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

[Prev chapters, Archive Number, Date/Time sent, Size(as in File size) and

them in if you can. If it's a lemon, please say so in the Genre.]

[That's that. Have fun reading, have fun writing, have fun sending me
