Character Creating Woes
« on: March 15, 2010, 07:16:29 AM »
Just though I'd let you know that I've run into a snag posting up my character description.

The problem is that  it's over 33 000 characters, and the board doesn't allow posts of over 20 000.

I thought about breaking it into sections (it's already divided into different headings), but then realized that since the posts need to be approved before they appear, I probably wouldn't be able to post a reply until the first section gets approved, etc etc.

I didn't test it out because I didn't want to make a mess of the nice board, so what's the deal?  How should I go about ithis?

Perhaps you should just publish the novel and send us all a copy o.O =P

Uh, holy shit.

Let me look into this.

Well, that all went well this time.

However, I have to say that I tend to do a lot of editing after I've posted, mostly just to correct small grammar issues and the like that somehow missed by half-assed proof reading.  Not being able to edit the posts is a real pain for someone who posts like me...

I understand your problem. My main problem right now is that I'd love to just allow everyone to edit their stuff, but that defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do here.

Tell you what, Soul... if you want, make your grammar edits and email or PM them to me. I'll make sure that they get revised.

Is there any way I'd be able to just email you my profile and have it approved there? it may sound odd, but I'd rather have it approved before I post it, rather than go through all the effort of posting a profile only to have it disapproved publicly and do it all over again. Silly, I know. But no harm in asking, right?

Disapproval does not occur publicly. Your post only appears when I approve it. If I deny it, it is never seen. So submitting the post for approval is actually identical to emailing it to me.

This is incorrect. I disapprove of all of you.

So I could just post my character right now like normal? Well then, looks like I have work to do. Thanks.

And this is why Kith is my hero.
