Help!! having problems submitting my stories

[turtledove]

Hello-here's the problem: I have tried to submit my stories via e-mail. I recieved the link to submit via e-mail from literotica-but they say they can't open it or load it. When I tried to paste the story-it looked like hyroglyphs. I really would like to submit my stories. I have "PC" and Microsoft works-I've sent the story as "Rich text" and "Word" text--Can anyone help?

Don't have an answer but wondering if you posted this on the Authors' Hangout as well. Someone there might know as well. Good luck.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but from your description of the C&P attempts I suspect it's a problem with the way you have MS Works cofigured -- Literotica doesn't handle "special characters" and "Word Processor formatting codes" well and will present them as "heiroglyphs."

MSWorks should have a "Plain Text" mode or style sheet that you need to use for your stories -- or reformat the story to before submitting it.

Try saving a COPY of your story in RTF format and then open it with WordPad (Windows' included text editor program.)

That will tell you if the e-mail problem is with the file format or the transmission process.

Try the same thing with saving in a pure text or MSDOS Text format.

When you find a format that you can open in WordPad, you should be able to C&P from WordPad to the submission form with no problems.

If you can't resolve the problem by changing the style sheet or using WordPad as an intermediary step, E-Mail me through my author's page (not PM me) and we can make arrangements to see what I can determine from a copy of your story.
