Unless it is a real hassle, I suggest changing the format to indented, right justified -- standard copy format -- for the Lulu edition. It would look much better and be read easier, I think.
I heartily agree. This would be a major improvement for future hard copy editions. Regardless, I'm buying issue 8.

I will be reading the online edition and plan on ordering a Lulu copy in the future. But upon previewing it I must make a suggestion. The block, non-justified paragraphing with a space between each works fine with the online edition, but doesn't look so hot in the hard copy, especially with the space between paragraphs removed.

I'll keep that in mind for the next issue. Thanks :) I'm signed up with Lulu -- still writing a novel I plan to publish there -- and am wondering if, after you've opened Flashing Swords Volume 2; Issue 8 for sell, it isn't possible to change the formatting...? It'd sure make the introductory issue more enticing to those interested.
Uh, but for those who have already ordered a copy, there might be crumbles...? Anyway, if a format correction can be done, I'd suggest it. | | Back to Top | | |

Anyway, if a format correction can be done, I'd suggest it. It is, yes, but I don't want to do that with live orders coming in. That'll mess up the production schedule and possibly the delivery dates. It's not a good idea to do revisions like that. | | Back to Top | | |

Like WOW! When I first discovered Flashing Swords, it had just, and I mean JUST, left on "indefinite hiatus". Being so pre-occupied with catching up on issues, it took me about a week or so to figure it out. Boy, was I distraught once I did!
Then, to make it worse, a forum thread suggested it might vanish into the ether if some stalwart hero-type didn't step forward and save the day.
And then Crystalwizard came forth. Kinda weird, in a way. I mean, wizard-types are supposed to be into magic, not swords, right? (No offense to Gandalf fans, I got a strong D&D background) But she came forth, just the same, and rallied around herself a band of able and talented partners and companions. A day needed to be saved and, like in any S&S story worth its salt, they set forth to do just that.
They came up with a lot of ideas, all of which looked good on paper (and on screen). Promises were publicly made, boosting everyone's expectations. They promised a lot, increasing the pressure on themselves as people wondered: would they deliver? Could they deliver? Or would the next ish totally suck?
Well, at long last, the New and Improved Flashing Swords, Volume 2, Issue 8 has been released. I have just finished reading it. I can safely say that it, in fact, does NOT suck at all. In fact, its really great! There is action, adventure, and excitement! There are plenty of obligatory swordfights! There are even a few stirring moments in there! There are poems which are very good (despite a lack of rhyming [it's a 'Me' thing]), and a very informative little history lesson!
Or, to make a long story short (too late, I know), ya done good! And to everyone else reading this, you don't have to take my word for it! Check it out for yourselves!
