DIALj Bound I and II

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

For people with access to printers, or those who might otherwise like the idea of online zines, the fic from the first two discoveredinalj challenges, Discovered On A Gangplank and Discovered On All Hallow's Eve is now available as pdf format zines.

You can find them here:

DIALj Bound I: Discovered On A Gangplank

DIALj Bound II: Discovered On All Hallow's Eve

You will need Adobe to download them - the link points the way to that too - but then they can be printed off and bound in any way you might like...

The stories are just as they were posted at discoveredinalj, there's been no other editing, just a bit of formatting.

Skyrocket and Mistletoe still to come...

Yay, thanks for the info and links!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

Excellent news! Thank your for your hard work on these. I'm positively salivating at the thought of the Mistletoe one.*g*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hee - that's gonna be just a bit bigger, 'tis true... *g* (And it's purely selfish really, I'm a hardcopy girl meself...)

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

This is very cool, and you both have done a tremendous job. Thank you! I do have one question--if we find a formatting error, is there any way to correct it?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

There certainly would be, although it'd be a bugger! Darn it - thought we'd got everything - go on, tell us the worst *g*

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

Sorry! It's on page 5 (which is also missing a page number designation *g*)--there's a missing line break at the end of the last paragraph, so the next dialogue runs into it.

But otherwise it looks beautiful! *g*

Okay, 79 years later - I think that's it. *touches wood - hugs cabin* *g* Sometimes Adobe just doesn't seem to like me...

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Adobe is, indeed, while very nice in some ways, hell in others. I appreciate the work you put into this! And, just think, at least it wasn't 80 years...! (Okay, shall I leave now? I'll leave now. *g*)

Oh goody! These look beautiful. And now I know what to do on what promises to be a nasty snowy weekend! Hee hee! Thank'ee very kindly!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yeay for nasty snowy weekends, all tucked up with the lads! *g*

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

Well done both of you - it must have been a hell of a lot of work to do and they look very attractive.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you very much *g*

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

This is great!

Would you believe that I STILL haven't got around to reading these stories - the only chance I get to read Prosfic these days seems to be when I hit the hay, so now I can print off these lovely zines and read all the glorious new stories while I'm toasty-warm in bed (or perhaps I should say while I've got a snoring, toasty-warm other 'alf beside me *g*)

Thank you!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

See, that's why I like Prosfic in bed - makes up for the current lack of any other kind of toasty *g* And they're good stories...

[ereini0n.livejournal.com]

That's such a great idea! :) Thank you!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

*g* You're welcome!

[andreathelion.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all the work you've done !! Just printed it and guess what, I'm off to the sofa ;)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Very belatedly - you're totally welcome! Hopefully I'll get the next one done soon-ish...

[faramir-boromir.livejournal.com]

Thank you for doing this! I like holding them in my hands.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'd like to hold the lads I like having zines to hold too. Just an old-fashioned girl, I guess *g*

Hello, I'm doing china_shop's Fandom Appreciation Challenge and today's challenge is to feedback reccers or community maintainers. I only peripherally follow Pros and rarely read in the fandom, but thought I should take the opportunity to tell you how impressed I am with your idea of issuing an online zine with LJ-published fanfic, especially in an older-school fandom like Pros. It's great to see the invigorating effect people like you have had on Pros. I'm a huge fan of LJ myself, but I know many Pros fans aren't, and it seems that by issuing zines to provide another format for reading LJ-challenge stories, you must be pleasing just about everybody. I really think it's a marvellous idea.

Hello! What a lovely challenge idea - and thanks for thinking of us!

It all rather started when I went to a con last year, where a much older (completely fabulous) Pros author asked if I wrote myself. I said I did, but it was all online, and she looked so disappointed! So what with that, and then the fact that much as I love lj I'm a big fan of holding wodges of paper in my hands, the dialj bounds just had to be done! It was inspired by Oblique (http://www.oblique-publications.net/oblique.html) too, who have put all their old zines online in pdf format, which I thought was a great idea.

I'm really glad it's gone down well - and we're both dead chuffed that you've commented to say so! Thanks!
