Very awesome :) I love the way you blended the fandoms and the reactions of everyone felt so natural. Truly enjoyed this!

[bellatemple]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to play with the similarities and differences between the two fandoms!

Oooo -- this looks like a very interesting crossover! The reality-based Bones meets the Supernatural world. Looking forward to reading this.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to have an RTF version ready to download. My Sony Reader doesn't handle PDFs very well. Am DLing the RTF file to read. Thank you!

[bellatemple]

Enjoy! And yeah, I've gotten enough requests in the past on big bangs that I figured I'd just offer up loads of formats up front.

[hsapiens]

Many now offer the PDF but so far any other story I've added to my Reader I've had to do myself. I am VERY appreciative that you've gone to the effort to make it easy for me. ♥ ♥

PDF isn't a problem with Kindle ;). Worst case: you email the document with "convert" as a subject and voila, it's converted to azw ;).

I love that you offered a single file versions of your story. :) Thank you! I loved your summary and am very interested in reading your story. :)

P.S.

Forgot to add the formatting for your epub is very well done. :) Thank you for taking the time and effort to add a table of contents and indenting your paragraphs.

I'm just glad it worked. I haven't done an epub before. This tutorial isn't perfect, but it made it pretty easy to figure things like tables of contents and indenting paragraphs out.

I hope you enjoy the fic! I've gotten a lot of requests for single files in the past, and figured I'd get the single file formats in before people asked.

"This tutorial isn't perfect"

*Hangs head in shame.* I made this tutorial and I'd love to know what exactly didn't work or make sense? I had planned to update the site once I finish grad school in December. It would be wonderful to know what stumped people as they try to use the site so I can improve the experience for other users.

I found it difficult to figure out how to break down the concepts so that novices and expert users could use the site. (I do know my screencaps need to be updated because when Calibre when to 6.0 the layout changed)

The advantage of you providing the epub is that I can easily add to to my ebook device next time I plug in. I'm normally about 4 months behind on stories I have to convert myself. And sometimes by the time I convert them I lose interest or forget why I wanted to read the story. I tend to read stories that I can read right away first and save everything else for later.

A large part of it was the new layout, and managing where the new items were. There seemed to be a few steps missing here and there in the process, things that weren't explained as clearly as they could be for someone who'd never used the program before. I'd also suggest links between different pages for quick reference, so the reader doesn't have to page back, click the CSS cheat sheet, page back forward, check the steps, page back, double check. . . . Mind you, that's partially me, as I could have opened another tab, but still

Thank you so much for the Bones primer - it moved to a channel I don't have a few years ago now so I was really worried I wouldn't follow this (and you there was no way I was going to miss one of your fics!)

*saves PDF*

[bellatemple]

One of my all time favorite fics crossed over two fandoms I wasn't familiar with, and provided primers for both -- which I think is a big part of the reason I could read it. So I figured "this is clearly something I should do."

Enjoy the PDF!
