Woot! Hi, everyone. So much fun to see old friends in this contest. Except for Rodrigo... he's going DOWN. You can't trust people born on his birthday. Note: rumors that Rodrigo and I were born on the exact same day and year are scurrilous.
Hellefire, a suggestion: if anyone not the judges posts story comments before the judges have weighed in, let's do so in a [sblock]. That way the judges can easily ignore it until they've made their decision.
PS: Piratecat's Messiah Killer is most likely still my favourite. Can anyone find a link?
Sure thing! It's post #513
in this thread.
Folks,
a few other bits of advice when posting your story:
Most word processing programs automatically put in spaces between paragraphs. Those spaces are formatting that doesn't carry on over to EN World. You'll want to put hard returns and line skips between your paragraphs, or risk accidentally posting a single giant block of text that's hard for the judges to read.
Similarly, consider using the "preview your post" feature. It'll help you find mistakes and formatting oddities.
Finally, if you want to hyperlink the photos right into your story, here's how.
1. In the judge post that shows your photographs, right click each one and open them in their own tab/browser window.
2. Copy the url.
3. In your story, use the following code for where you want the photo to be linked, except replace {} with [].
{url=PASTE THE URL HERE} the text here is the highlighted link{/url}
So if I wanted to link to
this image of a shaved llama, my sentence would read:
I want to link to {url=http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/71037_292468348723_317087_n.jpg}this image of a shaved llama{/url} because it's awesome.
