Note: I just started typing and my hands wouldn't stop. On reading this
after having hinished, i realize that some of this might be off-topic in
some way, and some of it may be repetitive, and more often than not
it'll sound rather incoherent, but it all needed to be said. (the
portion of this message written before this note ends at the *'s. the
rest will be rather more coherent and to-the-point.)

heh... being banned for what seems like forever sure gives someone time
to think...



I'm truly sorry  for all the crap the admins have had to deal with from
me, and i promise that once the list is back i'll try to be a better
citizen... netizen?... you know what i mean...



Thank you, White Wolf (aka Cherry Tiger aka something else i can't
remember) for unbanning me to at least allow this one farewell message.



Also, you guys should see some of the fic ideas i've had while i was
gone...  i'll post some of them when either the list is back up or i
have less school stuff to deal with, whichever's last.



I probably won't be back for a while, as i have school to deal with, but
i promise i'll come back.  This has happened (to me, not to the list i
don't think) before... i was so surprised when some friends in IRC years
later did a search on my name and found that i'd been nominated for the
chicken ball awards after my disappearance... well, thanks (i think),
whoever's in charge of that.



I can only hope that the renewed list has a better sense of what [TAGS]
are supposed to be for, and why not to use quoting characters for your
own comments (a trend which i regret having started) unless it's
absolutely necessary. Well, it's been a wild ride. between Tybalt and
the infamous flamer my first year here, the second year kicked off with
the PFML prank, then my computer troubles causing my absence from the
list, and then my unfortunate problems from my return until today, i can
truly say i've had my best and worst online experiences on this list.



I hope i'm not gone forever, but you can never truly control things like
this, and we can all only hope for the best.



It would be truly sad if the FFML were not to come back, and i hope it
does not come to that, but we'll all find a way to survive, right?



Ironically, my only regret is the fact that i am cursed with the
inability to make a good first impression, without which i'd probably
still be in a certain chatroom with anime the last thought on my mind.
My only problem, which indirectly caused all of my troubles with this
lists admins, also brought me to this list and to anime in general in
the first place. Sort of a mixed blessing, i guess.

***********

I need to know where i can find copies of anything that i have sent to
the list in the past, including but not limited to my ranma/matrix
crossover, my attempt at a ranma/odyssey crossover, and most importantly
(the one i still plan to work on), my condensed version of mtcff ULTRA.
does anyone know where i can find these? if anyone still has copies
please send.



Also, does anyone know where i can find the sailor moon altaverse fanfic
titled "Magical Boy Epic" or something like that? I know that the author
stopped writing it but i found the lengths it went to to stick to the
original story quite comedic if nothing else and i missed quite a few
chapters originally.
