Sorry I've been so slow to respond. I use Word 2010 for Windows. This issue is even more important to me now because I have a poem that I would like to post, and double-spacing will make it hard to tell where one verse stops and the next begins.

Re: "Cruel Nature" Thank you! I'm not planning to continue this story, but I'm sure I'll be writing other stories in a similar vein.

Probably anybody whose lovemaking session is interrupted by a giant chicken busting into their bedroom.

Being a guy, I suppose mine would be something along the lines of "Schlongulus Elongulus!"

I just copy and paste into a text box, like I do here. (I've tried using "Paste from Word" here, too, but it doesn't seem to affect the result.)

Re: "Cruel Nature" Thank you! I envisioned Yori and Zeryn as being a little like Frankenstein's monster--they ARE monsters, but they were also brought by force into a world in which they have no place. So there's nothing strange about simultaneously hating and pitying them. Being somewhat literal-minded, I never used to post my original stories on AFF--just fanfiction. Now I'm realizing that AFF offers a larger audience than the other places I post (Hentai Foundry and Inkbunny), and a lot of the readers here like original stories just fine, so I'm in the process of posting a bunch of my already-written stories here. Plenty more to come! You're most welcome. Thank you for reading and especially for commenting!

So what you seem to be saying is that there is no way to turn off the automatic spacing. I asked because the other sites where I post don't have this feature, so any story that I want to post there AND here has to be reformatted for AFF.

When I'm writing, I typically separate my paragraphs with a vertical space (ie, a paragraph mark). AFF seems to insert such spaces automatically when I post a story, so I have to go back and delete my extra spaces. Also, sometimes I don't WANT a space between 2 lines (eg, if they are part of a list or a schedule), but I can't seem to make the spacing go away. Is there a way to deal with this?

Re: "Cruel Nature" I suppose Xyla didn't consider that there might be a good reason why the termination of Feral-induced pregnancies is mandatory.

I go by the policy that we use where I work--I only make changes that I can justify to myself. That is, if I can't come up with a concrete reason for why I should make a particular change (eg, "Adding this bit of dialogue will help develop the character without slowing down the action," "I should add a comma here because this is a compound sentence"), then I don't make it. Using that approach seems to make it fairly clear when I should stop editing.

Re: "Cruel Nature" I think I'd worry a bit about anyone who didn't dislike some aspect of this story. But thank you! She definitely has a serious backbone deficiency. I've always had a pretty high baseline level of anxiety myself, and I've often struggled to avoid making the easy decision instead of the best one. Xyla is kind of a worst-case-scenario version of that.

Re: "Cruel Nature" You'll find out very soon--I'm just about to post the second half of the story.

Seriously. Some of the twisted stuff my fingers type makes me think "I'm glad you boys are attached to me so I can keep an eye on you."

Re: "The Interview" I'm usually a bit of a stickler about scientific accuracy, or at least plausibility. In this case, however, I decided to throw scientific accuracy completely out the window--right after beating it with a garden mallet and setting it on fire--because I really wanted this story to be a pure erotic fantasy. Thanks for the information about breast size and milk production. I actually spent 2 or 3 minutes earnestly Googling that subject before giving up and deciding to go the whole mallet/fire/open-window route. In any case, you have inspired me to put a disclaimer in the first chapter about the inaccuracies. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Re: "The Interview" Glad you're liking it, and thanks for the review. Daisy's life is definitely undergoing a major shift. You'll have to wait a couple of chapters for the bulls, though. Hopefully, that won't take long. I will confess that I actually have the next 2 chapters already written. I'm not posting them all at once because (a) it takes a little doing to reformat them for AFF (they were originally posted at Hentai Foundry) and (b) I'm hoping that posting them at this pace will spur me to finish the fourth and final chapter. I will be posting chapter 2 very shortly.

Re: "The Last Toy" Thank you! The ending was the first thing that came to me, and then I built the rest of the story around it.

Re: "The Last Toy" No worries, there are two more chapters coming very shortly! I'm glad you're enjoying it. As for Sallybear...no spoilers.

And I went back and broke up the paragraph in which Doofenshmirtz describes his various Inators so that the Isabufordinator isn't buried in the middle. Yay, obsessive-compulsiveness!

I did my best. I figured after a long story like that, the ending ought to be climactic. The Isabufordinator is first mentioned (perhaps too briefly) in chapter 8, when Doofenshmirtz is showing Perry his various Inators: "Over in the corner is something called the Isabufordinator. I’m not exactly sure what it does; some girl sent me the plans online." (The girl would be the hefty Isabuford fangirl with whom Eva was arguing in an earlier chapter.) Hey, gotta have a little suspense here and there. Cool. Although I'll probably end up writing my relatively short, rather dark Suzy-fic first. I'm going to assume you meant "peace" and aren't hitting on me. (Or maybe you were struck by the Peach Cobbler-inator.)

Just what I wanted to hear! I suppose Candace's busting obsession got put on the sidelines a bit in this story because of the whole saving-her-brothers'-lives thing. If that's what you mean. Yup, just one chapter left. Gotta have a little denouement. (My junior-high English teacher would be so proud.) I've only got two P&F-related ideas in my head that I think are actually good enough to write up. It's not impossible that I'll have more, but I also have lots of other story ideas that I want to bring to life, too. Oh, and I'm very glad you made that comment, because I wasn't sure that anyone was reading this thread besides me!

Re: "Leilaya's Evening" Thank you! As I note in the disclaimer, I wrote this story for a contest winner on Inkbunny, so he got to choose the main character and the fetishes that the story would involve. Even though I'm not all that into, for example, dragons and footjobs, I found myself enjoying finding ways to write about them that would do them justice and would be as exciting to me as to the contest winner and other readers.

I forgot to mention MIzore from Rosario + Vampire. ("Call me your little snow bunny"...oh yeah...)

Thank you very much. Being faithful to the characters (while finding new stories to tell with them) is always a top priority for me.
