drafts before they went to the RAAC, right?  Why can't we do the
same with
fanfic.net?  "Don't trust the reviewer who typed 'wat a goooood fic'?
Submit it to the FFML for some quality commentary."  Sure, those
who don't
care about how to improve their writing won't want to join - but those
aren't the sort of people we'd necessarily want, anyway.

Which was my earlier point, but it means opening up to a wider range
of fandoms and we're gonna be opening ourselves to some things like
Spam and ad-bots.

Heh.  I'd assumed that as a given, since no one seems opposed to it.

The idea that you can get balls to the wall no holds barred critique
here is why I've stuck around here for so long.

Yeah.  And honestly, I don't have a fanfic.net account because I'm more
interested in quality feedback for improvement than posting something for
public consumption.  I could always get my own webpage, if I wanted that.

Admittedly, I'd probably get more C&C if I handed it out, but I
really don't know much about spelling and grammer and the mechanics
to hand it out.

Try anyway.  One of the nice things about trying to explain to someone
else why a sentence doesn't work is that it helps you understand it as
well.

In any case, yeah. But whatever happens, the FFML does need to
evolve. Somehow.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner,
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I had been betrayed.  "Tell me,"
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao," he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
