Haven't tried much, and those attempts I've made have shown that it doesn't like me. When I have some more time, I'll deal with it a little more; in the meantime, I'll just keep on keeping on.

Ah, okay, just curious ^^

I haven't, as well. How do you do it?

Minding that it's 2 pages long, the optimal length for it would be -6 pages, in your opinion?

Also, suddenly I like the iron cage idea...

Kinda like that O.o

For me, it just entered on its 7th page. It's all about the number of posts per page that you set.

Thats pyramid quoting(assuming i understood you correctly) not multi quoting and thse forums seem to have an anti pyramid quotes code implemented in to the quote function.
So if you want to make a pyramid quote, just multi quote the original post and the one quoting it and then just cut&paste the first quote inside the second quote tags.

Big books usually have dead-tree format along with the digital one.
Only the shorter ones are digital format only.

But, also take it from someone who's also doing a minor bit of writing for the book. (I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to submit for, but... Missions, Convention work, and my day job really put a crimp on my available free time)

I need to get off my duff and get an invite back to the freelancers hub. Two submissions anded like lead balloons and I got seduced into another game while drowning my sorrows in diet cola. Diet, man! There's been a whole change of bodies out there since my last toe-dip in and I think I've got my confidence back enough to start hittng the ol' word processor again.

Now I just need to see if I can find the contact info again. Ugh.

Firefox, tabs, plus copy and paste. The middle mouseclick/control+leftclick trick is handy for this.

But that's mostly because i like being able to type out a response to each quote, and doing a ginormous post in one window involves scrolling up and down to see the whole picture.

He was AH's pet character, who conveniently knew about everything due to his tragic history as a chicago survivor / mafia runner/ mercenary/ knight errant patrollman/ adept /shadowrunner. I wish I was making this up.

Be nice.

There were a LOT of character choices for this book, and only so much space. And when it was solicited, there wasn't a hard list of "THese characters MUST be in the book". It was solicited as "Which characters are you interested in writing?". The list is also not all runners. It's a mix of runners, fixers, corp big wigs, etc. Power Players in the Shadows, characters that can and do effect things. But they're not all Shadowrunners.

And as a note, while I'm tickled pink Bull is in the book, and I had a blast writing him up (And trying to find ways to make some of his more... outlandish history "fit" within canon Shadowrun), I didn't even submit a proposal for him. I had said he'd be fun to do, but I wasn't sure I'd have the time to do him up. But Jason sent me an email saying "Here's a contract, write him up!"

Fastjack should be in there. But... Fastjack is daunting. I'd be terrified to tackle him. Same goes with a fair number of runners out there.

That said, everyone knows there are missing some major names. And there's been a fair bit of discussion about ways to do more characters.

I have been obligated to do many things over the course of my life be nice has never made the list, tell the truth however got preached a lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm old enough to know know that some truths are subjective, this one in particular I just call it like I see it.

OK, I can get behind FastJack not being in the book. This guy specifically has a hobby of erasing his entire history (Right beside Tai Chi and proving he's the best 70+ Year Old Hacker/Decker/Hacker on the planet!), so trying to do any kind of write-up on him would only be done from his own personal point of view, which would be suspect at best. That said, he'd probably be better suited for spandex than Bull for sure.

But, Kellan Colt? Really? I was thinking it was best to forget that time?

If you were Fastjack -- paranoid and canny as he's been shown to be, for the last 20+ years -- would you host a file about your background and abilities for your JackPoint buddies to read?
