I thought "wassr" had been banned before for this crap. And if he wasn't, why?

Back on the topic of this thread - Nanci, I realized that this thread isn't locked when viewing it from the Cellar, but up in the "Read this before posting" section of the forum (which is where I originally saw it), it is locked. I didn't know that was possible.

If Nanci is still traveling and can't respond to this, I'll get involved, but I don't want to be banning people without talking to her first.

Wassr, I think I know who you are, and it appears you are off your meds again. Shouldn't you be fighting with the guys over on Shocklines?

Wassr has been banned permanently. I apologize for the negativity.

Grrr....I should have paid closer attention. I've been typing my story double-spaced and with tabs on each new paragraph.

I started it that way, too, Craig. It was an easy fix to format it properly without losing anything, though.

Honestly guys, it's not like I, or Nanci I think, would reject a story because the formatting is incorrect. I guess some people do that but not me.

I certainly appreciate that, Chris, but I guess my frustration was more about my own lack of paying attention. As someone working on a story to submit, I'd like to think I'm capable of decent reading comprehension.

There's such a difference between the print and online formatting requirements, in the end I gave up and I write in a format that is comfortable. For me that's black screen, colored text, large print. It's easy on the eye, especially after my retina op and the fact that I'm sometimes staring at the monitor for up to five hours at a time.

Then I convert. It's no picnic formatting a novel, certainly, although I've made it part of my editing process.

Please note: The deadline for submissions Eulogies II has been extended to October 31st.

OK Folks - due to the overwhelming number of submissions we've received over the last couple of weeks, we're going to have to close to submissions on September 30th so get your stories in before that date. There are a lot of submissions to go through and if we're going to meet our deadline of the end of the year, we need to take this action. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone too much but we discussed it and are hopeful that the 2+ week's notice will give you enough time to polish your stories and get them to us.
