Author has written 63 stories for General, General, Love, Life, Horror, Humor, Sci-Fi, Friendship, and Humor. At some point during the last year, Fictionpress killed the formatting on all of my submissions. I remember having to work to force it to accept stanza breaks in the poetry by using some uncommon symbol, which I guess they started filtering for. I have no idea why the site is so opposed to the idea of stanzas. Anyway, if my work here looks like it runs on without tact, that's why. -November 2012 | |||||||
