The idea being that at some point I would look in my notes and just
e-mail the author for the fic.  However, I prefer just popping about
webpages, so if you have one, just tell me.  Some people I already
have the page, like RpM, and Lurker is somewhere in Geocities.  Even
so, send me a line anyway, because I have a terrible memory.  I
cannot, for instance, think of anything Kleppe has written except
Cat's Prey, and _that_ is iffy.

Just a few notes.  There is already a system where the title of a
fanfic and the email address is stored, and where one can search it
using the title (gleaned from the Subject: header) or author identity
(gleaned from the From: header).  It's mostly automated, so it's far
more easier to maintain than what this person previously wanted to do
(it's also probably more extensive).  It obviously isn't going to be
able to store URLs, though.  (And it's only for the FFML (I've seen
some people trying to search for stuff posted only on RAAC).)

The system is located at the "author database" section at the FFML
homepage <http://illusion.snu.ac.kr/~wacko/ffml/>.  This site also
happens to maintain a list of links to some fanfic authors' homepages
(not a lot, since I add links only when I feel like it), among other
things.

[BTW, White Wolf, when is www.fanfic.com going online?  When I asked
in January and May, the answer was "soon".  I'd like to start calling
my site the "unofficial FFML page", you know. ;) (Or maybe I'm not the
only one whose definition of "soon" is "in a few years". :) It would
be nice to have access to an archive that includes *all* posts ever
made to the FFML. ]
