By the way, a big thanks to the Animorphs for demonstrating this for us.

1. Please, don't write out HTML things. And do spaces between thought speech marks.

< Like this, with a space between the marks. >

< That is correct, shorm. If you do it other ways, the computer detects it as HTML. >

"Thanks, Ax and Tobias."

2. That's another thing. "Do conversation like described above," Cassie explains. "Not in one paragraph like this," Rachel says. "Yeah, it can get boring," Jake adds. "Oh, kind of like Starseeker?" "Shut up Marco! I am not boring!"

3. Please, nothing that's over an R rating for violence and cursing. No real sexual content either. "Yeah, like don't make Marco all the sudden get weird on us," Rachel supports. "In a way that he isn't weird already, that is." Just to be sure we're clear, please tell me what you'd rate it.

4. You can send a story as an attachment. But not if it's only 3 pages. And if you do attach something (which I hope you'll do if you want to send something. I really don't like having to copy the whole thing and re format it.) then send it as an HTML or WORD DOCUMENT format. No TXT files are accepted. They're almost as bad as having to do the whole story over again. "Hey, do you know how boring it is to sit there and tab over...tab over...tab over...then spell check and stuff? Starseeker's computer forgets to add spakes between words a lot, too," Jake noted.

"Yeah, I have a really messed up computer."

5. Send the following:

Name

E-mail address (If it's different from the one you're sending the story with)

Story Title

Short Summary (Optional)

The file (or where it can be found. But ONLY if it's your story.) But you probably know that.

Rating (It won't be posted unless it's over PG13.)
