I suppose that could happen, and that's probably the reason why fanfic

requests

aren't banned outright. But I've been on the list for a long time, and the

vast

majority of fanfic requests that I've seen have been for things I don't

think

I'd *want* to find. Your mileage may vary.

No joke. Some of the fic requests I've seen, I've been like, "...WHY?"

I think you're engaging in revisionist history here, at least with respect

to

Granberry. When I banned him he was quite clear in knowing that he had it
coming. Kenko, to my knowledge, was never banned nor threatened with

banning, so

I'd be surprised if his leaving had anything to do with the list

moderation.

I didn't even know Kenko actually *left* the FFML. I just assumed he was
being vewy, vewy quiet.

And I don't remember who "Togashi Gaijin" is.

Mark Shurtleff, Author of the Ranma/SM crossover "Relatively Absent",
wherein Ranma becomes Sailor Pluto. His depature from the FFML was very loud
and very bitchy, and he's generally a complete jackass when you talk to him,
but he's a very good writer.

You probably would remember him more by his real name, because the "Togashi
Gaijin" handle was just how he signed his fics and website--when he posted
to the FFML, it was always as Mark Shurtleff.

I remember this list two years ago, when I had to filter the posts into
their own folder to keep up. I remember four years ago, when I could

expect

at least a couple of different, often long, chapters posted every day.
Considering that the fandom has grown exponentially in that time, why is
this list fading like it is?

Good question, and I don't know the answer, but I am reasonably sure that

you

aren't helping.

Now come on, Gary, THAT is EXACTLY the kind of thing that's being complained
about here. Just because you're not using an Admin tag right now doesn't
mean people have forgotten you ARE one, and an admin making a comment like
THAT doesn't really sit well with people. Ease up, mmkay?
