Once upon a time, we posted title, word count, and genre in the subject line.

Once upon a time, I drank a little wine, was as happy as could be . . .

But we can still post title and word count.

Well, when I want to do any of those things, I can just use the internet.

PS: In all serious, I thought that was standard protocol?

Was it GOOD wine? And what about those of us who prefer a good microbrew? Some of us are old enough to remember when there were only 3 major networks, and when it was a thrill to see a commercial, because you could see the NBC peacock in COLOR!!!

I'm still a shade too young to remember Howdy Doody first run... but me and Moose and Squirrel were regular Saturday buddies.

To return to the topic, for our newer members... when posting a fragment in the F&F section, post:

Word Count: xxxx words
Genre: fantasy? sci-fi? non-fiction? young adult? what?
Intention: ie, Looking for readers, want to know if the first 13 flows? In other words, what do you want out of us?

Wine gives me headaches that don't require waiting until the next morning for the hangover.
