Hi Jon! Welcome to the list.

Just thought I'd mention it. I think a lot of the 'fics I've read with 

this problem would benefit greaty just from making sure the tense stays 
constant throughout. If you start in the past tense, stay there. ^_^

*sigh* Easier said than done. ^_^
I appologize on my part, but I wrote FOP in the first person singular and
decided I didn't like it so went back, switched tenses and tried to fix it.
Thought I'd caught them all, but obviously not.

Does anyone have any suggestions on proofing ones own work? I find that it is
hard for me to do, because I know what it's supposed to say and read it that
way.
