Oh, dear. I have literally no clue where that one came from. It was one of the books that was read to me rather a lot when I was a child, sick in bed - but rather nice, I think, imagining that poor fuddled Tara was having a lovely wander with Dickon, feeding the robin, and not screaming hopelessly for Willow.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I love it Fay! But damn you for making me miss Firefly even more.

Hey. New board.
Wow, Fay, that was very good.
I come here for help. I have a plotline in my mind, for a fic I want to write. But I've never written fic before. How do you guys recommend I start? Should I just start writing, from the beginning, and go until I'm done? Or should I plan breaks before I begin? Should I start with characterizations, thoughts, putting my mind into the mind of my subjects?
Basically, I'm wanting of help. =)

Nova, not sure if it's you or me, but it's coming up on my machine (chapter one) as incredibly horizontal: a very looooong line that goes well beyond the width of my screen. I'm assuming it's a browser issue.
One thing jumped out, a typo you might want to fix pronto:
She fell prostate, sobbing,
ProstRATE. Not prostate.
Will try this again, and see if I can get the text to wrap.
edit: nope, I give up. It appears that my browser is reading this as a single long line that stretches on forever.
Formatting suggestions? I'd like to read it, but can't, not set up this way.

Hey. New board.
Wow, thanks Deb. Amazingly, I had prostrate first and "corrected" it backwards.
I'll see if I can't hard wrap the chapter for you, most browsers would wrap it but if it doesn't...
ETA: fixed it. It should be more readable now. Sorry 'bout that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
IE isn't wrapping it, either. I've seen this problem before with .txt files, but I forgot what the fix is.

Hey. New board.
I just made them into html files. Probably a good plan, anyway, as Fic is typically published online. =)
ETA: the problem with the text file was almost certainly caused by my computer being a Mac, and your Windows machine getting confused by the different style of line breaks.
