Ooh, all of them? Yeah, definitely interested. How are they organized, though? Because if I can't search through by topic that could just be more of a pain than clicking tags on the archive.

<33333 it! :)

My story just got 20 pages longer though. :P

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. If nothing else, you can always go back in and add some thought verbs if it's getting too bulky or if you decide to go with Lim's method.

The nice thing about show-don't-tell, IMO, is that it can (though not necessarily WILL) help keep your characterization consistent.

...on a related but slightly different note, this is a huge part of why I love Carol Berg.
