I certainly don't mind offering pointers! I'm busy at work just now, so depending on work load I may or may not get around to reading everything(and that goes for everyone, I haven't read Kalan or Fading's posts yet either) but I'm expecting to get on the computer tonight, catch up, and make replies where appropriate(though I may or may not have anything to add in the IC yet). 

Oh fuck, that was all one run on sentence. First writing tip is don't do that.
