[ An apology in advance.
Since something important turned up this week for the assigned
moderator, I've taken up where she left off and in about a day,
scrounged through my email inbox, looking frantically for anything
with a [synopses-list] tag.
Anyhow, the count this week seemed a little low, so I'm worrying
whether I missed anything. My fingers are crossed...
Actually, to prevent mistakes like this from happening, sometime
in the next two weeks, an auto-verify will email back a response
to all submissions. Perhaps this will make our lives easier.
I apologize in advance for missed submissions.

The FFML Synopses List
======================
For the week of: Nov. 15 - Nov. 21
Moderator on Duty: Key (filling in)
Submitted Synopses: 20
This is the text version of the FFML Synopses List. If any of
the fics in this list seem interesting, you are suggested to
either use the FFML Archive Number, if provided, to retrieve the
fic from the FFML Archive, or to email the author. As stated
quite emphatically in the FFML FAQ, _DO NOT SEND REQUESTS TO THE
FFML_. Although, personally we won't do anything, chances are,
you might get verbally abused by a few... (j/k, most people on
the list are quite tolerant and do not bite... Just don't post
20 requests in a row...)
This list is sorted by series, and within each series, ordered
alphabetically, according to last names. The synopses here
represent whatever has been sent to us, from Saturday to Friday.
