What I am trying to do is to satisfy both authors and readers as nearly as possible. For the readers: That means that I won't post anything that is in an unreadable format, nor anything which I haven't read myself and wouldn't want to. That means that I am trying to keep all files shorter than 30K as that is the length which gives almost nobody problems. That means that I post story codes in almost all cases. The story codes on the subject line are my own, not necessarily those (if any) that the author used. This gives some degree of consistency, and I try to follow the story code FAQ. That means that I will post relatively few incomplete stories, and only those where I believe that the section stands by itself. These should be labeled "part" on the subject line. For the authors: That means that I won't post any story unless I am fairly well convinced that the author welcomes reposting. Right now, I am sticking with stories which give an author's disclaimer and those stories whose authors I have actually contacted. That means that I try to publish a disclaimer from the author expressing his copyright claim. The _next_ reposter won't have to guess. That means that I keep the author's name and the title that he gave the story close to the body of story. Right now, I plan to repost five files a day. One of these will be one chapter in the marvelous serial "The Adventures of Me and Martha Jane." This story is complete, but it was originally posted as a long serial. I think that it reads better this way. ================== The reposts for next week. Remember that these are the scheduled posting dates. The stories may land on your news reader in minutes, in days, or never. As mentioned, I'll continue the classic "The Adventures of Me and Martha Jane." This coming week will include parts 5B to 6C. Monday: The mermaid was fell in love with a prince and was miraculously granted legs; so they lived happily ever after, or did they? {Morgan}JDR"Ariel's Wedding Night"( MF 1st )[1/1] It was a meeting from hell and she had nothing to look forward to except a sterile hotel room ... {RC}JDR"The Cabbie"( FF )[1/1] A long-married couple's efforts to protect the new carpet from stains.

The mention of consolidating chapters above leads naturally into my compromise between the goals of delivering stories in precisely the form in which authors posted them and giving readers something reasonable to download. If the story is too long to post in one chunk, I use two numbering systems. ("The Adventures of Me and Martha Jane," already uses a complicated system. I follow it exactly.) Anything with numbers within the quotation marks represents the author's separations. If I am posting an entire chapter or several chapters of a work in one file that is all that you see within those quotation marks. If the author doesn't provide breaks, I break the story into sections and use _capital_ letters to designate those sections. If the author uses chapters which are still too long, I break the chapters into sections and designate those sections with the author's chapter number and _small_ letters. Generally, I use "part" or "chapter" (or whatever the author uses) to designate the author's divisions. I use "section" to designate my divisions. In the square brackets at the end, I use precisely the number of sections into which the story is broken. It has everything to do with the particular method of posting, and nothing to do with the author's breakdown. -30- -- +--------------' Story submission `-+-' Moderator contact `------------+ | story-submit@qz.little-neck.ny.us | story-admin@qz.little-neck.ny.us |
