Can and where to post non gatch stories

Hi guys,

i have already pm'd Cep about this but am yet to hear back.........

i have some short stories, approx 2-3 pages in length each that aren't gatch related......

my question is this, can i post them in here somewhere?,

second question is where?

now what i have written is "adult" in content, some contain sex scenes between consenting adults M/F only.

it'd be great to share them with others instead of sitting on paper and on floppies, i also have a fair whack of my poetry saved.

I am more than happy to email them to someone privately to judge suitability, etc. they are in doc format, just have to fix one up, it changed itself to greek for some reason and all my copies did it, grrrr.

they mostly deal with seduction and start off harmless to fairly full on, my way of coping i guess with a situation i was in, same tortured story as most of my poetry, full of angst, etc,

hope to get some replies soon

Michelle

You could always post them under the writers block or the editorials and essays sections if you are not too sure about posting them in fics.

Look forward to reading them

Also, if you're worried about someone getting offended (like...*really* worried...) at the adult content, you could always put them in the rubber room section.

So, pick a place and post 'em!

Yep, if the content is explicit, then the rubber room would definitely be best.

The worst bit will be the italics and bold.

If you're going Word to HTML, www.onebit.ca/cricket has some ideas.

Or, try out onebit's tool, and tell him that it needs work to be friendly enough for non-techies to use.

If you're going to post directly to a thread, email me. The basic process applies, but not all the codes are the same.

Looking forward to reading them!

fortunately i don't think i have used italics and even use of bold is minimal, if existant.

thanks for the tips, will see how it comes across and preview it, if thats possible? lol, i guess it will be trial and error, hopefully not to much of the latter.
