Shannon,
Have no fear. Nothing you can do will get you into
trouble here. This is one of the nicest and most
helpful groups of people I've ever been in contact
with, and that's true of the administrators as well as
the volunteers and members.
You could just put a note in the long synopsis (I get
the impression that the Comments section doesn't go
with the book, though that doesn't make sense to me
since it's there when we upload -- maybe I'm wrong
about that) and the Comments section that the page
numbers are missing but all the text is there.Since
it's fiction,t he page numbers aren't as important as
in nonfiction -- and people have posted here that they
use symbols or that some speech readers retain the
place in the book.
