Yay! Right, I'm even strange when I'm not a person at all. _/^_^\_

Has anyone here thought about created a FFML web ring?  It would certainly
make it easier for us to get back issues of stories.

That's what the FFML Resources Guide is for. It lists web sites for all
the FFML people who submitted their URLs, as well as a lot of useful
databases and other sites that can help readers find the fics they want.

I have to agree with that, the RG is sufficient. Heck, nearly every big
anime site has it's section with a fair amount of fanfic links. A ring
really isn't needed.

There's plenty of resources out there to help readers find the fics they
want without spamming the list with requests, if they'll take a little
time to investigate what's out there and to save some basic information
(such as a copy of the RG, or one of the URLs where it can be found).
OTOH, no rings or other resources are going to help if people don't
bother to use them.

Again, I have to agree.
