[FFML] A thought on the future of the FFML

[Robyn, Duke of Amber]

Jumping on this a week or so late but I agree that the FFML is *NOT* and 
should not be fanfiction.net.
  I lurk, I admit it and sometimes I don't have a chance to read but a few 
select stories.
I haven't contributed in AGES (as in 10 years or so)  (Good God!)
but if I am here there are others "just lurkin" as well and if the list
  goes through any radical changes I probably will follow it to a different 
interation. I agree that C&C must also be a part of whatever occurs here 
or writing just becomes masterbation.
