I'm trying an experiment on my website.

<http://www.best.com/~jpalmer/fanfic/fanfic.shtml>

I've re-formated all of my stories into full
html format (no <pre></pre> tags) and I am using
a tiny transparent GIFF to create the function of
of the Paragraph Indent.

This should let most brousers display the stories
as they would look printed in a paperback book.

I've limited the text width to 300 Pixels, so
the column of text should be similar to that found
in a book. I find reading really wide lines of 
text a bit confusing, (That's why newspapers have 
columns. just for me.)

Let me know if your brousers have trouble, I've
tested with Netpositive and Netscape, and yes, 
I plan to make a Lynx frendly version as well.

----------------------------------


Btw, I saw a couple hits from RAAC from my story
"Yuuki", but It never showed up on my local
news server, and it never got propagated to
dejanews.com. Can someone please check to see if
it made it onto zippo? 
(Zippo now requires an account membership for RAAC,
I suspect that's because of the [Lemon] stories.)

It took 6 weeks from the day I sent it to moderation 
to the day I saw the first hit. I suspect that the
"Date" in the artical was my posting date, and that
most news servers refused to propogate the artical
because it had already "Expired".

Any news experts out there?
