| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

My computer's a little sketchy, so for the most part I've been writing my posts on Microsoft Word. Unfortunately, every time I use an apostrophe, quotation mark, or ellipsis, it turns into something like this: Apostrophe: ‘ Ellipsis: … Quotation mark: “ I've been editing them in the response box, but that's a pain for longer posts or short stories. Is there an easy way to fix this or will I need to download a new program or something? I've been using Microsoft Word 2010. |

This happens to me. But lemme ask you, you notice this when you hit preview right? Before you post? Because for me, when I actually hit reply, the correct punctuation shows up (I used to think I had to edit all the weird symbols out too). |

Yeah, I get this in "Preview Post" boxes but not in the final posts. I have absolutely no idea why it happens. |

I've had it happen in posts before, but it seems on-and-off. It never works in previews, though. |

For Office 2010 just do the following: File>Options>Proofing>Auto correct Options> Then from there you can see how word changes quotations and such to "smart quotes" I had this issue as well. You just disable the ones you don't want. I hope this helps you fix it. |
