Will Luminosity and Radiance ever be available as e-books like "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" is? Because of an accidental reload, I lost my place on the Radiance webpage (one-page text of story, "article view" in Kindle so the margins wouldn't jut out of the screen), and now it's pretty much impossible to scroll back on my Kindle.

Now I'm trying to figure out if I can copy-paste the text onto my computer and convert it into a mobi file myself, but I have the sinking feeling I'm just going to have to suffer eyestrain reading the rest on my computer instead. I'm really caught up in the middle of Radiance and wish it were more technologically accessible!

I could make PDFs of the text, but I'm far too lazy to update them every time I post a new chapter, and I don't know how to creat mobi files or anything else more fancy.

I'm volunteering myself to make PDF's of both books. I'll keep them updated as well.

EDIT: And if I can figure out what mobi is and figure out how to convert it, I'll do that too.

EDIT2: Never mind, I just saw Zack M Davis' message.

If there is anything wrong with them, just tell me and I will fix it. I'll be updating Radiance as Alicorn does.

Added links to these to the current discussion thread; will put them on my site and ff.net profile soon too.

Every now and then I find a typo or want to change wording in Luminosity, too, so that could stand being updated once a month or so too.

I'll do that then. Also, what is the font you've used for the website banner? Was thinking of using it for the title's on both files.

Comment author: Alicorn 03 February 2011 01:20:30PM 1 point [-]

It's called "Zephyr", or "the Twilight font", the latter of which is a useful search term if you wish to obtain it (ARRRRRRR).

Thanks. I've updated Luminosity just now.

Another question, would Bella have the same handwriting as she had in canon? Because I found the font SMeyer used online and was wondering if I should use it for the places where she's writing in her notebooks.

I see no reason why the handwriting should be different - go ahead, it's a cute idea :) I'd recommend doing that in lieu of the italics I used to signify notebook passages, rather than in addition to them.

You might want to download the PDF Luminosity and see if you like the way the font looks. I'm unsure. I had to make it a bit larger than the rest of the text, because you couldn't really read it when it was smaller.

For the record, I just used Auto Kindle on an HTML file.
