The Weekly FFML FanFic Synopses List
For the week ending 19 July 1997
Compiled by Mark Doherty <mdoherty@mailbox.uq.edu.au>
[Ed Notes: Here we go again. The Weekly Synopses List for the week
ending 19 July 1997. Certain comments I've been receiving, both
recently and over the space of the previous weeks, has convinced
me that a Synopses FAQ is essential. If anyone feels like suggesting
anything that should be in the FAQ, go ahead. I don't mind outside
input.]
[There's an HTML version of this on my home page, which is at:
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.]
[Standard disclaimer: I take no responsibility for the content/accuracy
of the summaries, or any of the information pertained within. If you have
a problem with a summary that does not deal with its format, then please
contact the individual author.]

******************
[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.]

weeks synopses, I'll remove it as a seperate question.]
[Prev chapters, Archive Number, Date/Time sent, Size(as in File size) and
Genre are all optional questions, but they're all very helpful, so fill
them in if you can. If it's a lemon, please say so in the Genre.]
[As always, the summary cannot be more than 10 lines, wordwrapped to
78 chars or less.]
[That's that. Have fun reading, have fun writing, have fun sending me
those synopses, and ciao.]
