[Mkguild] First story and character by Leafblade.

[Christian Okane]

The list controller here to explain things.

   The Mailing list engine is a bit weird and can be (VERY) picky at times.
For the best results a story should be posted by cutting and pasting
directly into the body of the email. Another minor worry is the email cannot
be more then 8k long (which works out to be around 8 - 9 pages of text). If
you do go over the limit you'll get a warning about it. And so will I. I
then go into the control panel and manually release it.

 If its longer then the 8k limit simply break it up into multiple parts. I
hold the record for the most parts. Winter Assault took lover 100 parts and
the better part of a year to post! but that was over 600 pages long. As a
warning the list engine tends to lose things like italics and bold settings
which I find very annoying.


If you need to post with an attachment its best to use something fairly
widespread like .doc, .rtf or .txt. The list engine seems to prefer .rtf -
I've no idea why. There are problems with the .docx format that I just found
out about - it seems older versions of Word CANNOT read it for legal
reasons. Very annoying as I like it!


   BTW - to get a story into the archive you need to send the story to
Virmir and that CAN be an attachment with all the correct settings and
italics and stuff!


I hope this helps and doesn't confuse you. 

If you have any questions feel free to ask,

The story needs to be posted in plain text to the list.  Attachment in 
this (docx) or other formats can be used when it is reviewed and moved 
to the archive but until then the best way is to do a cut and paste to 
notepad followed by cut and paste from notepad into your mail client.

A list uncle will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's the standard.
