okay I feel kind of silly tonight

[amalthia]

I was looking for Francesca the author that wrote Sentinel fan fiction and specifically the The Nature Series in order to write to her and ask if she has this story in a single file to save me the effort of doing it myself. But I couldn't find her website in my bookmarks...so I went to google. I looked around some more found a few other Francesca's. then I found her website and found out she wrote SGA fics...naturally I was curious I hit the link and that's when it hit me that I have cesperanza friended already!!! I've been reading her SGA fics from the beginning and well I read all her Sentinel fics too now that I think about it. I'm a dufus sometimes.

I'm rather sure at one point I must have found this out at one point and then promptly forgot which is kind of bad of me because I just spent 10 minutes on google...

*giggle* I've so done that before.

You shouldn't feel silly. I read all her 'Due South' stories without realising I the works was by the same writer who was responsible for a heck of a lot of my favourite Sentinel stories. Even when I found the two names on the same website, I just thought this Cesperanza and Francesca must be friends sharing a website. I thought at the time that it was a fortuitous coming together of talent, since they were both such good writers. Took me a long time to figure out they were the one writer. (I do admit to feeling a *bit* silly when the bulb finally lit)

I think I need to make a tag for Homer moments. :) I think it is somewhat confusing when authors switch names. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's experienced this.

i'l third the not realizing they were the same way back when i first fell from DS into TS...

Did I not email you my TS files? I'm pretty certain I had most of the nature series compiled as a word file. Did you ever get the files/were able to use them???

I didn't even think to look!!! I'll do that tonight. :) I was kind of busy checking out the other stories you sent me, mainly from X-Files at the time. Basically, with all my computer troubles last week I lost my train of thoughts from the week before that. I planned to go through systematically fix the stories into RTF format but those plans were derailed when my computer died.

i'm not on my computer right now, and i'm not sure i c&ped the entire series, but im' pretty sure I have a large section of it (b/c I just went back to reread recently :)

yes XF has some nice long ones (though there are some in txt format who may not move into rtf quite as nicely...

the replace all function in Microsoft Word has become my new best friend for formatting text documents, that and saving them as html fixing it up. Okay some text documents are easier to format than others.

I won't be back at my home computer until 7pm tonight...

Yes :D I became a very happy person when I learned that I could get rid of the extra space between paragraph with a replace ^l for ^l^l :D

One of the reasons I still use Microsoft Office 97 is because for a lot of text files it's easier to convert them into html and 97 doesn't add all sorts of bs code and it's so much easier to work with.

I have a few favorite replace codes..but I really should write them down because I ekep forgetting the fastest ways to fix up the documents.

I can't remember who wrote most of the stuff I have read and I have read but a mere fraction of a percent of what you have read

[amalthia]

now that you mention it, that's a very scary thought. I just realized that omg I do read a lot of fan fiction!!!!
