I think I posted the story OK - received message that the moderators had received it.
Am a little concerned that the body of the story might not have been placed under the LJ cut though, because my internet connection is currently set at such a slow speed (not by choice!)that pages download slowly & I can only upload in text with HTML not RTF. Sorry if it wasn't the correct HTML code for the cut. (The preview feature doesn't actually display whether it's under the cut or not)
