I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'll try, ita !. It's one of my laundry lists that I've been avoiding because every time I go back into an LJ post, the formatting immediately goes wonky. Everything already goes center justified the second I put in an LJ cut, and on edit, when I go back in after a new post is ready, I'll get that or else suddenly be faced with everything being suddenly left justified with three inches to spare and have go through line by line.

Ooh, about to lose power as they get the tree off my line!

ita ! Feel free to give advice/feedback/concrit anytime! I'll whine at you, but it's appreciated! *freaks out over latest unposted chapter*

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Is anyone else having lj problems like this? I mean, I catch that I wrote decent instead of descent, and have to reformat the whole thing because it's turned into a block of text or because it decided to center justify everything when I hit lj-cut. Which doesn't sound that bad until it's me re-entering into the post one or two or three times to fix a double period, change a single word, add a link, and every time the formatting is f***ed.

Sorry, is this Natter, Tech, Fic? I just don't know why LJ is giving me such trouble.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

You guys see all the interviews and videos and so on before I do, and this is old so you've probably read it already but just in case: there's a lj user named tightropegirl (real world name Doris Egan), who if her lj is accurate has been a writer for Dark Angel, Smallville, and Tru Calling, among other shows. She's a big JA fan, and here she wrote about how when she wrote the "Pollo Loco" episode of Dark Angel they were having difficulty casting the character until JA walked in, and she was blown away by his reading. After that she wanted him for roles she created on Smallville and on Tru Calling (and there was even a character named Jensen on Tru Calling.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I have read that before, and I'm not sure it was linked here. Always worth reading again, thanks!

I love (hate) the part where the producer made him gain weight because of his preconcieved opinions.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Juliebird, are you using the Rich Text Editor? I've heard that tends to add all kinds of ferwonkedness to posts.

Ooh! Thank you for that link, Morgana!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I am, Anne, because I'm copying and pasting from Google docs into LJ. And I wasn't getting these problems before the attack on LJ. I can't deal with html on a good day, let alone on two thousand words in a tiny little box with html tags. I dunno, that seems even more frustrating. How do you input a story into LJ that isn't actually typed there to begin with?

I usually do all my html coding within the document itself. It's a lot easier to see what I'm doing. Also, if I have to correct the coding/typos, I'll go back to the document and make the fix. Then, I'll re-paste the whole thing.

Thanks, Anne.

I just wish I had an easier fix to suggest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Julie, I'd recommend running your stories through spellcheck. I noticed a few typos in there.

As for other comments, I don't know how it will work out when you read the entire chapters together, but the fragments seem a little unbalanced re: mystery/romance. This last one was a lot of infodump, for instance, with very little personal stuff, either D/C or Sam. Just a note.

Still enjoying it!
