"Eh What's up .Doc?"
16 years ago
The Rantings of an Art Crazed Chow, Second verse, same as the first.
No it is not a typo, it's a question. Since I am reposting stories again a question has crossed my slightly unstable mind. What format to post again? My last two story posts were in .txt format which is fine for short stuff that is less than 200kb, but what happens when I start posting text bigger than that? I could continue to use .Doc and .Rtf but past lessons taught me that most folks won't bother reading a story if it is in those formats. I'm trying to make it easy for folks to read and enjoy what I have written but not at the expense of shutting out folks who can't read .Rtf and .Doc formats. It would be nice if FA would include .html format, I have pages ready to post.
Oh well, let me know what you folks think, er those who read my stories that is. Cheers.
Plus this journal post is to push down that mess I called my last journal post.

File format isn't the main reason people don't read, people not wanting to read is the main reason people don't read stories that people post here. They're much more interested in visual art. If you've been using notepad to write the stories thusfar continuing to do so won't hurt you even if you write lengthier stories. But when you use notepad or wordpad, sometimes characters such as quotation marks and accent marks don't show up (a lesson I found out the hard way when I wrote a story http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1992075/) I'd say use .doc format since it seems to work well.

OP
Yep, I kinda noticed that over the years. That's why for most of my stories for now on I'm doing place card art, as well as art excerpts. I figured if the reader has an idea what the characters of the stories look like, maybe they be interested in reading about them. Mostly all of my stories are in .Doc format, .html format, as well as text with Artist's light being the earliest having all three in a zip file when I had my website. as for text, I discovered that saving in utf 8 format works great for the quotes and other points and marks. I've read your story and it took me a moment to mentally translate it, but over all, it is a good story and I do see your point. Thanks so much for replying and sorry if this is late. Been plotting evil and such.

Evil geniuses always have other things to do so no worries about the lateness. At least you responded and thank you for reading the story.
