Hey Linda,
Yep, we've got a mailing list set up on Yahoo -- the group's homepage is here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LCFic/ and that should explain how the list works

I think there's also a mailing list for nfic, but I don't have that info.
Welcome to the boards, and we'd be pleased to welcome you to the list, too

If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to ask, either here publicly, or privately to me -- I'm the list owner.
Enjoy
PJ
