I once posted a fanfic of mine, here and on FF.net.
Where on FF.net I just got reviews on topic like what I smoked or good
stuff, write more. The people here gave constructive C&C and adviced
me to reread the manga (That's what I did after).
Currently, I'm rewriting Princess of the Kingdom? for higher quality
standards, and when I look back, I see that my writing sucked.
There are some perls on FF.net, but as that place is now flooded with
bad poetry and theater style fics, I keep to those authors I allready
know and read those.
I even reverted back to read nonread fiction in Rakhals archive.
I joined the FFML back then (under the nick of Imoto) to read more
fanfiction, it was fairly active then, but for the last two and a half
year, only about 280 topics were made.
The FAQ also descripes how to search for fanfiction, I think it's
helpfull, and the FFML still allows a last resort (I'm searching a
fic, again, where Ranma has fallen in the spring with the age of 6 and
Genma didn't know, the succesor of this fic is called "Letters from
China" or something, I don't really know.)
yes, that's a fic-request in a comment. Sue me.
Fanfiction.net houses lots of low quality fics, we all never would
read, and lots of bad spelling and grammar. (It hurtses me eyes!) and
some reviews address those wrongs, others just plain have the same
mistakes.
And challenges are one of the more interessting things in Fandom, as
it's not really possible for real Manga-Artists, Comic-Book writers or
Film makers.
I really enjoyed 'The Bet' and I think it still spawns some new FFs on
it's concept.
Maybe widening the accepted source material or just issue a new
contest, maybe based on the last topic, Parfaits and beeing female
while eating one.
And about the color VS. colour issue, both are right, also are
schliessen and schlie�en (both German for to close).
I once corrected all those es-z out of Mark Souls Fic, but he put them
in again. It was my work that was for nothing, so I respected that, in
some other countries, different spelling rules apply.
And that's one of the good points of Mailing Lists or Internet, it's
not hindered by physical borders (eccept bandwith and memory).
Using some sort of bulletin board or forum software to migrate the
current list in, would be a failure, I think. As allready stated by
various people before me, it's cumbersom to write good C&C and too
strict length restrictions.
Ways to spread the FFML and to get new subscripers are also allready
mentioned. And the only thing we need is time and a fitting URL. As a
server does allready exist.
I hope I'm not gonna be ignored

I browse ff.net, but won't post there. Yes, there IS *some* quality
writing there, but if you're judged by the company you keep, I'd
rather not be part of the company. Don't get me wrong - I don't
consider myself to be a great writer - I do it for fun.
Another problem I have with them is plagiarism - somebody took one
of my stories and put it up there nearly verbatim, and another
"writer" had the nerve to try to put Krista's "Hearts of Ice" on as
their work! There have been other incidents.
I'll stick with the FFML and my own page, thank you.
