It was good and I can remember enjoying it, but the format on the page is tiresome to the eye. Could you double space? I know it makes the page much bigger, but would be easier to see. Or you could at least have a space after a paragraph.

First off: thank you for posting. I was beginning to think that I was posting this to a fucking wall.
Second off: I do space paragraphs, but I use a style of writing unique to myself. This includes an occasional semi-indented paragraph that is intended to provide prosody for the reader. I want my work to be read as I write it, with each comma, apostrophe, and indentation considered. I have clawed my ears at people reading some works aloud. They bastardize it by reading
allegro (fast) with no regard for punctuation. And I can't insert commas everywhere for the sake of tempo, as it's grammatically incorrect. That leaves spacing the most important elements so that they will receive the proper deference.
Thirdly: I will see about double-spacing the next one; I will tinker with the formatting on BT. If it makes it easier to read...
