When I myself
try
sending feedback via the ASSTR form, the CAPTCHA is completely blank --
not even a box. I'm using Chrome (on Windows XP -- it still works
great!). Any ideas on why this is? It does work when I use Microsoft's
Internet Explorer, but I don't want my readers to have to do that!
In case anyone else has trouble with CAPTCHA, you can reach me via my
email at sterling27@live.com.
How
do stories come to readers' attention in practice? I gather there
are different methods of accessing them. I'm aware of the "Most Recent"
list on the home page. What else? How do I get the attention of readers
who might want to see my work, while still being a good citizen?
If you're curious why some of my multi-file stories are divided
into "chapters" and others into "parts", I use "chapter" to refer to
the chapters I had in mind when I wrote the story. When stories are
under 80K or so, I will post them as a single html file, even if they
have multipel chapters. "Parts" are
divisions I am adding as I move them to the web versions to make them
reasonable-sized chunks. "Parts" might sometimes contain multiple
"Chapters" if the chapters were short.
My
first impulse is to not restrict access via "". If I think the
stories are good, why not let search engines find them? I know Google
sometimes returns my plain text stories among its results.
