Sumission Guidelines
I added this to help the ones who are in doubt of how to go about
posting a story to the list. To make
sure everyone can enjoy your stories when you post them, here are some
suggestions on formats to follow
if needed.
Subject Line:
FIC: "Story Title" (Part number/Total # of parts)
{e.g.}FIC: Summer Nights 1/5
If you are unsure how many parts you will have to your story you can
put a "?" for the total number of parts
{e.g.}FIC: Summer Nights 1/?
Before the story, please include the following information:
Archive: yes or no, and where {Late
- Night - Musings, anywhere else please ask!!}
Pairings: you might want to indicate
which characters are going to romantically involved in your story,
unless it is meant to be a surprise to the reader.

Personally, I think that you can just use the above selection of abbreviations
for any warnings you
wish to use in your posts.
Summary: if you wish, a brief 1
or 2-line story summary, notes if the story is part of a series, etc.

| Very Important:
Be careful when formatting your story since any special characters such
as "smart quotes", tabs, ellipses, often will get garbled and make it difficult
for people to read your story. A way to avoid this is to save your story
in "Text only" format, close the file, and then re-open it. "Cut and paste"
your story into your email message, and you should be fine! Please
Don't Send stories as file attachments, as some people cannot accept
attached files through their email provider or program {and they do not
show up on the Yahoogroups archives digests}. |
