  2. Um, Question.. Will special formatting be a problem in these books..? I mean like colored text, obsfucation, italics, bold.. etc?

  4. Depends. A normal book & quill doesn't support this nor does a signed book. So its probably best not to rely on formatting (this is my major problem too right now: how to really draw people's attention in without formatting).

    So far I'm resorting to using '/' for emphasising. For example when I /really/ need to stress something out.

    PS: I'm doing a horrid job so far, I'm much better with fantasy stories than scary stories. All I managed to do so far was to make some people laugh :p not a good start.

  5. Incorrect. Otherwise my signatures would really be magic.
    Use this symbol: § in the book like you would use & on a sign with all the same color codes as shown with /color

  8. Having never seen one I don't really know what you're referring to but.. Aren't you magical anyway which could also explain all that? ;)

    Anyway, I looked it up to make sure (I know: I should have done that up front) and what do you know?

    I stand corrected: you're right (obviously).

    For some reason the copy/paste requirement always convinces me that this isn't possible. Try asking me again in 4 months: I'll make the same mistake.

  9. The copy/paste of the section symbol for the line codes is a little quirky in books.. xD

  15. Ooooh, I'll have to try to snag yours. :p

    Anyway, I submitted one as well, for anyone interested. Mine is a terrifying story of, er, terrifying terror. I call it....

    Not even sprinkles can mask the evil within...


    EDIT: This title is not a joke, unless I misquoted my own subtitle. :p

  17. It is made in the form of a poem, written in verses and with rhyme schemes... Not that easy :(

  18. I was only able to submit one book, what with translating it and trying to make the text from the original manuscript family friendly... My only regret is that I could not translate the second part fast enough to submit it.. :oops: ..But, lets just say, people should be pleased.. :D
