Just submitted the second chapter in The Wizard's Apprentice, and this time I tried another format, using Word to create the filtered.html version. That one supposedly removes some of Word's extraneous commands.
Also worth mentioning: I'm outed! The cover photo is from the Bookapy submission, and that's the name I publish under on other sites.

Looking at the posts, I'm thinking that somehow part of my post to Bookapy got cross-posted to SOL. I only included the photo in the Bookapy submission, but I spotted it on one of the SOL posts.
Anyway, I've asked the moderator to remove one of them, and for those who told me about it, thanks!

I've just submitted a prologue and first chapter of a new stand-alone book, The Wizard's Apprentice. It's not at all like my earlier tales!
Darwin's World explores survival, Jacob Jennings is a history-based western, but Apprentice?
I wrote it for the sheer fun of writing. To start with, it's got more humor than a coyote has fleas!
It's also written in fake Shakespearean English, and no doubt I imbibed more than I should have while writing it, but e'en so the tale hangs together.
For the squeamish, there's a bit of non-sexual squick which is soon glossed over. Ye need only cover your eyes when the dastardly deed is done, for fear not! 'Tis a tale where in the end all is made right!
And if ye think ye've discovered all the jests, aye, and low humor? Why, write me and brag of your perspi...ah...discern..aw, hell, cleverness!

In the spirit of 'if you can't lick 'em, join 'em', this morning's submission is Chapter 18 in html format, which according to SOL is one of two formats they prefer. The other is htm, and I've got that on standby just-in-case.
I've learned a bit of basic html programming already, but going back and reformatting every paragraph? PITA! So I did some research.
Learn something new every day, especially if you use Word!
It's flexible, and therefore confusing at times, but it's the most powerful word processor available IMO, and anyway, I'm familiar with it now. Mostly.
So it didn't take me long to find out that Word will save a document in.docx, htm, and html if that's what you want.
Any comments regarding the new formatting effort are appreciated, and for that matter any comments are.

I just checked several random chapters, including Ch 15, and the chapter formatting doesn't look right. It's certainly not the way it looks in my Word document! But the gaps and run-togethers seem to have gone away after the repost, so I suppose that's something.
Is there a better way to post a story that retains formatting?
