Okay. I just want to make sure that everyone has a chance to do this.
I am setting up my own impromptu mailing list. Any interested
parties must reply no later than January 31st. Sorry for the time limit, but
this will be running on my own home computer, and I want to keep things
kinda small.
There are no pre-requisites to joining. All email addys will be
placed in a nickname file so I can forward fics. I'll explain the sort-of
rules (I'm flying by the seat of my pants, here) below:
Fics must be sent to jedediah@tri-countynet.net, and tagged the way
they are required on the list (series, genre, etc.). I'll add my own tags so
you can tell between fics and your own personal mail.
Acceptable posts are: Fanfics (duh! ^_^), and C&C. As for spam,
well, I'll accept webpage updates, and that's about it.
As for unacceptable posts, well, whatever's in the FFML FAQ (Dead
Horses, flames, chain letters, and so on).
I'm also looking for people who are interested in helping me
moderate any traffic.
A few notes, tho. I'll send out posts four times daily, when
possible. Kinda like digests. If, for some reason, I am unable to do that I
will try to warn you beforehand.
Also, these fics will be forwarded from my own email address. For
fics I don't write, I will include the name of the author in the subject,
and the name and email at the top of the message.
Third, please limit your posts to about 20-25K. Split them if you
have to, but my mailer can only handle messages up to a certain size before
truncating them.
Last, if you only want fics from a certain series, let me know so I
can make the arrangements.
Please note; This is *only* *temporary*. I cannot replace the FFML,
and am doing this so some of us here can still swap fanfics. It may not be
much, but I am willing to try if you are willing to help.
I encourage others out there to do the same, if you can/want to.
This way, we can still write until White Wolf can find the list a new home.
Once he does, then we can go back to that.
God, I hope it's soon. ^_^
Thank you, and you are welcome.
Knight Writer.
