story or Oh My God or Rhi an TI's Excellant Adventure. It 
isn't the type of story it's how well done it is. Dis the 
author bore you or catch your interest? Ideas alone just 
don't do the job but an old plot  put in a new way and told 
with good characterization-that is worth reading. Example 
read the original five Myth Adventures by Robert Aspirin.

P.S. why does everybody tag these as FFML? I mean we are 
sending them to a special address for the FFML.

It's a tag that WWolf's machine adds automatically so we can tell at a 
glance which is list mail and which isn't.  That way, you're less likely to 
accidentally delete an important non-FFML message with a heap of mass-
-deleted FFML stuff.
