Hi might as well reply and introduce myself.
MY name is Pete,a Brit agnostic and I love this site. I suffer severe depression and reading this site can have me in stitches- it works better than meds and everything else combined!
Having said that, at the same time fundamentalism scares the crap out of me, as well as also making me very sad for its victims, both the fundie and anyone the focus of their ignorance.
I'd like to write opinion pieces. I'm informed and a good writer.

Alright, you guys have me sold. I'm going to rig up some of my new toys and get cracking on this at some point this weekend. If you've got something, and no, I really don't have any guidelines, if it's related to fundies, religion, atheism, secularism, or even just intelligent/funny and you happen to be here, feel free to send it to fstdt@fstdt.net.
I've got some work a head of me, but here's some basic requirements in addition: Title for the article Author to credit Original Posting location online if existant The article, preferably in rtf or txt format. If that makes no sense, send me a copy of what you have, I'll find a way to open it.
Let me know any special instructions in handling or category requests. I may resort to a tagging system, but that's completely up in the air atm.

Yep. I might as well put all my bitching, complaining and ranting to good use.

I might be willing to do something during the week. Just tell me when it is ready.

Distind, one serious question that I would like answered please. I would be submitting in .txt format and would like to know if I can use the standard board/mainpage tags to alter text, insert images, etc.
It really would help to know if bolding, text size, image insertion, and the other "normal" tags for this site are going to work on our opinion pieces.
I'm working on one now...so far I have assumed tags will work, if they will not I would like to know because it means some editing before I submit it.

I can make them work certainly, I'll most likely wind up using the same set on the mainpage, which is almost identical to what's here. Only no size tag, because I despise the size tag.

I was only useing the size tag with the Title of the article, not anywhere in the body of the article. I can easily live without that if you hate it so much, the title really doesn't have to be bigger than the remainder of the text.

I can easily live without that if you hate it so much, the title really doesn't have to be bigger than the remainder of the text. I'll mark the title definitely, but I'm going to style it consistently across articles. So short of tags intended to highlight a portion of the title don't worry about it.

I'm not going to commit to anything, but if a topical issue surfaces that inspires something more in-depth than a forum post I'd be up for submitting a column.
