I dont know if im allowed to post an intro in a fanfic ml but i thought
its the proper way so as not so suddenly interrupt u guys here whos prolly
been around for some time already when ipost my fic.
I've gotten several complaints about this thread already, so it's hereby
banned.
While there's no specific prohibition in the FAQ (yet) against
introducing oneself on the list, it's frowned upon due to the sheer size
of the list population. Common sense should tell you that on a list with
two to three thousand accounts subscribed that having everyone introduce
his or her self would lead to everyone's mailbox being flooded.
So, in the interest of that not happening, please...
1) If you want to introduce yourself, put your introduction inside
another post that *should* be on the list -- a fanfic, or a thoughtful
comment on someone else's posted fic. Believe me, you'll make a much
more favorable impression that way anyway.
2) If you want to C&C someone's introduction, or anything else that
isn't a fanfic, please do it by private mail, so as not to compound the
spam with more spam.
3) If you aren't sure whether what you're about to post is acceptable,
write to ffml-admins@fanfic.com and ask before you post.
