Re: Spreading B/W was -> Mad Hamlet's post

[Crys Loch <pagansoul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, Tater.  I agree.  I've been following, almost posting even.  
At least, thinking.  I'll admit, I didn't read the original rant, 
because it was off somewhere else.  But the resulting posts have been 
interesting.  I was late to this list because it is so specific.  I'm 
still not sure I belong here.  Even if this is my fav (though not the 
only one I read) couple.  Do you know how many feedbacks I received for 
the 'Game' series that started with the words, "I never read B/W fic, 
but..."?  Even my latest stories have two reviews on the Near Her Always 
archive from names I have never seen on any femslash list.  In fact, one 
of them writes W/S.  If this is close to the heart of the rant, may I 
suggest posting and even better, becoming true members of more general 
lists.  I suggest ucsl@xxxxxxxxx  (the unconventional shippers list)  
Any and all uncon. ships are welcome and I find the overall story 
quality fairly high.  Of course, it requires the ability to simply 
delete stories you might not be interested in.  As I'm sure most do 
mine.  Still, I continue to get the feedback beginning with the above 
quote.  And if part of the rant was 'how to make this list more active', 
well then, everything has to take place on this list for a start.  A 
further suggestion would be posting a challenge around the 'net town' 
for newcomers to join and dazzle us with their pairing ability.  Just my 
haypenny's worth after reading the thread here.
