I am loving this story! USC fratboy jerks ... Academy jerks [throwing the table ... honestly! Young men are so silly.]

And Spock, so serene, and Uhura, suddenly pulled into the drama and impressed by him!

And I also like the typeface you have used ... it's very easy on the eyes. Can you clue us in on how you did it?

Thanks so much! This is fun, turning the clock back to my college days and remembering all the stupid stuff we did. My friends would certainly be throwing the table, and we all knew the fratboy jerks. :)

The typeface is Bookman Old Style, 12-point. I picked it because it's one of the nicer manuscript fonts that my printer can handle. It's got good differentiation between the x-height and caps-height for improved legibility even at small sizes, and it's a bit wider than sans serif as well.

I write in Word and convert it to HTML to upload a chapter, and Word retains the typeface encoding: [in the paragraph tag: style='text-indent:.4in'>

Great choice! Bookman has many characteristics that make it easy on the eyes in large amounts.

Thanks!

Many publishers want Times New Roman-- I find it crowded and hard to read. *pets Bookman*

Ah Nyota, you can run, but you just can't hide the fact that you are interested in Spock!

Hee! That's literally true, isn't it? Well, let's see if I can nail her feet down to the floor for this next chapter. Thanks for reading!

You know, it's always new. It's one of the wonders of hormones... Brain? What brain?

Hehe, seems Tischenko has taken a liking to the young professor, too. *grin*

[mariole]

Everybody likes him! He's way cool. *starts fan club*

This is really a stalker series. She'll start following him around and wearing a knife strapped to her thigh. I was just leading you on with the fluffy romance stuff. This is hard-core kookiness!

Well, we'll see. :)
