| | | Well; it took me long enough. Sadly, a bit of writter's block and burnout from trying to clean up the images slowed the process as my moods took an abrupt left turn into .space as may have been noticed the last few weeks (Or not). While it's nothing (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks, Shiri. I was sick last week, so I can empathize. Not very fun. *8| I'm glad you liked it. It was a lot of fun to work on the story, I just wish I'd have gotten inspired a little faster. With luck, the final episode won't take a month (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | (...) Agreed. Cleaning up images is the hardest part about presenting stories. Building and story writing are easy (well - in comparison), but to present it in a satisfactory form is a real pain. (...) Always a plus :) In my experience, the less (...)

It worked fine for my non-castle MOC's of late, but for this it just distracted from the 'set' as it were... I wish I could find better forest pictures, though. I'm (...)

The story seems to be off to a good start and is written well, and the pictures are setting the mood quite well. The only real complaint I have is about the font size.. (...)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks, Ed. Sorry about the font; I'm using Dreamweaver 3 and it doesn't use 'standard' font sizes so I don't know what equivelent it would be, really. The font is -1 from standard.. which, I think, puts it someplace around 10pt.. or maybe (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

No problem, it's easy enough to do, and I really wanted to read the story. :) Usually for my pages I actually increase the font up a step from default, since higher resolution is becoming more and more common. I also keep Netscape set higher (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

I dropped the font because I thought it looked better. Didn't take into (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

Well, you also have to take into account that when the font is small enough that the lines are a single pixel wide, and you join that with a low-contrast color scheme (dark cyan on black), that it's tough to (...)
