I'm new to this BBS, and I haven't had a chance to introduce myself, so hello! I think you know already that I'm DS9 Fan so we can skip that... ;D BTW, I noticed that there are some people here who post at the Fan Fiction forum at the Trek BBS where I originate...glad to see you here.
I guess I could tell you about my past in FF. I've been writing fan fiction for 6 years now. I'm working on a series called "Federation" and I've got the first 5 "episodes" completed. I've been having trouble posting it because for some reason the C&P option hasn't been working.
The stories are actually scripts, and most are about 40-45 pages long(it doesn't take long to read because of it's script form, though).
I'll try to get Episode 1 posted and fix this problem I have with the C&P option...maybe something is disabled that should have been enabled.

Hi, Stolen Thunder.
I fixed the C&P problem I had earlier, I think.
I have a question(anyone can answer). I was told there was a limit to the number of words there could be in a post. Does anyone know how far that limit is? I've been trying to post episode one of my series and it seems that I've been having to make the segments so small that I think it could literally take at least one to two dozen posts to get it up(Episode One is over 30 pages long...and that's after I divided it in half so it could be two episodes.). But I'm afraid to do that because I don't want to troll or post *that* many posts. I don't know, but is there a way the restriction could be lifted in the fan fiction forum so I can post maybe 10 pages at a time? Or permission to "troll" my stories up here? I wouldn't want to offend anyone.

Hello, Yea, that's a small glitch with ProBoards . Anyway, of-course you can do many posts. I don't care if it takes 100 posts... It will definatly not be considered as "trolling" or "spamming". Your Mod, FC

I'll work on dividing the story, then and get back to you all. Shouldn't be too big of a problem. Just a little time consuming.

Thanks Mentat Tir and Dohlman. I'll try posting it ASAP. I'm still trying to figure out how much I can post at a time. There was nothing on the FAQ so I'm just going to have to use the old approach of trial and error to do it.
I think I better just edit this message instead of posting again. I've done enough spamming in my Federation thread!(oh I believe I called it trolling earlier but I just found out that trolling is harrassment, not repeated posting like spamming. Sorry about the error.)
It took 20 posts, but I'm finally done. :phew:

Look at it this way: at Trek BBS this would have only been one prost, but here you get a big post-count boost ;D

I suppose so... ;D
Now all I have to do is figure out how all of those buttons work. Hopefully you don't mind if I test one a second...
EDIT: ^^^I can see how that can get annoying after a while...

Oh, if I posted a 35 page script as a marquee I have no doubt in my mind that I would be taken to the nearest execution booth! Or if there isn't an execution booth, I'm sure somebody would build one.

I'll just pop over to Eminiar VII and borrow one, just in case!
