I missed mentioning, but TextEdit and TextWrangler are Mac programs -- they're very good if someone wants to use a Mac to do this type of work, though.
I agree about PDF's! So good for some uses, so bad for others -- including basically anything other than printing on standard size paper.
That would be a great idea for the fic archives! Although, 99% of what I read is from my friends list and hasn't made it to any archive yet.
I spent a bit of time today messing with a Merlin fic that wasn't on your archive (but which I think is my favorite Merlin fic of all time -- do you know the fratboy!Arthur fic?) So I was wondering, did you approach the authors for permission to publish their stuff, or was it more instigated by them? I'd be willing to ask the author and pass along what I put together, if she agrees. Only thing is, I think there might be art associated with it, and I don't know how to incorporate it (I think you can't for my viewing setup.)
I'll look though my book list and send you an email with the ePub's I created. :)
