Man, I'd forgotten how much I love some of this.

I'm finally posting Sirocco to the AO3 (ereader version soon, yes!!) and I'm reading the previews to catch formatting problems... and because this one always sucks me back in.  I'll go to check one detail and realize I'm just reading it rather than skimming.  I'm also grinning madly or wincing, or wincing and then smiling despite myself, or

And thus another of my weekends evaporates....

I'm trying to make myself wait until you've posted it all before going back to reread it...

[gryphonrhi]

{{hugs}} Honestly, this one's the reason progress slowed (aka stopped). A novel can do that...

E-book format??? I'll look forward to that! Then I can keep it on my Nook and reread it sitting on the couch!

I've got the Line War up to Sirocco on AO3; now I'm getting Sirocco and then the rest of them. Enjoy! (I want it on my Kindle, too!)

Ooh, ooh, OK, now I have to figure out HOW to get it onto my nice shiny Chistmas present Kindle...

Any offers anyone?

What is this AO3 of which we are speaking?.... (Yes, I am evidently a Luddite. Who knew?!)

[gryphonrhi]

::laughing:: Okay. First.

AO3 is shorthand for Archive Of Our Own. Any story on AO3 (mine are here) will have, at the top right, a button that says, "Download." When you click, it'll offer you several formats to download the file in. You want mobi if you have a Kindle.

Download as many as you like (I have several) and put them in a folder -- mine's called Kindle Files.

Attach your Kindle to your computer. Open up the directory on your Kindle, and there should be a folder called Documents. Copy all your files from your Kindle Files to the Documents folder on your Kindle and they'll be available to organize and read.

Don't cut the files, copy them over -- if your Kindle ever dies, all of the stories bought from Amazon are backed up online. Everything you've gotten anywhere else, bought or not, will *not* reappear until you reload from your own folder. (I have books bought directly from Diane Duane and Martha Wells, for example; I don't want to lose them.)

I hope this helps, and enjoy your new Kindle!

I have Line Wars on my Kindle. I wish I could dl it as an entire book. But I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Instead I have each section as one book/document: Gathering Darkness, Sirocco, etc. If you do get the entire work converted as one book I would love to be able to dl it to my Fire.

Eep, how do I keep missing your comments? Damn! So sorry, dear!

If I ever do put the whole Line Wars in one big-ass file (chaptered by story), I will *definitely* post about it here!
