but an episode summary is required. The alternate form below reflects
this change. Err... maybe I should be ecstatic that my first draft

Series Summary:
In the early 1800's, Ramon (Macho) Caballo is a boy who is cursed to
turn into a girl when splashed with hot water. Learning that he has a
sister who has been raised by the Apache, he sets off to find her.
Accompanied by his friends (Red Cloud, Wolfwalker, Sandy, and Lonesome),
he finds his sister (Lucha). The problem is, Lucha thinks he is really
a girl (Machita) and they have a pervert brother (Ramon). Meanwhile,
villains sent from Mexico try to waylay them.
Chapter Summary:
Our heroes/heroines have battled dogs, javelinas, and an Espuma, after
which Machita announced her engagement to Sandy. Now it is the night
after the evening before. Now it is time to relax, kick back, get a
little shut-eye, perhaps dream a bit. The Apache shaman Nomiro finds
someone who agrees with his snap decision to marry off Lucha, someone
says, "A double wedding! For sisters, no less!" and Machita gets
deeper in trouble. Just a normal evening in the wild west. ^_^

Another month passes by, and suddenly, the summer is over. Much as I'd
like to go and gripe, I'll reminisce about Mark Doherty beginning the
Synopsis List more than two years ago.
When it came out, I immediately made a synopsis for each of the fanfic
posts the Zu had come out with at that time. I bought in to Mark's
schtick of making the stories more read, by advertisement, watched the
coming (and current absence) of the Reviews List. I have not missed one
synopsis submission of a new fanfic post for the Zu since. I do admit
that I have not even begun to give my share of C&C (at least, equal to
the amount that my fics have gotten), the synopses in this list have
helped open my horizons to the new writings coming out, kept me updated
on old favorites, authors and stories, and, with my working on the list
compilation, made me feel that I had done some good for the mailing list.
I hope that you have enjoyed this service by us, new and old, and would
continue to support this project. My thanks to Mark, to Sean Connor,
who took the reins from Mark, and to Michael Chen and Florencio de la
Merced, Jr. who continue to take this load with me. This sentence makes
this paragraph 15 lines long... total maximum size for a story summary.
Where was I... oh yes. If you have any complaints, comments, donations,
proposals or reaction to the compilation of this you would like to share
with us, the following are the suggested electronic means to do so:
