Need help? I'm happy to help but you can save yourself some time if you read this checklist first:
- Uploading a story, formatting or emailing it to yourself? First, please read the notes at the top of the upload form! And the Text Upload Help page can be very helpful too. Then also check the Help and FAQ pages, often you'll find the answer you need either on the upload form itself or in the help and faq pages.
- Archive downtime or changes? Read the NEWS website, general info, announcements, downtime are all posted there.
- Blank story pages? There have been a couple complaints of blank story pages but I've checked thoroughly, the story pages do exist and are not blank. It looks like this problem is at the user's computer, the stories reported as blank were large files and the users likely didn't have enough memory available to display the full webpage.
- Looking for a story? Use the Advanced Search or join the TS Storyfinders list and ask for help there. Google can also help, search for the author's name or part of the name and/or the title or part of a title and adding words like "sentinel" or "blair" may help narrow the results.
- SXF or TLAD lists? Want to change your subscribed email address on those lists? Please contact the listowners at SXF-owner@populli.org and TLAD-owner@yahoogroups.com. While I do host the SXF list on my server along with the archive, I'm not the listowner and it's best to contact them directly.
- New stories? I don't write them and I don't upload them - the best way to get new stories is to send good feedback to your favorite authors, that might spur them to write something new! Tell them you read their stories at 852 Prospect so they'll be sure to upload new stories here too.
- Authors, need your email address changed? or your story removed? Please, please give details, title of the story and the url is the most important thing. I can't edit your stories so if you need to make a change, I can delete your story and then you can upload a revised version.
- Earthlink email address? Using a spam challenge service like SpamArrest? You must whitelist all mail from 852prospect.org! You're asking me to reply to you, please don't make me jump thru hoops to "prove" I'm a not a spammer!
- Hey! One more thing! Please send plain text email - while html email may be very pretty, it can be very difficult for me to read (yellow text on a hot pink background gives me a migraine, literally and yes, I've actually received email like that). So please give me just the facts in nice black and white. The Configuring Mail Clients to Send Plain ASCII Text website has helpful, detailed directions for sending plain text email for a multitude of email programs, ISP services (like AOL) and webmail services.
Ready to email me? Okay, email me!
