Hey there. I'd love to read your fic, but there seems to be a frequent
formatting problem- namely, many of your periods have been replaced with
this: �?�. Possibly this is a result of how you do your converting to
plaintext. If this is the case (it's happened to me) maybe I can suggest a
fix. In addition to making sure your line breaks are set in the
neighbourhood of 70 characters per line, if you're using Word, click Format
drop-down menu, then Autoformat, then select the options button, then make
sure that the boxes marked "SmartQuotes" and "Replace Symbol Characters with
Symbols" are *un*checked. This should prevent the problem when converting to
text.

Hope this helps!

Hmm, it doesn't do that on the copy I got back from the FFMl, which suggests 
it's AOL being a meanie again. The characters per line was set at 80, which 
could probably do with being changed though. I'll have to do that manually 
though - my computer is rebelling against Word so I'm having to use WordPad

Thanks for the advice. A clean copy is located at:
