Fan Comments
1996
Hello? I read your posting about a mailing list, but frankly, I'm a bit confused. I would like to join, but I don't understand how the list is handled. Right now, it is more a barrage of information than anything I can make heads or tails out of. Perhaps it's just my server...things tend to get a bit mixed up when it goes through my computer. Anyway, write back with some more details. BTW, does this cost any money? I can't afford much right now. :) -- Wai Wai Siak
- I'm sure you can learn more about it from him...but I subscribe to the mailing list and I think I can answer some of your questions. It's totally free and has all sorts of QL news, current happenings and that sort of thing...plus a fanfic that comes with the newsletter, about 1 chapter a day usually. It has a lot of info that's already from this newsgroup but some that isn't. -- Erin
- It's absolutely free. It's a weekly newsletter in three parts, two of which are optional. Part one, the main part, holds news, You know you are an obsessed leaper when, this week in QL history, sightings of QL, Dean, Scott on other newsgroups, QL quizzes, a featured QL web site and more. Part two is the Fan Fiction story. One part of it a week. Part three is the issue that was out one year ago. These two are optional. -- Boris Zakharin [3]
