Heh. The footnotes weren't too bad once I figured out what they *were*, though I don't think I quite got them formatted correctly in the end. Ah well, live and learn ...

Heh, they look fine to me. I'm still wincing a little at the typos in that one (and Rodney referring to Parrish as a biologist, d'oh). I think how you had to note any special formatting for the Big Bang stories was rather nice, so there aren't any weird surprises like that at one in the morning.

That clean HTML sounds very handy. The processes I have to got through in Word is a little annoying, but I can actually use the macros to make formatting for different sites at the same time (plus my Kindle), so it works out. There's a lot of bloat in MS Office IMO -- but I just can't seem to go back to WordPad, which is where I used to write.

Sometimes I write the tags in at the beginning, but I don't usually like to do that; it's too hard to convert the "b" and "i" and so forth to the correct formatting in my head.

Yeah, for writing rough draft, I can definitely see that hampering the process some. I've been writing in Notepad a lot lately, and I wind up using asteriks usually to indicate the italics. It's helpful in a way, because it forces me to go back an reread and tweak things along the way.

p.s. what's that icon from? It's really cute, but I keep forgetting to ask!

It's from a movie called Four Brothers, sort of my guilty pleasure fandom. Have you seen it? I'm not sure if it's exactly your kind of movie, but there are some elements in it I'd think you'd enjoy.
