The Balance of Life
Interlude 2
Author's Notes:
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to review and comment of this story. One of the nice things about Fan-Fiction is the interaction between the author and readers. I read and take each review into account as the story progresses.
I have just realized that the breaks in story flow that I have diligently included in my source documents did not get uploaded to FanFiction. I used a combination of asterisks separated by dashes for breaks. Five asterisks for short breaks (the same location) and ten asterisks for long breaks (different locations). Now I see why some readers have commented on issues with breaks—there aren't any. I'm surprised that more of you didn't complain. I will remedy this problem when I repost.
I will use italics for Na'vi words with Na'vi spelling. I will also, as one reviewer commented, 'expand the Na'vi language' so that I can communicate the ideas that an intelligent species, like the Na'vi, would try to get across.
Test samples follow:
[short break samples]
XXXXX
[-break-]
[*-*-*-*-*]
[long break samples]
XXXXXXXXXX
[-scene break-]
[-Hell's Gate-]
[-Well of Souls-]
[-some other place-]
[*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*]
Break Centered
Break Centered
As you can see from the above between 'Break Centered', nothing appears. I have been using centered breaks throughout not realizing that they were not being uploaded. I'll remove the centering when I repost the updates.
