About Pulppier
Pulppier is a media for writers who want to publish their texts online. Pulppier is also meant for mobile readers who may search texts by using a phone, laptop, tablet or an iPad.
Pulppier is a project in its testing phase. Reporting the bugs at info@pulppier.com will be much appreciated. It is a huge help if we know about the errors or bad usability. All feedback is welcome.
How to use Pulppier?
Finding texts is easy. On the front page there are lists of the most recent texts, and the texts that have been read most often. In addition, in the read section the reader may search the texts by writer, text type, genre and language. When you log in with your username, the front page will list the latest texts from the writers that you follow.
Anyone may search and read the texts but in order to publish a text or to comment, or to follow a writer, you need to get registered.

Publish a short story, serial story, poem
Publishing is pretty straight forward. Choose the text type, language and genre. You may add a genre that describes your literary work the best. Give a title to your story, also subtitle and story part number if you want to. You can add a cover image to your story by uploading it from your computer.
Then you can start to write. You can copy-paste your story to the editor (note: there's a button to Paste from Word). If you want to use HTML-formatting, you may do so. You may also use the plain text editor. In case you want to add images to the body of your text, click on the Image icon. If your image is already online, you may add the image URL. You can upload the images by clicking on the Browse Server button. On top left corner there will appear Upload link, click on that to choose an image from your computer, click on Upload, then Insert File (file browser top row). The preview image may look distorted, click OK and check the result.
