Well, both of these omissions are already covered in one paragraph in
section 4 of the Primer. Here it is again:

Oh, and what is "FMP"? I don't have that on the Acronym List yet.

(BTW, there's a perfectly good plot in Outlaw Star...)

There's another title that I have seen that falls in under the same
catergory as Vandread. It's not on the list yeat and I'm thinking of writing
