Okay! The character count is staying at 4000, and we have a new counter, thanks to the lovely Kent, that doesn't count the spaces. So get to it, people! ; D Please remember though, no editing! |
Hello Mr.Mayor, I was wondering if the first post in the journal is just your usual introductory post?
And then after that it's the opening post to the contest? |
Nevermind, I answered my own question. Derp!
|
This interest me. o 3o But I'm not into writing stories lately. ; 3; |
Oh, neat!!! I think I will do this :D
|
My posts seems to have merged together. Will that be a problem?
|
Oh ho ho, this looks like fun! Unfortunately, I have to go to bed now, but I will start my post bright and early tomorrow!
|
This sounds totally awesome. I hope I can do it!!
|
Mr. Mayor, thank you for giving a fabulous idea for my NaNoWriMo story as well!
-scurries off to find his quill and ink- A little question, am I allowed to 'dandify' internet slang, such as "OMG" to, for example: "Oh dear lord." ? |
This looks interesting! Shame I kind lost all storywriting abilities after leaving school :oops:
Artsydaze: This will help you, you don't want your entries merging together, I'm sure --> http://www.menewsha.com/forum/main/f...do-i-stop.html |
Gonna start my first entry this evening. :3 Already got my thread ready to go. :boogie: This is gonna be fun.
|
I have a question. Are you able to double post in the entry diary, or do you just keep editing the same post with different days like you would normally on Mene?
|
Going to start my journal/diary entry now.
Question: may I write it as a diary entry. Or does it need to be in story form? |
@Jelly: I see! So I will have to delete it and post another one, then?
|
@artsy
Not necessarily. Them merging is probably fine. Just make sure you click that button when You post again. :] |
@Shadami: I copy pasted it just in case... though some funky color code ending seems to have gotten into it :?...
|
OH! that color code is from it being posted into the same post before. Its the color of that dotted line that appears. It comes with a slightly off gray color code.
|
I know, but I only noticed it when it was too late ^^'...
|
Oh well. Now you know what to look for :]
|
Aw yeah, just wrote my first entry.
And w o w, 3500 is not a lot. I had to edit mine a tone before it was under the limit. lol, I have this whole big story planned and I hope I can get it all in! |
