Once again, lost against AO3

[wiseheart]

I don't know how other people manage to post their stuff to the dratted archive. I simply can't. There was a time when I could copy & past my one-shots from FF.Net, but FF.Net has blocked that possibility, and when I try doing the same from a word document, the site strips all the formatting from the document, including the line breaks.

Now, I really, really don't have the time to reformat every single piece to be able to post it to AO3. Meaning that I'll have to give up on the idea of posting to the archive. Which is annoying, because most people go there to read, and being restricted to FF.Net - the only multifandom archive I can actually use - my chances to gain new readers are like null.

I HATE, HATE, HATE TECHNOLOGY!!! Why must they always change anything? Why is nothing really compatible with anything else in these days?

The word doc problem is odd. You could open a support ticket, but the answers aren't always as clear as they could be ;)

Importing from LJ is easy, if any of the stories are on your LJ sites too.

Thanks! A lot of my stuff is on various LJ comms, so that might work out - if the instructions aren't too complicated. I'm not very good with those, unless someone sits down with me, leads me through the steps and looks over my shoulder the first few times. After that, I can go on infinitely. *g*

When you click Post New Work, the page that opens has the import button right at the top.

Click it and look it over. If you have questions, I'm around for a while & can try to answer. If it's something you want to save for another time & have question then, just send me a PM or something :)

Thanks, I'll give it a try when I feel more courageous. :)
