Hey there. Welcome to Shifti. --[[User:JonBuck|Buck]] 16:11, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

:Charles, please review the [[Help:Posting_stories|Posting Stories]] page. Wiki-style posting is quirky. --[[User:JonBuck|Buck]] 16:25, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Don't forget the 'User:' bit when putting in pages that are sub-pages of your user page, Matthias. I've fixed it up for you already, that's just for future reference. — [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 16:14, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Okay, how do I fix a page that I created but then the location was changed. Can I just change the location of a page? And what am I supposed to do when a page I'm trying to create has been edit locked? [[User:MatthiasRat|MatthiasRat]] 16:26, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
:Charles, don't worry about the errors. We'll fix it. :) --[[User:JonBuck|Buck]] 16:28, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

:: Good! Thank you! I like to think I'm technically competent at this sort of thing! Now if you could get LaTeX working, that'd be really cool. ;-) [[User:MatthiasRat|MatthiasRat]] 16:32, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

::: Hrm... I'll look into it. It is my server, after all. :P — [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 16:33, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
::: Okay, seems like MediaWiki doesn't come with everything needed to support TeX. Installing. — [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 16:44, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

::::: Awww! If you can makeit work, great! If not, I'll survive! We Rat/Trike's are a hardy breed! [[User:MatthiasRat|MatthiasRat]] 16:45, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

:::::: Done. Just had to really study the available documentation to get the settings correct. — [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 17:35, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Hey, just wanted to say thank you both for the welcome and for the help! Eventually I won't feel like a complete klutz! Thank you, Jon, and thank you, Shadow! :-) [[User:MatthiasRat|MatthiasRat]] 16:46, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

: It's all part of the attempt to make Shifti a great place to post stories and read them! — [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 17:35, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

:: Quick question then. Why is it when I click the 'Stories By Author' link, my name doesn't show up? Oh, you guys are doing a great job by the way. :-) [[User:MatthiasRat|MatthiasRat]] 17:42, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

::: I'll fix that. When you add a story you should add <nowiki>[[Category:MatthiasRat]]</nowiki> to it. It'll show up at the bottom of the page. Click on that and add <nowiki>[[Category:Stories by author]]</nowiki> to the resulting page. But I'll fix things for you :) — [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 17:50, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

::: There, all fixed. And I've done some janitorial organization—adding categories, default-sort tags and the series box to "A Long Forgotten Madness". — [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 18:14, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Did a bit of janitorial work myself, hope you don't mind. Welcome aboard! :) [[User:Bryan|Bryan]] 21:35, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

: Thank you, Bryan! It's great to finally have had some time to post stories here! My non MK stuff needs a good home too! :-) And big thanks for listing An Unexpected Stop as a favourite! I still love that story (and the irony is that I live in Pittsburgh now and think its a lovely city!) [[User:MatthiasRat|MatthiasRat]] 00:10, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

==Template:My stories==

Hi, just thought I should drop a note here since I imagine most authors won't be regularly checking [[Help:Templates]] for updates. I've finally added a template that I should have created long ago, a tag to put on userpages to facilitate linking to your personal story category; [[Template:My stories]]. If you want (it's entirely optional), just stick this code at the top of your userpage to create a standardized little box with a direct link in it: <nowiki>{{my stories}}</nowiki>.

==Metamor Keep==
About the Marzac storyline:
will the "Tales of Sand and Ice" be put on the official page? Also, is this underworld different from the hell described in other works (ie freezing over)?

:Tales of Sand and Ice is but the first book in the 'Last Tale of Yajakali'. None of it will be posted on the archive until it has been completed. Further, Cubist is interested in publishing each book in printed form eventually.
:As for the Underworld, it is not the same place as the Hell described in other works. Whether an exact definition of what it is will ever end up in Metamor or not is uncertain. It depends on how philosophical/theological I feel like getting. But I certainly won't say until after I've written the story!
:Thanks for your interest! --[[User:MatthiasRat|MatthiasRat]] 12:10, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Thank you for the response. Do the daedra/gods have any influence over this Underworld? The gods seem to be opposing it...
:The daedra/gods keep their distance from Marzac, which is the opening to the Underworld. The gods want the passage there closed, and will aid those mortals going to stop it, but will not venture there themselves for fear of what the evil may try to do through their power. The daedra will stay out of the way because the Underworld means bad things for them too! --[[User:71.61.46.181|71.61.46.181]] 17:05, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
