matrixrefugeeNow I just have to copy-paste all the fragments together, though tomboy_typist has suggested that I do the post-modern thing and leave it in fragments. I said I'd think about it, then I almost decided "Naaah...". But now a part of me is thinking it might be a good idea: I have a framing story that the text was supposedly discovered by the Public Security Division of the Ministry of Hades when they obtained a search warrant for Muraki's family mansion. And who's to say that a certain clumsy shinigami didn't drop the file and scatter the pages.
It also fits since it mirrors Muraki's own madness, as he loses himself to his inner demons.
I'm still thinking about the possibility of leaving the fic as is, but I'm not sure the folks in charge of the challenge, or the artist who's doing the artwork for it, would really cotton to the experimental writing. I might keep one copy for myself and make another copy of the file that is the "edited" version. The thing is, I'm having trouble copy-pasting large amounts of text on the laptop, since I'm having trouble with the touchpad. I might invest in a mouse for the laptop. Or I might take the file to the library and patch it all together there, though it's likely to be s bit time-consuming (not that I mind). We'll see...
