calie15I ALMOST wrote a fic today lol. Made Lucy give me ideas, but yea it went nowhere. On the bright side I'm done with nomination banners.
Of course once I started posting my own I got annoyed that my fics aren't archived. I have a pretty decent tag selection. But tags are annoying still. Even when someone uses them appropriately. I'd much rather have a list of all my fics and a list of their chapters.
Then that makes me regret that I never did put PREVIOUS and NEXT links at the bottom of the chapters for my multi chapter fics. Because I hate reading someones fic and having to go back for the next chapter.
Then another thing annoyed me. When I first joined LJ I copied my fics from ff.net. Well the formatting was screwy, so LJ didn't take the return. So instead of their being a space between each paragraph there is nothing and it looks like a jumble of words almost. I HATE it. I could go back and try to re copy and paste and see if it takes, but I'm not sure. I do save my fics, but they are so old I'm not sure what copy I saved *sigh*.
So I think I will try to start a master fic list. As for the other issues...I don't know. Because once I start making Next and Previous links I have to look at the horrible formatting from my older fics. Because most of my multi-chapter fics are older fics.
But the nomination banners will be done tomorrow and I'm counting run off votes tomorrow. Unfortunately the awards banners will be waiting until next week most likely. They aren't done yet (I haven't counted run off votes either so don't know all the winners) and I have my stupid ten year reunion. As much as I'm dreading it I still bought a $128 dress. What was I thinking? But I loooove it. Chloe needs it in green.

Hope all's well with you and big kudos on the fic awards. It's clearly a HUGE job and all your hard work is definitely appreciated!
