The Weekly FFML FanFic Synopses List
For the week ending 14 June 1997
Compiled by Mark Doherty <mdoherty@mailbox.uq.edu.au>
[Ed Notes: Here we go again. The Weekly Synopses List for the
week ending 14 June 1997. What, did my going on about non-Ranma fics
last week scare Ranma authors off or something? There's actually not
that many Ranma synopses this week, it looks like FFML downtime really
kills off synopsis sends for some reason.]
[There's an HTML version of this on my home page, which is at:
http://www.uq.edu.au/~zzhdoher/list.html
Check it out, all the mail and web sites are linked, so it's quite useful.
If anyone wants to archive all the lists, not just the last four, then
please tell me so I can link your site in later lists. After all, from
next week on, the oldest List gets shunted off my page every time I
update.]
[Standard disclaimer: I take no responsibility for the content/accuracy
of the summaries, or any of the information pertained within. If you have
a problem with a summary that does not deal with its format, then please
contact the individual author.]

RANMA 1/2
"Catch If Catch Can"
by Ryan Anderson <andersor@cs.colorado.edu>
Other Chapters/Stories can be found at:
email me(though I should have a web page soon.)
Genre: umm... light drama? short story
Date/time story was sent to FFML: As soon as the FFML is back up.
Ranma is bored, but its nothing a quick trip to the Nekohanten won't cure.
This is a pretty light story that is basically a response to all those
soft, romantic Ranma and Akane fics that seem to be popping up all over
the place. It shows the lighter, more playful side of Ranma and Shampoo.
Its also kinda a precurser to Purple Haired Destiny, but definately not
required reading or anything.

different) and each goes on his or her own quest to find the legendary
sword SoulEdge. Then they start meeting each other and the fun begins.
No prior knowledge of SoulEdge is needed, BTW.

Size: small (5-10K)

paid and a young man from Nerima is brought back from the grave to make
sure someone pays it! Look for (as Mat Postner said) one of the strangest
curse transformation sequences ever.
******************
[Hope that helped you all in some way, be you a reader, a writer,
or both. Now that that's out of the way, the new week starts, and
new fics come out. So all you authors send me your synopses for
whatever you will be releasing this week. Please use the form, and
please make it as easy for me as possible by filling out all the
questions you plan to answer, instead of saying things like 'refer to
header for email addy' or 'refer to sig for web address', and try to
give web addresses even when you think the site is well known(such as
the 100% Anime place, and the RAAC Archive). Every little bit helps.]
[Here is the easiest way to send your synopses, a blank synopsis form
to fill out. Remember, don't send these to the FFML, just to me, otherwise
it will create unwanted spam. PLEASE, if you use the form from here, slice
out the fic stuff above, I can do without 20K posts on one synopsis.
Please also be sure to have some sort of tag to tell me that what you're
sending is a synopsis, lest your summary get lost in the general hubbub
of my mailbox.]
