How To Add A New Story
If you have never used this site before or any other site that uses eFiction as it's engine, here are a few simple things to keep in mind while adding a story to the database.- Firstly, you have the option of using tinyMCE WYSWYG editor. If you are not familiar with html tags then you should consider this option. You will have the use of a small editor, similar to text editors to help you format your story.
- It is completely unnecessary to enter story notes, chapter notes and end notes if you do not wish to. You may find that you will need to enter story notes on occasion or if a chapter might contain something truly shocking to the readers, you may feel it necessary to add a note. But you are not obligated to do so and may ignore these fields when adding a new story.
- When Selecting a category, you merely have to highlight the category in the Category Options list box and move it to the Selected Category list box using the > button between the two boxes. You must have a category selected. Remember fanfiction writers, you can have categories added by requesting admin to add your category.
- To make multiple selections from a list box, such as the Characters, Genre or Warnings list box, you need to hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard while making selections.
- Do select a beta indicator. Those posting Published Fictions should always say Yes to beta'd.
- If your story is complete, please check off the completed check box.
- Not using tinyMCE WYSWYG editor and wondering what all those tags mean?
- It is a good idea to preview your story, especially if you are using the html tags, just to be sure it looks the way you want it to.
