It’s quite fun finding the bits that actually line up (alongside the ones that don’t of which there are one or two 
perhaps) eg that Grange is observed humming/singing inanely in two different chapters in Blue!

Huh?
You can wassail, fight pirate dolphins, read and remain un-arrested, all whilst standing up?
That’s as insane as NiaD itself!
I can do most of those, but I need a couch… and a cat. And a blanket helps, muchly.

The current ePubs are much better, indeed! Lunar520 was so hard to read. Its font size was too large.

Maybe it’s because we live in different worlds. Here, I’m on call most of the time so I need to be on my feet and get going on short notice, so I can’t afford to lounge around with my book like this…

Note: When it comes to ISP, I “buy local”, so sometimes their servers have to – what? wake up? am I their only client? I don’t know.

Dunno that raindrops and roses are much to do with chicklit. Try Rachel’s Holiday by Marian Keyes, to get a start on the genre.
If I get a moment I might go back and update the formatting on the older ones.
I will say I was glad that I didn’t end up with one of these chapters:

Yeah, me too. There’s not an awful lot of dialogue or exposition involved.
Thanks Rog in advance!

Ok… so which chapter do people think was the hardest this time?
Very interesting topic that was.
I think mine was hard.
Many thanks our fantastic @gr and of course @pigfender 
I noticed regarding the number of distinct possible versions:
7,558,272 (NiaD XI) < 229,582,512 (NiaD 9) < 1,088,391,168 (NiaD X) < 1,633,640,400 (NiaD 9½). Maybe because some of the chapters only had one author this time round?

Exactly so. A couple singleton chapters cuts down the combinatorial possibilities exponentially.
I try never to miss an opportunity to say ‘exponentially’.

do singletons increase the opportunity to drink? exponentially?
