Star Voter Season 7

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Well...don't really know what to say about this. Oddly enough when I decided to log in today and vote...what do you know...my item was actually in the first pairing. I'm still wondering if that was an oddly designed trick?

Anyway, I was disappointed to see the formatting changed in my description section. On submission it had a couple of small paragraph breakups, however, on screen it showed as one block of text. I guess I'm just hoping people won't roll their eyes at a text block. Oh well. Best of luck to everyone...as a first time entrant and voter I must say it's an enjoyable process to read through everyone's submissions...even if a fair amount leave me shaking my head heh.

Thank you for the fun, Paizo.

The coding for the forum boards take out extra spaces. It should not hurt your chances :)

That's also why you should Preview your item before hitting Submit Item--so you can check how your item will look to voters, and adjust it accordingly.

It depends. If you have automatic spacing between paragraphs in your word processor, that won't carry into the BBC box. You have to manually add spaces (which looks like triple spacing in Word, for example).


You can go here to find your basic coding tags use for HTML coding.


Here is another site with more tags you can check out. Hope these links help.

As a side note, if you plan on doing much writing, you are going to want to know how to disable that automatic spacing and such, most (but not all) publications still prefer standard paragraph format (no space between paragraphs and indent the first word).
