Subject: Attn. Kwantel Bates

Kwantel, I want to apologize for deleting your stories. It is okay to post stories here, but the given story needs to be hidden in the reply, with appropriate warnings in the subject line if there is adult content.

Actually, a better match for your stories might be one of the LFN storyboards:

LFN Storyboard 1
LFN Storyboard 2

They still get a dedicated and enthusiastic group of readers and writers, many of whom are longtime fans of the show. If you get a look at these boards, you will pick up on the generally accepted format for posting stories, but I'll put the procedure below as well.

[> How to post a story or longer article:(r) -- Susan W, 14:16:10 08/24/03 Sun

1. Click on "Post a new message" at the top of the board.
2. Put your story title in the "Message Subject" (example: "The Conversation" by Kwantel Bates
3. Introduce your story in a few sentences in "Type your message here:" (example: Here is a short story that I wrote. It takes place just before (blank). It is about (blank).)
4. Post this message.
5. THEN, *reply to your own message*. In the "Message subject", put "The Conversation, Part 1" If the story has adult material, put "The Conversation, Part 1", (adult material), or another appropriate warning.
6. In "Type your message here", type or paste part 1 of your story.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for any following parts of your story.

I strongly recommend that you type your story first in the Windows program "Notepad", or another similar (simple) text editor. Then you can just cut and paste it into the MB, and you will have a copy if something goes wrong with the post. (Word processing programs such as MS "Word" are troublesome because they introduce undesired formatting.) Keep story parts short, because the board will refuse to post overy long messages.

I hope that this is helpful. Good luck!

To Susan;


I apologize for the inappropritate content in my stories. I want you to delete all of my stories whether the content is inappropriate or not. Thank you for being polite about it. I have other stories with adult content ("False Positive" and "A Woman Scorned") and language ("A Woman Scorned")in it.

I didn't read the post on 8/24 and wrote other stories. I would have stopped writing if I read it. I wasn't trying to be a nuisance. I won't write any more. There's alot of errors in them I didn't catch because the stories were long. Writing is frustrating so I'm bailing.

Thanks for the recommended sites to write on. I'm only going to be a viewer, not a writer. It's a long process. It's hard. Frustrating. I was bored over the weekend and just started writing but didn't read your disclaimer. Sorry. Once again, I apologize. Thanks for your courtesy and patience in the situation.


Kwantel Bates
