Honest, I'm just publically replying to the ones that I think should.
Don't kill me please.

        Well.. you know, Mark Doherty has this REALLY 
nifty WEELY SYNOPSYS thing, and well.. if EVERYONE were 
to use it, there would be a growing list of Fanfics, 
Genre, Type, Author, and short commentaries.

Well, this would be good, but it would require two things:  that
everyone send a synopsis to Mark, and that he have the time to compile
them all.  Neither is guaranteed to happen.  I sent in a synopsis once;
it never appeared.  And, when I have perused the list, it contains less
than half of the fics sent to the FFML, which means a lot of authors
don't bother.  

Well, that explains why you never send me a synopsis. There's been 
some sort of confusion here, Richard. The Ukyou story synopsis WAS in
the List, the week ending 7 June. If you want, I'll send you that
List, it was there. Possibly you missed it because it was a small one,
only about 7 lines for the whole All it Takes is A Spatula synop.

And I've tried the 'ask everyone for their synopses' thing individually,
it doesn't really work. Its up to the authors to have the synops rise 
above 1/2 the list's output, I can't really do anymore. I sent a 
post on this just last week, in fact.

I kinda think this is something that is doomed to fail.

I sometimes agree with you. But I'm trying, at least.
