Introduction type thingie

Boo.
I've sorta been lurking around since August last year (you can thank Virmir, I was looking at his stuff and followed the link), and I became quite intrigued with this little project you've got going on; mostly agape that something like this has been able to keep going for over ten years. That, and a really engrossing storyline.

I've actually been working on a first story off and on since last August since I became aware of this place, mostly being kept from finishing by long hiatuses and by the fact that it's been getting progressively longer and longer the more I get into it. Anywhere else I'd call the thing a tome, but this place has Charles, so I will refrain. I've been putting off announcing myself until the thing is nearly completed, so hopefully it should be done in a week or so.

Sooooo, that's the introduction. Thing.

Looking forward to reading your story, and welcome to MK. :)

My intro to MK was via Fox Cutter's A Fox in the Works (sadly it's removed from his site now) a few years ago but I didn't pursue the regular MK stories at the time. I've only been working away at the archives since this spring (still have around 100 to go).

Welcome to Metamor Keep, Mr. Toast!

Please share any tomes of whatever dimensions you have with us. I am always eager to see more of this wonderful world we call Metamor. :-)

Hey Toast! Always great to have new people, especially when they manage to read the (large chunk of) the archives! I myself have been around this place since August of last year (May actually, but meh) and been having a lot of fun. It's true Vir rakes in a lot of new people though, thankfully I got in through DMFA's Xepher link so he can't hold that over me ^.^ Anyway, looking forward to your story as new entries to MK are always welcome!

You mean the banner ad I made on the link network I added the MK site to because I though it would help get MK more exposure? ;)

PWND! :P

Oh well if we're going to count THAT, then yes you are indirectly responsible for me finding this place, but you didn't BRING me here, you just built the bridge I crossed. You may as well give equal credit to my roommate in freshman year who was boring enough I started spending more time on the internet :p Or to the artist who drew the banner that flagged my attention, or to the various authors I recognized from previous works in WoC or TBP and decided to stick around for at first. Besides, even if you WERE responsible, I'd never admit it now would I? ^.^

Whew, the thing's almost done. I've just got to give it one final read over and polishing and it'll be really done. It should be sent up to the mailing list in a day or two.

*undergoes grand mal seizure*

I'm not sure how, but that mailing list formats stuff weird and now it looks like I sent a txt that wasn't word wrapped. Is that just showing up weird on the mailing list page itself or is it screwed up on the sent e-mails too?

Your emails look fine on my end. Wow! 18 parts and they are still coming in. Looking forward to reading this. :)

18 parts? Does that mean there's 12 more parts still on the way or were they repackaged into 6 larger parts?

Re: Introduction type thingie

The latter.

When you send an email to the lists make sure the email is created using PLAIN TEXT ONLY! I have to do the same thing. If I do not do that my emails come thru all garbled. If using Outlook choose Actions, then 'New Mail using Plain text'.

My mailer (TheBat!) is set (but configurable) by default to write plain text mails. I also have it set to display the plain text first in multipart messages, clicking the html tab to show a formatted version.

So many emails are several times larger than necessary due to html, or worse yet, multipart plain-text+html. Then there's the multi-nested quoted and attached previous messages. Very sloppy much of the time… and that's before people mangle it with their editing.
