A Sequel As Good As The Original
Here’s the good version of ‘For Will in the Windows’ and the sequel ‘Maia’s Book’.
I found them in a directory on tnir with the useless name of ‘holding’. If I could, I’d reach back through a time portal and give myself a good smack for that. I didn’t get smacked by a disembodied hand back then, so I won’t be doing it, but maybe it’s the Grandfather Paradox thing…you know, since I didn’t get smacked, I used that directory name, so I will get smacked, so I won’t use that name, and so on…

Hey, why don’t you put up the HTML versions, eh? They’re much more readable online, doncha know.

I’m gunna. I just put them on line as soon as I found them.
I don’t want to use Word to convert them since the result is so crappy. I have to take copies home, use Dreamweaver and fancy them up. It will be a good test of my growing css skills.
For now, the world can share my greatness as Word docs.
Did you read the new improved version of Will, and the sequel, which isn’t as much of a bummer?

Now I’m thinking that ‘Maia’s Book’ should be the original, and ‘For Will in the Windows’ the sequel.
This is due to the way the information is presented about Maia’s book itself, and what the backstory actually is for the events in Will…
Hmmm…I’m forced to think long and hard about this as a nartist…

Well, you could put a link to the html version that I did, based on your original version: http://rae.tnir.org/documents/barker/Will_in_the_Windows.html

Newer versions: edited, improved, almost perfected!
Note the first paragraph of Will in the new version, better connecting the main body of the story with the ending.
I forgot they were even there until the link you sent me, where you’d saved them back when, got me thinking that maybe I’d uploaded them (or anything…) to tnir for downloading elsewhere later…
I found other stuff I’d forgotten about too.
