Any chance of Splinter Universe stories linking to a downloadable file? (I hate to read stories sitting at the computer -- while I can copy/paste the text to make my own file to put on the Kindle, I'm sure there are other fans who share my preference, and don't have high-maintenance requirements re format or frills.)

Nope, sorry.

This project is limited (severely as it happens) by the (almost complete lack of) technical skill of the operator. Who is me. At some point, the stories will show up in the Kindle, Nook and Smashthing stores.

What did you use to create the page? Because that's the clearest and most easily parsed HTML that I've seen in a long time, most HTML formatters put loads of extraneous 'stuff' in it (whatever created that doesn't even credit itself as far as I saw).

(Oh, I enjoyed the story as well, thanks. Well, it did have one of my "A-list" girls in it -- I may have mentioned that I tend to fall for your female characters with names starting with 'A'...)

Well, that was (one of) the (couple) reason(s) I went with Wordpress for this and the other web projects I've been doing: It will do the html for me; it writes a reasonbly clean hand; and all I have to do is paste in my text.

And remember to think like Wordpress, a process that's being a little slower than either Wordpress or I (or sleary or jhawk) would like.

If you haven't discovered it yet, check out Instapaper.com. It gives you a "read later" button that will send a page/article/story to your Instapaper account, which can then automatically email the packet of articles to your kindle (it can be transferred manually too). Great way to get away from the computer screen.
