I always feel so dumb dealing with computers, and I know it's just another language.. but.
I simply cannot understand the instructions for submitting a few chapters of a longer story. Like, and how to format it and whether I'll be creating an unreadable problem instead of a posting... I don't even know if *book* is the correct category...
Please, can you help me?

Submitting chapters

erin's picture

Use Fiction as the submission type, Book is for organizing chapters together and I do that.

Name each chapter in the title box something like this: Pink is for Boys -3- Last One Asked

Where Pink is for Boys is the story title
3 is the chapter number
and Last One Asked is the chapter title.

Other than that, you can treat chapters just like stories, I do the rest of making the organization work. If you do it according to the plan above, I'll have less trouble.

Erin: Your advice

Thank you thank you, Erin!

I hope these three parts make sense, and I have to say, the previews look right... thank you! More is coming, the story is finnished (now I just have to get it englished).

Michelle

P.S. Thank you too, the other authors who have offered such help... I'll be bugging you for knowledge all too soon. :- )

Having only done 2 stories so far..

I am probably not the best qualified to explain the process to you. If someone can't explain it to your satisfaction, I'm more than happy to post it for you.

I think my process of going from Word to HTML is unorthodox and would be harder to explain than to just do. I can say the formatting on here looks just like it does in Word when I'm done.

Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that would haul that tanker.

You want to get out of here? You talk to me.

Toady: Greetings from The Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!

Humungus: I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war.

Be still my dog of war. I understand your pain. We've all lost someone we love. But we do it my way! We do it my way. Fear is our ally. The "story" will be yours. Then you shall have your revenge.

(Oops sorry wrong window, "ROFL.")

If you need help in posting I can help!
Got trouble converting from WORD to WEB html style I can help. I've posted for Angel and Holly Hart. And when its posted I have Erin turn control of the story back to you so if you want to tweak it.

(We now return you to the movie!)

Max: I'm just here for the gasoline.

If it's all the same to you... I'll drive that tanker.

The Gyro Captain: Empty! All this time!
That's dishonest! Low!

Fifi: They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well damn them! You and me, Michelle, we're gonna give them back their heroes!

Goose: You can shut the gate on this one, Michelle... it's the duck's guts!

(I love movie quotes, the are so fun)

You noticed?

Alexis,
I've known that for a long time I'm surprised it took you this long to realize this.
I've been a card carrying member of the "loony club," sense I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I've been known to drive a normal crazy.
