Silliness The Case Of The Desert Pirates - complete w/concordance - Page 2

Okay, so I've never done this before. Is there a description anywhere of the story, like a blurb or something as I see in the other uploads. Is Sir Ralph around and may he provide us with one?

If someone else has done this before, maybe it'd make more sense for them to do it?

ah, first time nerves eh ! all the more reason to jump in with both feet, next time you won't be scared.

either you can make up a short description yourself, or ask rse for one. the most important thing is the title you give your thread ; take a look how the others are named and follow that convention, otherwise it won't be properly indexed (you should use just Ralph Sir Edward for the thread title, not "sir sir rse".

). i imagine you could think of a pretty hilarious description yourself, it doesn't have to be very long.

another tip, attach the file using the paperclip icon, but DO NOT "insert attachment" with the attachment manager thingy afterwards.

This is tougher than making ePubs

Oh, and if RSE is around, what license is this work under?

zelda_pinwheel · 05-24-2009, 05:48 PM

i think he uses a cc licence, or directly to pd maybe... hm. but you can always ask him to clarify that later.

It's not anywhere exciting, just spending the week down in London with one of my brothers, visiting my uncle in Chelsea. Basically just winding down for a bit.

zelda_pinwheel · 05-24-2009, 06:35 PM

Greg Anos · 05-24-2009, 06:41 PM

Sorry, I was making a batch of Chili...(yum, yum!)

I'll go out and make the thread and Moejoe can attach the epub to in on the second post of the thread. OK, everybody, here we go.....
