RatF Revisions

I’ve gotten started on the RIGHT ANGLES TO FAERYLAND revisions this week. Bryant did wonders with converting the Word-built HTML into something I could actually work with, but there are still some format issues, so I’ve been going through, reading the manuscript and correcting the formatting.
