Title: Essay I wrote
Post by: Ishbar on May 23, 2006, 05:39 PM
So, for school I had to write a short story, roughly 1,200 words [Or more]
It had to be a horror story, or something that underlines whatever pretenses elaborated in your typical one. [Horror Story]
With the given, I had no idea what to do...till the 'eve' of the projects due date. I was up till 4 writting this, and just am currious to see what your thoughts, opinions, and criticism are on my probable contradictions, horrid grammar and punctuation, and appalling writting habbits.  :-\

Here you go






Well...aparently..It gets hideously ruined when I copy and past it from word..any suggestions to getting it up?

Can't you just host it somewhere as plain text? Rafm.org?

it ruins all the indents, and paragraph structure, and character dialouge. It just puts it into a big hodgepodge!

It's not meant for posting large formatted documents such as a horror story. Thankfully you didn't register and then post.. it'll be gone tomorrow. :-p

If you're having trouble finding a place to host a TEXT file for crying out loud then your story is not worthy...

You never even tried searching google after reading my suggestion. I searched google for "free file upload" and I found many adequate sites doing so.

Indents and character dialogue. Remember, it's whitespace that makes good stories!

javaop.com/upload gives me 404.

What happened to Stealth's suggestion?

That seems rather long for a roughly 1200 word long short story.
