Hmm. Yeah. It would certainly be prettier than all the ~oOo~'s flying around. As much as I love the ~oOo~ as a good way to cheat out of having to write transitions (impossible, in a piece like this), seeing it a half-dozen times in 400 words makes me start to feel a bit sick of it.
The problem is how to change the font. The original (Word) version had Macalaure's present, beside Maitimo's bed, in bold, to keep it straight from the rest. (Because the ~oOo~ messes up my word count!)
But then, I incorporated the title into the drabble, in bold, for a reason, so I don't know how to off-set that, short of underlining (which I oppose on the grounds that it is really ugly and my boss uses the heck out of it, so I'm just sick of underlining! ;D)
So I don't know how else to set off the text. Italics? But then how to set off the italic text? (Which I use liberally in drabbles, for some reason, feeling more apt to bend the rules of punctuation!)
And so we're back to underlining....
*sigh*
I'm spoiled by Word, growing up in an MS-geek family, and the flexibility it offers compared to stodgy old html....
