Everyone makes mistakes, right?

Perfection is dull...lacks inspiration. Only when there are flaws can true beauty be found~

That's so cute!

Anyway, I'm about to submit MoP but I'm kinda stumped. Should I write anything in the body of the email like a cover letter? This is what Tor.com stated:

How to submit: Don’t query us, just send your story. Submissions should be emailed to (tordotcomsubs)(at)(gmail.com). Stories should be in something approximating standard manuscript format and be sent as *.doc (not docx), *.rtf, or plain-text attachments. They should not be sent as text in the body of the email. If you get that part right, we don’t care all that much about the particulars of your formatting—just use common sense. We don’t care about the content of your cover letter, either. Putting the string “SUB:” at the start of your subject line will help us know that you’ve read this, which is quite confidence inspiring.

Should I write something down still? It would be weird just to send a blank email with my story attached.

Oh, another quick question: I'm almost down with Ch. 6 but it's quite long. Would you guys mind if I posted half of the chapter up now and post the rest later?

Heya Riki~

Are you still teacher or is this writing thing I've seen scattered across a few threads taking over? =D

It's been a while.

Re: It probably takes rocks and ga-gongs people with them!

Hey, Haze! How are you?

Yes, I'm still a teacher though I'm still waiting for my teaching license to be mailed to me. >.> The writing is just for fun. ^^

I would advise you to write just a few lines....in which you introduce your submission; don't make it too pompous or formal. Be clear and concise---that will be the perfect cover letter for them...

I assume that they're primarily interested in the submission. Besides, I guess they won't waste their time in reading a pretentious cover letter...Time is money, nowadays.....and money make the world go round!

Yeah, I was just thinking of writing an introduction and an one sentence synopsis. I think that would work.

Thanks Ancy

I agree with Ancy^^ I think it's important for you to write something in the mail's body, but nothing something long or too fancy. Maybe just a default message communicating them you're sending the story.

And I don't mind if you only post half of the chapter now^^

 

[riki]

Re: It probably takes rocks and ga-gongs people with them!

Thanks for your advice!

I sent the email and just wrote a quick introduction and short synopsis of the story. Now is the waiting game. *nervous*

LOL The first part has been already posted so you can enjoy it. I have two sections left and I'll probably finish it today or tomorrow.

Re: It probably takes rocks and ga-gongs people with them!

Cool *-*
Gotta print the third part^^ I'm thinking about printing it all at once, LOL. I saw a consultant that printed 80 pages there D: No one said nothing.

Hope they'll love it! Hope you can get a book *-* ZOMG
Share the news^^

Re: It probably takes rocks and ga-gongs people with them!

LOL Tell me how much pages you print out

Thanks. Hopefully it will be good enough D:

So I was walking my dog just now and I just got an inspiration for another short story. ^^

LOL I always get story ideas at nighttime.
