When I do make those changes, I will be using the same publishing
model I used with newRanma. I'm not going to accept any kind of story
input. Even if it makes The Clan a worse story, it will still be *my*
story, and I will have had fun writing it.

I very much hope that all of you who were prereading before won't be
mad at me for cutting you out of the process like that. With newRanma,
I've found that I just have more fun when I'm playing a solo.

Your decision is a sound one if it makes writing enjoyable for you.

However, as a favor to members of the FFML, it would be nice if you 
would state at the beginning of your chapters that you positively do not 
want any C&C beyond catching spelling and grammar errors, if you even 
want that. I'm sure you noticed that several people took time to write 
out detailed responses to chapters. If you had generally let people know 
ahead of time that you weren't going to pay attention to suggestions, 
they could have avoided wasting their time and instead lent suggestions 
to those who would more appreciate it.

Most people on the list do just lurk and read, and I'm sure more people 
have enjoyed your story than have taken the time to mention so. Simply 
reading the chapters you put out is much less of an investment of time 
than providing C&C, but those who are willing to write C&C should be 
warned to find other targets.

This goes for any other writers who do not want C&C as well...not that I 
am asking on behalf of other list members or anything. I ask out of pure 
self-interest. ^_^ I like giving C&C and would personally want to know 
ahead of time whether it would be ignored.
