Admin: This is the second part of an unofficial and incomplete directory
of threads currently active in the newsgroup alt.dragons-inn, listing
threads beginning with the letters F through Z (actually, W). The
information contained herein was compiled with the assistance of the folks
identified as "thread admin" for each storyline. Anyone who would like to
add their thread to this directory should use the standard format below
and email the addition to talorina@maniac.deathstar.org. Changes to
current entries should be sent to the same address. Information regarding
the month/year when a thread first started, and any Web pages relevant to
the threads, are especially welcome.
HOW TO USE THIS FAQ: This directory is intended to give only the briefest
explanation of a storyline. Requests for further information or for past
posts in any thread -- and especially any questions on whether a new
player may join an existing thread -- should be directed to the email
address listed after "thread admin."

[newsbeat]:
The Montfort Mime (which has been dormant since August 1996)
is both an "in character" storyline and an "out of character"
service for the newsgroup. Distributed on a semi-regular basis,
the Mime consists of "in character" news reports of recent events
in the various threads in ad-i.
Given staff shake-ups, the Mime is seeking players who are willing
to commit to monitoring storyines (typically ones in which they
have characters) and writing up news stories.
Management also is contemplating starting a tabloid-type
newspaper, The Montfort Inquisitor.
