Not a story (yet), but a question...

Could always store the story as text file on your computer and backup any screenshot you have used :)
that way you can repost the story on new forums when they arrive should it not transfer automatically

I've backed up and paused my stories for now and everything that comes after March 12 (storywise)
will just live on my computer until new forums arrive

here is a quick example of how I have mine backed up/saved on my computer

each post has its own folder

pictures are numbered so if one picture has broken link
I know which one it is and am able to reupload the picture and replace the link

the text file is as it is at forums formatting and all
but bbcode doesn't work on new forum
so I will have to redo it once the new forum rolls out

I've been thinking about this and I have an idea that I may try. Maybe others will find it useful? I already make copies of all my chapters before I ever post them here. I make two copies, one that stays on my computer, the other goes on an external hard drive.

So what I was thinking to keep posting and not have such a long layoff, every time I get ready to add the image code to the text, grab both codes. Put the BBCode in one document that will end up here, and the HTML code, or whatever the new forum will be, and put it in another copy of that same text. That the way when the new forum launches it's just a copy and paste mission to put back all the chapters that I write after March 12th.

It's a bit of extra work but for me I don't think I can last another five months without posting new chapter of Tartosan Sun. It's already been two or three and it's beginning to get to me.?
