I'll see what I can do about that. And forum-page counts.

EDIT: Done!

Thank you.

THIS IS EXACTLY IT - ESPECIALLY THE LAST.

This has NOTHING to do with money and EVERYTHING to do with intellectual property control and folks buggering things about for their own ends - WITHOUT PERMISSION.

In Drop the Dreams (CRFH) I had someone "fix"things . . . and unwind a secondary plot point. I was annoyed.

Exactly.

Even in the 'descriptions' of the stories as accompanying the PDFs here...for example:

'Truckin' was described as "Al and Sterling go camping" - which could not be farther from the truth. 'Full Disclosure' was similarly treated to a mangled description.

Things like this are why I retain control of my IP. I have no idea if this was lack of comprehension or malfeasance but at this point I simply don't care. My work can stand here, in the pages where it was originally released and nowhere else.

Fixed, thanks.

I also rewrote the stuff before the list, and added a copyright statement.

Now I can't even find the fanfic listed at all, let alone the discussion thread! Help!

Fixed. I had forgotten that after a reinstall, Excel didn't trust me yet.

(But I told it to, so now it should.)

(Gee that sounds like fantastic security.)

That's easily fixed. Configure its security so that the trust feature requires you to unlock it using facial recognition and your laptop's webcam...

Just make sure you do all that anonymously, of course...
