what is a c and c?

<sighs> This just proves my point about people not reading the FFML FAQ.

Since some people are obviously incapable of reading the FAQ on their
own...this is an excerpt from the FAQ which explains C&C.



* WHAT IS C&C?

Comments and criticisms.  Every author wants feedback on their
stories to help improve them.  After all, this is what the list is
really for.

When sending comments or criticisms to an author, there are a few
things to consider before posting your observations:

1) Lurk for a while before posting to the list. Spend some time
getting to know the FanFic ML. There is no better way to find out
about etiquette and 'unspoken' rules.

2) Some authors want comments on creative content (plot,
characterization, etc.) while others like a more detailed analysis of
their stories that includes technical aspects such as grammar and
spelling. Some authors greatly appreciate honest negative criticism,
while others would prefer those without anything nice to say to say
nothing at all. Often authors will indicate what kind of feedback
they are looking for in their authors' notes. If not, consider asking
the author via private email which type of response they would prefer.

3) Posting your C & C to the mailing list is fine unless the author
states otherwise. If an author specifically asks for private comments
then you should abide by their wishes.

4) In your C&C, quote however much (if any) of the story is necessary
or helpful for readers to understand what you are referring to.
Sections that you have no comment on should be snipped. Do NOT repost
an entire fic or section merely to add a line or two of commentary.

For an expanded discussion of this, see the "What is C&C" FAQ
Supplement. This is available via E-mail from the FAQ maintainers, and
should be on the web soon.
