About the List- Please read before deciding to join List Rules and Guidelines Managing your Subscription Archiving Stories
The DM list is for discussion of and fanfic about all possible aspects of the relationship between Duncan MacLeod and Methos. This frequently includes adult material, including slash, so if you are uncomfortable with this you should not join the list. Likewise, you must also be willing to accept views of those on the list who do not see a slash relationship. Tolerance is the watchword.
You must be at least eighteen years of age, or the age of majority in your country, to join.
Please keep ON TOPIC as much as possible. Occasional off topic posts are welcome, but please mark them OT: in the subject line so people who don't want to read off topic posts can delete them. Please note the word "occasional" - if most of your posts are off topic you should probably reconsider sending them. Also, please check to see if virus alerts, etc. are real before passing them on.
NO FLAMES. While lively discussion and sharing of opinions is encouraged, flames (attacking someone personally on list) will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If you are mad about something someone says, try waiting a while before replying or write your scathing reply and then delete it before sending.
ABSOLUTELY NO FORWARDING of posts on or off list without the original writer's permission. The only exception would be posts originating in a public forum such as a newsgroup, or informational posts obviously meant for distribution. Other mailing lists are not considered public. If in doubt, please ask. Please remove all extraneous headers from the message. Always check with the sender before forwarding list posts elsewhere.
QUOTING part of a message you are replying to is useful, but please delete anything not relevant. It makes your message much easier to read, especially for people on digest.

Note: The list is set up so that all replies go to the list. If you want to send a private reply, remember to edit the "Reply To" field.
There are currently four options available:
Once you've set your options, don't forget to click on "Save Changes".
Individual Emails This just means that each email message sent to the list will be received by you as an individual email Daily Digest List messages are periodically compiled together into one large email mesage and then sent to you. No Mail/Web Only You will not receive any messages via email, but you will still have access to the list messages via the web. This option does not prevent you from sending messages to the list. This option is particularly useful when you need to go on vacation and you don't want you mailbox to overflow.
Unsubscribe Pretty self-explanatory; you no longer wish to be a member of the list.
Or, if you'd rather not use the web interface, you can also just send email to
Duncan_Methos-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
Currently there is no central archive for stories posted to the DM list. The reason is because most members already have their own web pages and it was felt that it would be redundant.
Stories might also be found in the Files section of the list or more likely, they will have been posted to the list and can be found through the Messages section. Also check the links page for pointers to author's sites.
If you don't have your own web space, but would like to publish your fiction on the web, there are at least two excellent Highlander archive sites. The Unthinkable Alternative Archive is devoted to Duncan-Methos relationship stories (mostly slash). The other is the Seventh Dimension Highlander Fanfic Archive, probably the most inclusive of all Highlander archives. They accept every kind of Highlander fan fiction, including general, adult, slash, crossover, etc.
