
and no one on the list will tell you who the author is.  I should know.  I
asked the list in general this question (who is the author) and NO ONE REPLIED.

There are ways to find out without posting to the list.

1) Check Mark Doherty's synopses lists -- I'm quite sure this story was
on the latest one.

2) Use the archiver. Simple and easy, and can be used by anyone.

3) Ask around. I for one will *gladly* send anyone any story that I have
if asked by private E-mail; and if I don't have it, I might know who the
author is (as in this case I obviously did). If someone comments on a
fic, it's likely that you can get the fic and/or the author from
him/her. I include the author's name and address in my comment posts.

Until you started yelling about it.

I apologize for raising my (electronic) voice; but 99% of these"fic
request" posts do not need to be on the list IMO. They contribute
nothing to meaningful discussion of fics, and both WW and Tybalt have
said they don't want this kind of post on the list.
