[Some notes from the moderator. The list below represents output from a
set of perl scripts that were hastily cobbled together in two days. Any
errors should be reported back to me, so I can fix the scripts and send
them to the Moderator for the next week, Sean Conner.

The FFML Synopses List
======================
For the week of: November 1, 1997 - November 7, 1997
Moderator on Duty: Key
Total Synopses: 27
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.

A sidestory to I'm Here to Help, this has since been revised

I'm Here to Help offered the view of one of Serenity's most ardant haters.
Is he right, in all he claims? Is Serenity as good as we were lead to believe,
or is she as bad as he believes? I'm not telling. ^_^
But alternate views will be offered, and from them, you can decide on the
truth. And this is the first view in that series.
