Still very slow here.
There has been a lot of discussion in the tech world lately about AI scraper bots being very ... impolite with their scraping, I don't know if this is what's causing your issues, but if it is, you may need to look at using something like Cloudflare or Anubis or similar.

Re: Weavespinner.net is going off the air.
There are free or really cheap options for static hosting available these days. Perhaps you may want to investigate those? Github pages, netlify or Cloudflare pages seem to be popular options.

Re: Links to Good Reading (Part 2)
In regard to Kindle, bear in mind that Amazon is inconsistent in applying their Community Standards to works of fiction.
They, and a couple of the other major ebook retailers, recently ditched a whole slew of English translated Japanese LNs and Manga...while still being an official provider for ...

Re: Conviction EPUB
There is a table of contents, but it is not inline, as I have no real use for inline TOC.
Your ereader, or reading software of choice should be able to use it.

Conviction EPUB
Well, it's been a very long time since I last posted.
But anyway, I just downloaded and converted Conviction to epub this afternoon, and I thought others may find an epub useful as well.
So, for those who prefer reading epub, here is the complete Conviction, as of the time of posting.

Re: Firestaff Series in EPUB
I've already started work on the Pyrosian Chronicles. I'm thinking of spellchecking these, although I'm not quite sure how to get my program to use US english instead of NZ english.

From memory though, the spelling of the firestaff works was pretty good.

Firestaff Series in EPUB
Hi folks.
I decided I'd continue creating new epub files of Fel's works.
Therefore, of course, I decided to start with the Firestaff series.
I have gone through each book upgrading things like quotes. All quotes (single & double) have been converted to their left/right 'smart' quotes. As I used ...

Anyone willing to create covers?
Hi guys.
I see we may have a few people who know their way around a graphics program.
I'm in the process of creating new e-book versions of the Sennadar books. However, black and white text for a cover hardly makes for a nice display in anybody's library.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing ...

Re: Subjugation in EPUB/LIT/MOBI
Thanks for the feedback. I've played around a bit more with dropcaps since I made this, and I think I finally have them just about right.
I only wish that there was such a thing as a proper dropcap class, tag, or style that ePub renderers would recognize and display appropriately, rather than the ...

Subjugation in EPUB/LIT/MOBI
Well, I wanted to try out the new version of sigil ( http://code.google.com/p/sigil/ ) so I thought I'd create some nice new versions for ebook readers.
I created the ePub using a combination of Notepad++ and Sigil.
I then imported the ePub into Calibre, and created MS LIT and Mobipocket files from ...

Fel - thoughts on publishing on Smashwords?
Hi Fel, as always, loving your work.
Just had a random thought, have you considered publishing your completed works on Smashwords?
I imagine it would give your books a far wider potential audience, as well as provide a conveient place to download your works in multiple formats.
If you were to ...
