That could be it.

 I'm not adding the coding manually, I'm doing it in Wordpad and then copy+pasting it into the box. That might be the problem-maybe the formats aren't quite compatible? Meh.

 It's not that big a deal; I'll just keep previewing it to make sure it looks right before I post it.

 Thanks for your help!

Thank you!

Surprisingly, Harry is harder to write for me than Snape is. Snape's dry, dark humor and razor-sharp insults are really close to how I normally speak (minus the English accent), so his words tend to flow for me, and I have more trouble keeping Harry in character.

Every once in a while I'll notice a typo, but I try to edit those out as I find them since I can't stand waiting days or weeks for a beta to get back to me.

I'm glad you're liking it thus far, I have lots more planned.

I don't think the mother is going to play much of a part in the future.

Basically, she's given him up for adoption, so to speak. She's underage, currently living in an orphanage, and given the circumstances of Ciaran's conception, she likely wants to push it to the back of her mind and go on with her life.

It's possible that who she is may come out in the course of the story (it's not a major character, so it's really irrelevant), but I doubt very much she is going to be part of their lives.

And that certainly doesn't make her a bad person; if anything, she's a victim, and she's entitled to do what she feels is best both for herself, and for the baby, which has already, thus far.

So, while her identity may be mentioned, I don't think she'll be making an actual appearance down the line. Sorry to disappoint!
