Coolmint Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Coolmint stumbling around here. (It looks like a nice forum with lovely people but not used to the format!) Longtime reader and writer of SF/F….I was in a band once but that's a long story. Frivolous sort, easily distracted by shiny objects. If I'm being blunt, I also came for the fountain pens! Gotta run for now. How do I make the post font bigger? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on desktop there should be a size option in the toolbar. There's a BBCode shortcut for mobile, but I've forgotten it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Stormy she/her Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 And you can get a rank/member title (different names for the same thing) by going to Edit Profile and changing your rank. For an example of what a rank is, mine is about Kaladin and thestrals. What books have you read? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolmint Posted July 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Uh-oh. Since many of you on this forum write (and very well, from what I've seen), I thought I should mention this incident. Yesterday I got a phone message from someone who said she wanted to re-publish my 2003 chapbook. The recording was from a person with such a heavy accent, and the background chatter (from the call center) so overwhelming, I had to play the recording three times to understand what she was saying, or the name of the 'company.' And it was a lonnnng message. The caller said my book was also connected with another company I had never heard of, much less signed up with. The caller went on and on and on about this 'opportunity.' They must be desperate and phoning anyone who ever published anything. The press that published my chapbook is defunct. And I sold maybe three of them (mainly by begging friends and family). Scam alert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
