...The good news is that WordPad does indeed avoid the HTML problems.
The bad news? IT HAS NO HTML ENCODING PERIOD, so I had to paste it into Word anyway. *headlaptop*

I've finally figured out ways to muck with the HTML garbage Word generates (by copying the raw HTML into Word

YAY! *bounces* You're sporking it! :D This is one of my "favorite" Corifics because of the blatant I NEED TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR MEEEE and the cringe factor. See, I used to write stuff like this back when I was 18 and Kunzite/Zoisite was my answer to Cori's Jessie/James only instead of Senshi-bashing I bashedc Beryl. IT'S SO BAD IT'S HILARIOUS. The lack of twerp-bashing is also a bonus.

One nitpick, though-the bright blue text for Jerry's lines is hard on the eyes. :(

It's been fixed! (And now I need to do the other post.) Sorry about that - due to using WordPad, I ended up using a different shade than usual. And then it didn't even turn out to be useful... D|

Oogh, I know. When I was a kid, I thought Matt was the greatest thing ever and hated Tai for his actions in the episode where SkullGreymon appeared (and various other actions before he began to mature), so I had this alternate-dimension AU where... you can guess what sort of bashing went on. >_> Fortunately, I never wrote it down... I did get over my Tai-bashing tendencies. Eventually. :P

Thanks!

Tai went AUGH a lot and thought everything was a new Digimon? XD

That's good.

Well, more like his characterization was permanently stuck at its nadir during the SkullGreymon episode, nobody liked him, and he became completely unimportant.

I have NO idea how I thought that AU dealt with all the episodes where he was crucial to the Digidestined's survival and success, except that I guess that Matt did it all. Or something. -___-;; I really didn't think through the AU much. It helped that the AU was technically an alternate dimension from the main reality, and the changes only came up when the dimensions crossed, so my mental meanderings didn't really cover the 'main plot' of that dimension except for a few crucial scenes. ...Boy am I ever glad I never wrote that story down, that's all I can say...

[daffodil_brill]

most people AVOID stories they can't stand, rather than writing highly emotional responses...

....

Erm, um, right. That's, uh. That's the most logical thing to do when faced with unpleasant stimuli.

Well, I don't always take my own advice. You know how I behaved when I was younger. :P (And, well, I keep sporking the worst fics, right? So I never learn.)

James dying and Jessie
getting over his death, living her life without him, and never seeing him again
until she died of old age 60 years later had to be, without a doubt, one of the
saddest things I've ever read!

I imagine watching Dr. Horrible's sing along blog would leave Cori twitching in the corner.

My question is,
what the hell is supposed to be romantic about that?! The person you love dies,
and you have to live your life without them?! That's not romantic -- it's just
depressing!

Life isn't all rainbows and shine. But these stories can also be inspiring, telling how one gets through the loss of a loved one. And the love between two people isn't any less romantic just because one of them dies.

In the kitchen, the kettle on the stove began to whistle,
but Jessie didn't hear
it. After a few minutes, the whistle became a scream,

Did someone murder the kettle?

An angry light sparked in her sapphire-blue eyes
