*clears throat* OK, so... I think pretty much all of you know about my writing, and my futile attempts to get published. Earlier this year I was thinking about self-publishing, but I've found out a little more about it now, and it's just not going to happen (unless I make the prostitution running joke a reality... ;D) So I decided to get off my arse and start doing something about it. I've put the first few chapters online, and I'm going to try and get people to review it. Then I can wave it in the publishers' faces and shout "Look, people are reading it!" As for how I'm going to make people read it...basically, I'm going to have to out-shill Stu. If that's humanly possible. Anyway (and I'm feeling all embarrassed now, which shows that I'm never really going to out-shill Stu, because I have shame ;D): to those of you who have reviewed, THANK YOU; to those of you who haven't (TIM), please please PLEASE do; and if you can, please spread the word. OK, done now. www.angelfire.com/falcon2/the_shadows/index.html

*hides*
I just keep forgetting that I have it on my computer...and then I think "I've got to read the second half of that", and then I have to go and do something else...and then when I come back, I've forgotten about it again. -_-;;
I'm going to say to myself "I challenge YOU (ie. me) to finish this thing by midnight this Saturday!" and see what that does...

I shall declare you a graduate in amateur HTML when you have linked our site to it, and linked it back... therefore shilling both at the same time!

If you can teach me how to make my banner clickable, that would be great... (yup, I made a banner...very minimalistic and black, but a banner nonetheless...)

...Can I push the deadline back until like, Wednesday? My computer crashed and I'm going to have to reinstall Windows - with, according to Mr. Watson, roughly 60% chance of my hard drive being wiped when I do it (am currently on Uni computer for the first time in months).
Once my computer is again alive I'll be able to get the text from the original email you sent it in, so no problems there.
It's also at times like these that I'm glad how things like LoS are hosted on websites, or generally places other than my computer.
So yeah, sumimasen... -_-;;

The only anime I lost was the stuff that I hadn't burnt yet, and so had't given to other people (e.g. Samurai 7). I still have all my burnt discs... I can get LoS2 myself, but one of those 'Complete INBYKS' documents would be appreciated.

I have three now! They all want to read more (I kind of dodged round that one while I was replying to them). The second two just wrote a couple of lines, but the first guy actually wrote a proper letter (and pointed out a couple of typos). But he said it was intriguing. ;D
