The Weekly FFML FanFic Synopses List
For the week ending 9 August 1997
Compiled by Mark Doherty <mdoherty@mailbox.uq.edu.au>
[Ed Notes: Here we go again. The Weekly Synopses List for the week
ending 9 August 1997. You can insert your own witty, insightful words
here as you like. ;) ]
[Because of the fact that my web server space is being downgraded, I have
to take down my fics by next week. However, that will mean I'll have a few
hundred web K to play with. Since there's not enough space for a full story
storage page, I'll be changing it to a synopses only page. So soonish, all
synopses will be available there, not just the last 4. I'll probably
compile the older lists into monthly lists, depending on whether that
really works well or not. (Just don't expect me to compile it all into
one big year list. I'm not that insane. At least, so I claim.) All further
updates on the web page will probably be delayed until then.]
[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.]

[Keep sending the synopses, author-type people. It would be nice
to see the Lists getting up to the dream of listing all synopses for
the week. Please use the form provided, answer what you feel
you can(name/email addy/story name/summary are all that I
need though, the rest of the fields just help the readers out a lot.]
[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 be sure to have some sort of tag to
tell me that what you're sending is a synopsis ([Syn] is fine), 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.]

78 chars or less.]
[That's that. Have fun reading, have fun writing, have fun sending me
