I thought I had written about this, but the evidently I haven't, based on the number of emails I have gotten so far.
Just before I posted Magic 101, I noticed I had been inconsistent with whether or not I capitalized the word Mage. Since this was a story about magic, I thought it appropriate for it to be always capitalized.
Can you guess what I did wrong? Yes! Exactly! That is why I like you folks, you are smarter than the average picnic basket, or Park Ranger, or bear or... something.
I did a global find and replace for 'mage' and substituted 'Mage'.
Et voilà! A quick and easy fix!
Yeah... um, except for words like daMage and iMage and, well, you get the picture.

** No, I didn't forget Prior, it is redundant and people who use it as the seventh P smell of bacon. Bacon is for sycophants, products of incest and people who steal gags from video games.
Now, in the past, when I had scheduled multiple chapters to be posted, I would have to take the time to load each individual chapter separately and, since I did it that way, I could then replace or update each individual chapter before it actually posted.
With this new setup, which I absolutely love so far, there is a slight drawback in that I don't have the ability to pick and choose, interceding with a specific chapter mid-process.
This means I cannot fix this globally bad idea until the whole story is loaded. It also means that I get a LOT of emails about certain issues because people think I either don't know yet or am ignoring the issue.
Small price to pay, but there you go. I don't want to discourage folks from writing in, or from offering corrections and suggestions as needed, but on this one, can we say I have been suitably chastised?
Humbly yours,
