I write the story in MS Word, not least because it has the advantage of spell-checking, and copy it on forum later.
I take screenshots using a program called "Howie's Quick Screen Capture Tool" (download here - it is in the "Misc Software" section) which already saves the pictures in .jpg format.
Instead of notes I, like MAA does, take screenshots of everything I want to remember later.
In heavily graphic AARs (the Pahlavan and Pontic one) I have used MS PowerPoint to create the slides, which I then saved as .jpg pictures to be posted. In my current Baktrian AAR I make only a few pictures, so I use Photoshop to edit my screenshots.
Another good picture-hosting site is https://www.photobucket.com/.
Have a good luck in your writing and beware: creating an AAR story takes usually twice and more the time than to actually play the game which it describes. Have a lot of endurance too!![]()
