∆§Indea§∆ - Okee, I do eet. I do eet!!! I stopped because somebody (nobody involved with the nanowrimo here, though!) was being annoying and pointing out errors in my first draft. But I don't think that will be a problem no more. That's right. I used a double negative. Double negative, I say! GLOBAL CHAOSSSS

DKender - Your mom soooo did not say that. Maybe the part about the cover being cool, but not the diss on you. Meanwhile, my brother is going to fly off for a visit to India on, like, wednesday, & would like to read our stuff. So here's the idea I have, and it has the added bonus of making the stories available to each other and & not necessarily the broader public: We all make PDFs, with our book covers stuck on the first page. If he can' t get 'em to work on his e-reader, he can still easily read them on his iPad. When everyone is finished, e-mail them to borfymaster at g m ail dot butt, and I'll put 'em on a webspace. But when I do that, it won't be up front and indexed by google. It'll just be on my server, & I'll PM direct links to anyone who wants to read them. Can you guys make PDFs? Do you have OpenOffice or Word or a version of Acrobat?

You got me! I was being a glib boo. For posterity, this is how the real conversation went down:
DK's mom: "I love dis cover. How'd u make it?"
DK: "I didn't ... (explanation of nanowrimo challenge)."
DK's mom: "He did a really good job."
But she was thinking the cool part.
My personal computers don't have PDF conversion, but there's probably something at the main school library. Sorry in advance if I don't get there by Wed. ;-;

That's weird, i thought since PDF export is possible on OpenOffice by default, it would be on other stuffs. Like, File menu, "export (as PDF)," make sure the "PDF/1A"(?) box is clicked on so it embed fonts as necessary, and Robert is your father's brother, unlessed I was mistaken.

Sweet! Also, Word can "save" as PDF. I should have used Google. Robert really is my uncle! 8O

Nyeeeeh, you're right. There are still summary places I haven't filled in to my liking, Dragon type errors, and redundant stuff galore, but he's not going to grade me. I'm just a perfectionist and stuff, and this winter/spring has been so busy and boohoohoo Q-Q!
I'll send it to you THIS HOUR! Even if it sux. Not like I can make it perfect in one afternoon, anyways.
Edit: Also lots of continuity errors. Who can spot em all!

I would like it too but if it'd make you feel better Deek I can hold out until you fix it to your liking? Although I will love it no matter what!! Thy Dungyeon Maestyr-I'm not sure if Brett wants mine, it's not finished. So only a half product there..

∆§Indea§∆ - Aw, thanks! Give me until the end of March - if I'm still procrastinating by then, you can read it with ALL THE FLAWS! The coolest part of the story, a high octane car chase with a scooter, was just summarized (sadly). I wanna write that.

DKender - Yeah, I'll take the unsatisfactory version for my bro now, and replace it with the cooler version whenever you get it ready. ∆§Indea§∆ - we can skip urs for this purpose if you prefer. He'll probably have plenty with the three 50k winners in hand...
