Plain text tutorial
Starting from this round, we're asking that all stories be submitted in plain text format. Plain text means that the text is saved without any formatting, which means you must abide by our guidelines to include HTML tags for any italicized, bolded or underlined text.
The easiest way to save your story as a plain text file is to write it in Windows Notepad or Mac OS X TextEdit and save as .txt file. If you prefer to use a word processor like Microsoft Word, at the Save As dialog box, choose the option that says "Plain text (.txt)" or "Text only with line breaks (.txt)" from the Format menu. Another option is to use Google Docs to write your story and go to File > Download file as... > Text to generate the file.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need further clarification.
