Finally we're getting to the SOS Dan's literary feats
however, I was wondering about the formatting... in the novel, there were different fonts for the different stories, and Mikuru's was presented as a picture story book(let). How should I do it here? Put the text in images? Or just keep the same formatting?

You mean we actually get to see what they wrote!?
That's too cool!

If it doesn't take too much away from the presentation, I would say to stick with the format of the rest of the article. I personally like uniformity throughout stories. If one option turns out to be easier, however, I'd say to go with that one.

Maybe you could stick it into a frame or something to keep it seperate from the main text. Images wouldn't work well, IMHO.

Why don't you give us a sample of what they look like? Then we can decide from there.

Now why didn't I think of that? I concur with that suggestion.

Hmm guess I'll just post it in as always, and worry about formatting later. Mikuru's should be up in 1-2 days.

Is each person's story a seperate chapter?

No, I think Book 8 is separated by only 2 stories, no individual chapters.

Yea, but each story is like 5 chapters long, like Wondering Shadow: A, Wandering Shadow: B, etc etc
So I can understand why its taking so long for GDsMDDLFNGR to translate XD

Yep, it's one looooong chapter, but at least we're getting to the meat of things now
Also, Mikuru's fairy tale has been posted, but without the images, formatting, etc., it doesn't really look nice
I'll see what I can do for the formatting, but I don't have my scanner here, so...

Wow, if Haruhi let that story pass, I feel I will be disappointed at the other stories.

I imagine translating that must have been mucha difficult.

So uh... mebbe I'll redo those illustrations >.>
Should I keep the side-by-side format (Which would require using thumbnails w/ links to higher resolutions) or put the image above or under the text for that page instead?
I'll take care of the rest of the chapter's illustrations while I'm at it.
