that second root, by opening the
list to original stories, using original characters.
It seems to me that we are more
likely to learn more from each other, and become
better writers, if we occasionally take off the 
training wheels.
   

Yeah!  Bring on the Self-Insertions!  I want to see an
upsurge in the interest in that field.  Can they still
be done with style and original flair?  I like to
think so.  ^_^

Heh.

Seriously though, it has been my understanding that
stories with an [original] tag are welcome here on the
list, as long as they have a strong anime flavor.  And
isn't that what we're all here for?  The anime flavoring?

 

Thus quote the FAQ:  http://ffml.anifics.com/faq.txt

* WHAT IS THE FANFIC MAILING LIST?

  The fanfic mailing list (FFML, or ML for short) is a forum for authors
  and fans to discuss fanfics (fanfiction stories) with an anime/manga
  theme that are posted to the FFML. Generally, this means stories
  involving settings, characters, props, attacks or any combination of
  the above from anime/manga.  

  And just in case you don't know what anime or manga is, anime refers 
  to Japanese animation (cartoons) and manga refers to Japanese graphic 
  novels (comic books).



The word "original" does not appear anyplace in the FAQ.

P.S. The word "watermelon" does not appear anyplace in the FAQ either.
