I seem to vaguely recall that the posting of fanfiction on the ML is against 
the list rules.  Though, on a whim I checked the FAQ about it.  Found nothing 
on the subject,

     Frank Sanchez and I were the ones who pretty much built and 'maintained' 
the FAQ... (Yeah, yeah, I know it needs a serious overhaul... more on that, 
in a bit)  Frank and I never put anything about that on the FAQ because it 
was on the signup page.  If I could put it on the FAQ, I would.

though I did find the answers to several amazing questions such as:
     Are the ML people insane, or just strange?
     Do the ML people have real lives?
   and one of my favorites
     Are the ML people smart?

    LOL... Frank and I had a LOT of fun coming up with those...

Though, that said, I really don't see this ML as the proper forum in which to 
post fanfiction.  Could see some discussion of it though.  I mean I dunno 
about some other people, but I'm in a 6 hour matome okuri mode still, and I 
think my brain would overload if we had several people posting ficitons at 
once really.

     Though it is stated on the signup page that fanfiction isn't allowed, 
then again isn't RPing almost like fanfiction?  And that stuff was in 
_abundance_, back in the golden days of the ML.
 

      I can see people's point though with not starting to "allow" some 
people to post fanfiction, no matter how small.  As soon as one person is 
"allowed" to do so, others will follow suit.  If you really need a 'release' 
for fanfiction, try the FFML or FFML2.  If anyone here wants to see 
fanfiction it's fine to ask privately.

Good lord, the FAQ hasn't been updated since 98.  Has it truly been that long 
<boggle>

     Yeah, yeah... I'd tried to get around to fixing up the place back in '99 
or 2000, but stuff happens, y'know?  I even put out a general request if 
anyone was willing to help out, but I got no responses.  As it stands, now, 
though... Frank and I have totally forgotten all the passcodes to our 
account, so unless I somehow learn the ability to work around the clock, like 
Frank.  The only possibility would be that I'd have to completely redo the 
site with another provider.
 

      If anyone's up to the task, I'm more than willing to help in any way... 
but if not...  Still, the info on the current site still holds true, today.  
none of it is really obsolete.
