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...)

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.

Uhm...

why would I write a fanfic in LaTeX?

apart from general masochistic tendancies?

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.)

I thought it would make life easier. Ignore me.

Either you're taking sarcasm to new and unprecendented[1] levels, or we have very different sense of humour.

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

Easier:

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. :)

I'll read it when I have time. Provided that you coment on my fic...

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?)).

Of course it isn't useful.
