A new important modification to this site will now be the use of another e-mail address for those of you who are interested in sending me submissions for fan fictions.  This section is growing very rapidly, and the site regular e-mail is almost constantly overloaded by regular messages AND submissions.  While I'm really very pleased with this situation, - It shows how interested you are with this site! - I thought it would be useful for now on to add this new e-mail.  Submissions sent on the regular one will also be accepted, of course.  It's just a way for me to relieve my e-mail box.  The new address for submitting stories is now: spectrum_hq@hotmail.com.  Continue to write!  I'm receiving a lot of interesting stories!
