I've been wondering about this for a while, especially since the
posting of SM 4200 Chapter 8, which I only got around to reading about
two weeks ago. ^_^;

    The FAQ says that the FFML is for the discussion of
(anime/manga) fanfics posted to the list, but it doesn't say anything
about having to respond within a certain time period.  So... is it
permissible to post C&C about a fic (or, in the case of ongoing
series, part of a fic) that has already been released to the web
archives, or is it an unwritten rule that the list deals only with
pre-release stuff?  Or, to put it another way, is there a time beyond
which established list practice (or even good manners) prohibits
commenting on a previously posted story?

I've seen people posting comments  on 'fics that had first been posted more
than a year before.  i don't believe there are any rules on the matter; it's
really more a question of how much you want to make a public comment -- and
whether you think it's still worth saying after however long a delay.

If you leave it too long, many people may not remember what you're talking
about.  On the other hand, it may get them interested enough in a 'fic to
prompt them to look again.  It's kind of an iffy thing. :)

In short -- it's entirely up to you.

Cheers,
Angus
