Here are some tips & tricks to keep long stories on the forum readable:

• Do not put down huge blocks of text, but divide your text into paragraphs of 3 to 4 lines with a blank line in between. This is much easier to read than a solid block of text. You create a blank line by pressing enter.
• When you copy and paste something (for example if you already posted your story on another forum and want to post it here as well) paste it in a notepad first and copy it again before pasting it here. This will make the formatting disappear. If you don't, there's a good chance that the text here is illegible. Of course you are not allowed to do this with texts that belong to someone else.
• If you have a very long story to tell, it is advisable to spread it over several posts. People often shy away from reading a very long story. When you post a part every day, your story will be read better.
