a couple of questions for you author types.

[killallhippies]

1. what's the code for italics and stuff of that sort in stories?
2. what's the protocol for asking a strange editor you don't know for their help?
3. anyone wanna proof read my new story?

that is all. answer one or all or two or what have you just answer. thankie.

 

[killallhippies]

anyone? hello? *taptaptap* is this thing on?

 

[cantdog]

Happy to. You're an author type, yourself, so enough with the self effacement.

The submit-a-story box uses html so it's carets you need: <i> this is italic in the story box but not here</i>.

The full discussion is in a how-to by Alex de Kok.

That's one. Three: sure, if it ain't novelishly long. email it to me.

Hi Kill.
1) for submitting a story I use <i>text</i> for italics, bold and underscore, but some people say the ['s and /]'s work.

2) just be polite, use good grammar and explain what you want.

3) don't have time

sweet.

and my story is just over ten pages on word. pm me your email address and i'll send it to you with my thanks. i warn you, though, it might be a terrible mess. i wrote in fits and starts over a two month period while i tried to write other things that didn't work out.

Some people are mistaken about that. Only the <> will work. Or if the stuff is submitted as a Word or rtf file.

Sorry kill, but I can't help you with editing. I'm probably the worst edotir in the course of human history.

it's okay. hopefully i'll find someone or i'll just ask carsonshepherd if he'll do it again.

btw, for those who don't know, the lit editor search is a pain in the ass.

Unlike Carson? *duck*

tsk, tsk.

The first two questions seem to have been answered (and I just learned those answers here, anyway) but as for reading the story... If you want a second opinion to cant's, I can read it. Is that 10 pages single spaced? Or double? And what type story is it? (Don't want to say for certain if it isn't something that I can really help with...)

single spaced with a space between paragraphs in size 10 font. it's a lesbian story, the second part of another story to be exact. if you want to see the first half look in my sig under old shit and look for the "best sort of bad day chapter one." it might give you an idea of the content.

and cant still hasn't responded. i think i killed him. poor guy.

Relax, it's only been an hour. He might have some sort of ... "life" thing going on, although if he does, I shall envy him sincerely.

Size 12 font would entice more people....

Yeah. Bend over and I'll show you.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Yeah. Bend over and I'll show you.

And they said romance was dead.

[Lisa Denton]

You just told a horse to bend over.

 

[carsonshepherd]

You just told a horse to bend over.

Actually I was talking to you....

 

[Lisa Denton]

Is the horse gonna watch? I don't go for that kinky stuff, Ima good girl.

that's easy to fix. edit ---> select all ----> change font size to 12. MAGIC!

[Lisa Denton]

Is it true that guys with small handwriting have really big torpedoes?
