*sigh* I guess.  I mean, it's going to be such a pain to go through and fix all of my chapters, but oh well.  *peace*

Well, it's not a huge deal. If you want to do the underlines, feel free to do so. It's not incredibly productive to go back and change it. All I'm saying is that we shouldn't require underlines to be used.

No, I was teasing about the font size thing.  I've been typing everything at 10 pt.  I agree that it should be a personal choice thing for underline/italics.

I don't care either way, I'll be reading your stuff on my fancy eReader anyway, which blatantly disregards all formatting options. 8)

Likely the major problem she is having is that she wrote chapter titles in a bigger size than the rest or something like that.

Or maybe she was just being sarcastic.

Sarcasm? I'm unfamiliar with the term. Perhaps it is a corruption of Latin sor and chasma? I am uncertain what a deep rift has to do with our discussion. Was she being rude and trying to end this conversation by becoming a deep rift, thereby spreading our posts and us as a group further apart? I must find out more about this sorchasmal paradox. It has split my mind. On one side I believe you are actually talking about tearing off my flesh, but on the other I just think that there's a separation between us.

I say we submit in webdings. It's a code unbreakable by even the most knowledgeable security expert.

Sorry everyone, I've been having a lot of problems.  I'm running a few weeks behind.  I might be able to have something to submit by the end of next week though.

EDIT - Oh, I just read that I don't have to submit until the fifteenth. ha ha.  Sorry about that.  Yeah, I should have something by then.  I just suddenly got a bunch of e-mails and was like. . .ah crap! ha ha.

Same here. Turned on my PDA, and it went crazy downloading all the emails and attachments into Outlook. ^^ This looks like it's going to be fun.

I believe Chaos PMed Fell about us not actually being able to pin things and stuff, so we'll just have to wait and see for the moment. I kind of hate to pester them...

Since this seems the place to ask questions, I'll add mine here.

Looking at the boards I see six threads on stories I haven't read. One of those was due to the docx format and the converter patch not working on my vista 64 system, but that leaves five stories that I simply didn't receive in the mail.
Where those stories sent out to only a limited amount of people, or is it due to technical issues that I didn't receive them?

All stories should have been sent to everyone. If you let us know which ones you are missing we can request they be resent.

Hmmm... now you've got me wondering if I received them all as well... I have 8 saved, but may have a couple more still attached to emails. I'll check.
