Chapter Five of Kestra is now up on my website! (I have a chapter 6 and a chapter 7 lined up, but I haven't re-read them for consistancy, and I plan not to work on Kestra over the weekend...)
(haha! no email link! you will have to go to, uh, just about any other page, to get one!) Ok, that's just funny. *Is still trying to regain a serious face 5 minutes after reading it.*
Have you thought about writing Kestra in LaTeX? If you haven't looked into it, it's easier than you thought. It's ideal for writing books/articles (and can be exported cleanly to text,rtf,pdf,html,postscript,dvi...)
I shall probably print Kestra off soon so I can actually read it without getting distracted every 2 seconds.
it's not as if I'm doing any maths formulae in it, or anything.
or have I somehow misunderstood you?
(oh, you mean for portability? this is a fanfic. plus I need the practice at HTML, although as I'm just copy-pasting bits and the type of baby-HTML I'm using is hardly rocket science anyway I'm not sure if that's an reason or an excuse.)
a) if you know LaTex (it's not so easy to learn). b) when you come to publishing.
Purely for copyright reasons I would think that Michelle won't be publishing this (but obviously if it weren't for that then she would be ..).
Neil, who tried reading more Kestra: he really did. But it reached the point[1] where carrying on would have meant I had to shoot someone. Kestra for preferance, but the author would make an adaquete second choice.
[1] Where she comes home from school, just into the first chapter.
It might enlighten you to know I asked "Why do you have "You can always email me if you're really bored." on *every* *page* of your website?" on chess's question thinggie.
I admit I do have a very dry sense of humour though. :)
Yes, I did read that comment, and did remember it. Evidently we don't have the same sense of humour (and Michelle: if it works atall then really only on one page (not that you need more than one page as presently you have a page offering ... Kestra and back ... hmm is this useful?)).

[1] That my friends (or rather, Michelle's friends) is called a tautology. You should make fun of me for it.
