AN: I don't know how to format this, but I thought I'd have a go to build immersion. Any corrections or recommendations are appreciated.

On a non-story related note, I'm rather enjoying the traffic again. I've got the spiking traffic graph on FF and plenty of likes on the other forums. Apart from SV, which has a grand total of four comments. Well done to those who have commented though, and good job for those who've contributed with links, ideas, questions and discussion. So far we're 3300 words in
