How should we go from Stack Exchange Q/A to publishable PDF with the least hassle? @NeilFein, yes and yes. The idea is to assemble a publishable version of the Q/A (edited, links either removed or turned into explanations, whatever would make the content work on paper), and then take those blobs of info and...do something to them. Our hope is that once we do that, the only additional editing that would be needed would be to fix formatting artifacts like bad page breaks. |

How should we go from Stack Exchange Q/A to publishable PDF with the least hassle? @LaurenIpsum, I don't know if "write XSLT (or whatever) to transform source" is actually the best approach versus a more-manual process -- cost/benefit anaylsis, flexibility, etc considerations? It seemed in line with a question we had about publishing e-books so I thought I'd try here first. |

Is there a way to ask online booksellers to pull pirated editions of my books? removed promotional links; the question should not depend on the specific book involved |

How can I convey dates (with ordering) for events happening under different dating systems, e.g. a Sci-Fi story spread over the galaxy? Shantnu, I've made some edits to your question to try to bring out the underlying writer's struggle more clearly, specifically the difference between what your readers know and what your characters know. If this took it away from what you meant to ask, please let me know (and of course feel free to edit further or roll back). Thanks. |

Is there any standardized definition of a “Mary Sue”? Oh, I hadn't heard of "Marty Stu" -- cute. (I have heard one male character of this sort called a "Mary Sue" anyway, though anecdote != data. :-) ) |

How can I catch more errors when I proofread? Yes, this. I catch most of my mistakes by being confronted by them on paper. In addition, proofreading on paper prevents me from switching into "edit" mode to fix it. Proofread, then edit; in my experience (both personal and team members), if you combine the two you miss stuff. (This doesn't mean never edit online, but don't check the "proofread" item off the to-do list until you've done it some other way.) |
