I think experience and thoughtful risk taking, beat out luck, so maybe I misspoke lol. Haven't done a paper since before the internet, but having an Apple IIc, a 17k word processor and a printer sure helped in the late 80's

Never heard of Dokuga before, but glad to see you had responses to your writings there! Newgrounds has a small, but strong writer's forum here http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/forum/18 Have a look, maybe it's worth posting there.
Best of luck filling 60+ pages with compelling and yet accurate info!

Oh thanks! I never even considered that people were writing here, too. I have been wanting to post some original stories, so maybe I'll give it a shot ^^
Thanks for the luck!
