4. It is usually best to wrap the text at less than 80 characters per
line, if for no other reason than RAAC requires a 60-80 char wrap on all
of the 'fics posted there. This message follows that, by the way.
Opps, Nightelf, you forgot to mention one of the more frequent mistakes
first time posters usually make. Post only text messages, not Word, WP,
or any other word processors encoded files. Most people have trouble
reading these. Also, if possible, try to include the 'fic as the main body of
your message as SOME mail programs encode attachments and they can't be
read by people.
real name is Adam J. Barnes. this is the last time you will see me use
this name. If anyone else uses this name I will send them flame e-mail
until their service provider crashes. My handle is Alpha Centauri, the
name I ALWAYS use online. any contraction of said handle is acceptable.
Greetings Centauri, I'm Stargazer.
