10. Is there a specific way to list the title of my story when posting to the email lists
that will help with archiving? Something special for stories with multiple parts?
When you write the subject header for your post, please label it in one
of the following ways:
- If it's a finished story that can stand alone, label it this way:
- Trust Me (1/1) or if this post were the first of four: Trust Me (1/4)
- If it's a series, use the series' name and a roman numeral for each story
like this:
- Trust Me II (1/1) or, if it were the first of five parts, Trust
Me II (1/5).
- Each story in the series can have separate names, like:
- Trust Me II: Water (1/1) (or 1/# if multi-part)
- If it's unfinished, not completely written yet, label it this way:
- Trust Me (1/?) or if it's a sequel, Trust Me II (1/?)
- Or if you're posting a long story by chapters, label the individual
installments as chapters, like this:
- Trust Me Chapter 3 (1/1) or, if posting in multi-parts, Trust Me
Chapter 3 (1/#)
