Fan fiction in general was: MOVED from MAIN - "sequels" to the classics

into a different format.  For my longer posts, I'll paste a copy into 
Notepad and proofread it there.  The change in font, etc., helps the 
typos stand out better (because it seems in your original, your 
brain "sees" what it meant to write instead of what's actually on the 
screen).
 
Pasting a copy in Notepad is also handy for those times when you're 
composing in webview and then for some reason Yahoo or Windows (those 
devils!) lose your work. ;)

'Course, for short stuff like this, I just fire away and hope for the 
best!

Tiffany:

I always copy & paste my posts into Word before submitting them, esp. 
on the main list.  I've had a few typos & grammar errors to slip 
through unnoticed, but I'm not a stickler for details typically.  I 
am orderly by nature, so if it's a real obvious error, I'll pick up 
on it right away.

It's not always easy for me to remember to do it though because most 
of my free time is spent away from home with others & on a laptop, so 
if I'm pressed for time or got my mind on something else, I'll let 
the copy & paste into Word part slide & hope no one notices it.  My 
first thread to the main list was submitted when I was both eating 
supper & studying for an exam that I had in 20 minutes, for example.
