All of the Bold Ones are up, A couple of these were uploaded By Fyron and Atrocities. Most by myself.

I would Like to thank Everyone who posted here and helped compile these stories, Fyron especially for allowing them to be placed on Spacempires.net and i just thought i'd thank all the Authors, everyone who is included above or helped write one of those stories (if i listed everyone we'd be here all day on some http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif But you know who you are and should be proud of your efforts)

And thanks for the great time i had doing this. The compiling was tedious at times but once they were up and i could reread them it was worth it (the rest will be up soon i am hoping) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Here's to many More stories for SEIV and the future Space Empires Series in the future http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Permission is hereby granted for all my past, present and future xenology submissions. You'll have to ask UE for his though.

You can also have my chapters of the recent "lifeboat" story if you like. I was kind of hoping others would jump in on that project, but apart from Geo's chapter, no one has.

You can also take anything else from my own ficiton site (O&C, courier, TT, WFF), as long as you provide lots of prominent links back to http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Open permission from me as well.

I wasn't too sure on uploading yours as i didn't want to take traffic from your site. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I'll Maybe post a piece with little snippets of your fiction and then a big link at the bottom of the page http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif I'll PM Unknown Enemy for his permission as well.

As for the "Lifeboat" I never got round to reading that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I'll do a search for it now and maybe post something, No promises though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

And thanks Sachmo, I'll make sure Rise of the Remorhaz is updated to each current chapter http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

We should all get together and make a book.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Get the stories copyrighted and get an agent. Yep, *authers need agents too now.

* No, I don't have direct experience. But I've read a new auther help site written by authers.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Maybe you could rip the code from the quote-o-matic and use it as a banner..? That would be cool.

:EDIT: I think the following code ought to do it. Probably. More or less. Ish.
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">include the following statement INSIDE you body tag: onLoad=&quot;quote_from_dogscoff();&quot; - not sure what to do if you already use your onLoad.

Then put the following just after the body tag:

&lt;script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; SRC=&quot;http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/extern.js&...lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; SRC=&quot;http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/ge...lt;/script&gt;

function quote_from_dogscoff()
{ // grabs a random file from dogscoff's quote-o-matic and dumps it to the frame with the ID &quot;quote-o-matic&quot;.
var quote_frame=getElementById(&quot;quote-o-matic&quot;);
var quote_count=Get_var('sci_fi_quote_count',0);
var stem=&quot;http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/quotes/fic&quot;;
var file_extension=&quot;.htm&quot;;
quote_frame.location.href=stem+getindex(quote_coun t)+file_extension;
}



Now create a frame in your page (an Iframe might be easiest) and give it the ID &quot;quote-o-matic&quot;. Frame must be exactly 100 pixels high and at least a few hundred wide.


Add the following lines to your stylesheet (although I dont mind you changing the details &amp; image to suit your own page) :

body.quote{background-image: url(http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/im...iquoteleft.jpg); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff; background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left; font-size: 80%; color: #0A0A0A;}

p.quote{font-style: italic;}
a.quote{color: #56D9E1;}
strong{font-size: 120%; color: #0A0A0A; font-style: normal;}

#quotetext {left: 100px; position: absolute; font-style: italic;} </pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">
