You want a FAQ? Happy to oblige. I, BTW, am the keeper of the FAQ
File...or one of the files, at any rate, having had to split this one
into three. Hope you enjoy.

Turnabout being fair play:

I access the Internet through a connection at the university where I
work (I work in the library, and as a professional librarian with
faculty rank I get an e-mail outlet). I am not a member of any clubs,
and the local sysop has locked out all the alt.fan.* groups, so I have
to resort to the mailing list. Why I took it upon myself to do the FAQ
File I'll never know but it's a great experience. Having merely read
about the process of the canonization of the Old Testament in a course I
took on Intertestamental Judaism, I find it fascinating that there are
parallels in the currently-ongoing work of putting together the StH
canon.

My one contribution to fanfic, "Bloodlines," is available for viewing on
David Pistone's web page. The original characters in that one are
products of my own imagination. I'm going to try posting another story
some time in July.

Looking forward to having you on the list.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled rodent.
