As a newbie to the FFML, that raises a question in my mind. What is the
accepted procedure for C&C? Is it assumed that C&C should be sent
privately, or should it be posted to the mailing list for all to see? Most
of the responses for my own story have been sent to my email, rather than
posted, and I've mainly done the same, but speaking for myself, I wouldn't
mind at all if it was all open posting. I think that if everyone was able
to see the comments made by other people, there would be less duplication
of critique, which has happened a lot.
In that same direction, how about MST's? Are they supposed to be
generally posted, or sent to the author first?
