h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi, langslady, I have Polished your Entry, soon to be published in the UG. Have a look and make sure everything is alright, before I turn it over to the UGeds. A17703704

I didn't really change a lot, I switched the curly quotes to straight quotes, and broke up some of the lengthy paragraphs. There is something else I was thinking of doing, but I thought I'd get your opinion first: Perhaps it would be a good idea to italicise Iain's narrative, to distinguish it from the the rest and indicate the transition better?

Hello Wyatt - I'm surprised 'Dreaming' has
got this far but yes - italicising the narrative
should be OK - but more than that, do you mind
deleting the paragraph spacing and distinguish
them by indenting their first lines - thanks ever
- now I have to figure out how it got that far -
cheers and thanks for you suggestions - langsandy

Done, have another look.

'That's two in a week' is Al talking to himself -
it should be roman - thanks - looks great - cheers

Dr. Wyatt!

I don't really see what you mean. I italicised that because it is a thought, not something he said aloud.

its Doc Halliday & Wyatt Earp -
[the straight shooter] but enough o' that :

i can understand you italicising Iain's subtext
but that is sufficient - thanks ever - sang landy

So do you mean you want the character's thoughts in plain text, instead of italics?

Hi Wyatt - please do that - only Iain's
subtext should be in italic & one other
correction : please flush left the first
line of the story's opening paragraph -
thanks again - langsandy

Done. All ready to go?

well dang me Wyatt, aught t' take a rope
an' hang me if thet ain't t' durndest story
i ever seen - whatch y' make ef it yirself
now thet yi'v bin thro it - nor hed or tails
kin i mek ef it - tho i kin still see Elspeth
an i wis furteen et th' time - evr hav a luv
lek thet ? - cheers fer i wid drink t' thet !

I don't really know what you're saying, but I'll take that as a 'yes'.

yes yes yes yes dr Wyatt - thanks
for your patience - cheers
