    I'm copying and pasting relevant pieces and putting them under headings. I won't be adding any other pieces of information due to the time it is taking up.

    I feel it's an important but mammoth task and anyone who wants to help should be encouraged in any way they can without rules in doing so. If expectations are higher than that then I shall need to drop out I'm afraid.

    Thanks guys - I think we're all on the same page (pun not originally intended, but kept in!)

    Stay with, fuddle! Like I said, we're of a mind. More info than this sounds great, I know (previous poster, who had the best intentions, I'm absolutely sure) but once you try it, its a huge task. But also, once you try it, you can see (*I* can see) how valuable a resource its going to be.

    Hugs to all

    I'm not including page numbers or identities at all, I'm afraid; just copying & pasting relevant sentences/paragraphs under a vague heading! Which is currently - Winter! Too much info will snow us under and bamboozle anyone trying to read it. Sorry if individual contributors are disappointed; I think we should acknowledge ALL posters at the end in some way.

    I've got 5 pages of tips from the 30 pages I've read through. It's a lot of work. I think we don't need to worry about the editing or organising because whatever we do and how ever unorganised it is it's still a damn sight better than a lost resource altogether. Well I think anyway. I'll keep on plodding on then. :)

    Totally agree!

    Though at the moment I'm having an early tea, and I'm sitting here reading apocalypse fic :D but don't tell anyone else :D

    Computer broke this morning so I've been AWOL but now He Who Knows has stopped harassing the fish and come home he's fixed it.....Hello again !

    We've been really pushed with all the decorating so I haven't even begun my 50 pages yet but will as soon as he has a free period to show me how to do it.

    I was just going to put the post number on and the relevant bit of the post shall I make a separate record of the contributors so we can put a list of acknowledgement in at the beginning or end of the document?

    :pS'Ok, Karmakat, I'm having an early tea, also; YS sea bass, accompanied by YS new spuds and YS broccoli. SuperGran is due at 18.00 to update me on all the neighbourhood gossip, then I shall continue reading a novel set in Roman Britain.

    Are you saying that really quietly, GQ? :)
