Some are from IRC, but those are harder to keep reasonably edited. This segment of the scrapbook covers August and September. ----- Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 01:05:30 -0400 (EDT) From: Damon Jason Casale To: fanfic@andrew.cais.com Subject: Something else! Is Ranma all there is to the fanfic mailing list? Don't people write other fanfics? Which reminds me. I have a story that needs an anime to fanfic. (in other words, I'd like to see it made, but I wouldn't know where to start/who to ask, whatever) Anyone interested in prereading it? Damon Casale, dc56+@andrew.cmu.edu * Maison Ikkoku * Kyoko Otonashi * Video Girl Ai * Amano Ai * * Blue Lightning * Kerin Gray * Blue Lightning forever...Kerin, are you out there? ----- I joined the FFML in late August, just as it was starting up. (This was post number 33 in the archives) Looking a few posts back, I see one of Firehawke's at number 29, but from what he tells me he was there from the start. Unfortunate that the first 27 posts were lost. I posted my first attempt at prose, "Cyberica", on this same Friday, post number 38. And I was pointed towards a publishing lead for Blue Lightning, my fictional autobiography, by Hitomi Ichinohei. ----- Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 00:24:07 -0500 (CDT) From: Hitomi Ichinohei To: fanfic@andrew.cais.com Subject: Re: Something else!

By the way, it is the one that I am working on right now. As for some others that I am doing, well, they will be up as novels in the next year or so and they have nothing to do with Ranma. > Which reminds me. I have a story that needs an anime to fanfic.

Send a copy to: Dynelex Animation Corporate Head Office 75 Berkshire Bay Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada R2J 2L9 Write a cover letter and mail it to May. She is the head of the publicity department, and if she likes it, she will pass it on to Thomas Chan who is in charge of the art department or Tony Chan, our current president. Ichinohei Hitomi Hitomi_Ichinohei@MBnet.mb.ca ----- My earliest forays into the FFML weren't much. And the main attraction of my scrapbook wasn't to arrive on the scene until September. She *is* quite attractive, too. *smile* ----- Date: Wed, 27 Sep 1995 14:00:54 -0700 (PDT) From: The Blue Tigress Subject: A Lurker comes in from the cold :) To: fanfic@andrew.cais.com Hiya everyone!

Sapphire, The Blue Tigress "Call me Sapphy and you die. Rwarr!" ***** Nabiki and the Airship ----- I snipped the story for brevity's sake. It's archive post number 238, if it's not on the remailer. Saf was always funloving. And at least on the FFML, playfully violent. 8) This seemed to attract attention, though. ----- What do we call you for short, Sapphire??? Ben Harrison <72440.2345@compuserve.com> You can call me Saf :) The Blue Tigress OK just asking. I have a dislike of large predator cats attacking me.
