Hi!

	Well, just saying goodbye.
	I'm unsubscribing (it has nothing to do with the latest C&C
debate, or any of the other silly issues that frequently resurface on the
ML), since I'm losing my IP, and have no idea when I'll have net access
again.  Beside, I've already got a large backlog of fics I want to read
and C&C, and lots of writing to do, so it'll give me a chance to catch up.
	Don't know when I'll return.  I'm moving to Japan (yay!) for a
year (possibly longer) to teach English, so fanfiction isn't exactly my
top concern right now.  Still, I'm going to make every effort to finish
the fic I'm currently working on -- I hate leaving thing undone.
	Anyway, it's been great.  FOr all it's occassional silliness, the
FFML remains a great forum for exchanging fiction and receiving feedback.
At the very least, its acts as an excellent motivator to keep writing, and
ultimately, the best way to improve writing skills is simply to write
more.  I'm positive I'm better now than I was when I first stumbled across
the FFML two, three years ago, and while none of my fics are publishable,
I'm hoping I may be able now to produce material that is.

	Well, gotta pack, later!

(I should still be able to access this address for the next few weeks, via
telnet, so I'll still be able to answer e-mail for awhile, anyway.  After
July 17th, though, I'll be in Japan, so that'll make it a bit tougher for
a bit, anyway.)
