But really, I hate to say it, don't think any of that'll work. The list
isn't dying, at core, because of policy or even really because of
competition. It's dying because the thing it was founded on has gone
stagnant, and the old writers and commentators aren't being replaced with
new ones when they leave or stop writing.

Which brings us back to the questions:
1) Is there anywhere that one can find substantive review of a fanfic?
2) If not, can the FFML be revamped to fill that niche?

I'd assumed that we'd already concluded that the answers were 1) no.  and
2) yes, let's try it.  The discussion regarding scope(HP, American
cartoons), interface (forum, LJ, ML, or combination thereof), and
promotion has just been a followthrough from that.

Or did I miss something?

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I had been betrayed.  "Tell me,"
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao," he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
