Attention - Author of "Lamb for the Lion"

Post by Paolo »

Could you please contact me, regarding this story?

As you wish to remain anon., I can guarantee that I will not share your email address. If nothing else, take out a HOTMAIL account under "joe smith" or something and then delete it afterwards.

I am holding it in the tank, as every single sentence has its own line and then a double space. There aren't any breaks in it, and it's quite hard to read. I think that it could be a very popular story if cleaned up.

If you have the original files, please arrange to send them to me if they have good formatting and I will fix it. Right now, I have no clue where to break the paragraphs at.

Thank you.

Paolo,

This really is an amazingly well-conceived story...and no, I am not Attis. I caught this story shortly after it was posted and couldn't stop reading it...in spite of the crappy formating. Course it was like 3:30AM till I finished so the following day was...well...different....

Anyways, I played with the formating to locate the paragraph breaks and followed-up with the spell checker (interestingly, for all the horrid formating there were very few misspellings). Then it was onto the archive's WYSIWYG page to stuff in those [tag] thingys. Yeah...I guess you could say this one was a labor of love if not flat out obsessive. On the other hand, if the WYSIWYG is anywhere near accurate, then the results seemed fairly impressive. If you're interested, I could send along the re-format.

Regards, Almond Kid

While there were problems with paragraphs and continuity and/or formatting in this story, it was a delight to read and the ending was fantastic! I read where someone offered to help with proofreading and editing the story and that would enhance the quality of this. The author has a great imagination so needed in short stories.

If you've got the cleaned up version, ship it over to paolo@eunuch.org and I'll put it on the "to do" list.

Thanks.
