I do nothing of merit. On occasion, I give the impression of being creative, but this is a deception. I am merely derivative in clever ways.

    Dropping in to try and find some art

    So my hard drive bricked back in the fall, and I finally replaced my computer with the stimulus money. But I don't really have a good way to try and recover the stuff that was on there, so that sucks.

    But, I was hoping for some help in finding one particular bit of pony art that I haven't been able to dig up again since then.

    Welp, that's just... everything fucked, I guess

    So back around June 20, I wrecked my car.

    Then back on August 28, the tires on my wife's car got torn up hitting something on the road, and we wound up needing all new tires.

    I don't think my cat likes my work

    So it's been a struggle to write anything, for various reasons, but I *was* trying to get back onto Legacy Ch 4 not long ago.

    Then today I was sitting at the table and started hearing faint tearing noises from behind me. I turned around and discovered that somehow my rough draft had wound up on the floor and the cat had done this:

    Random Encounter

    This was a fun moment. Choppy cause I had to remove a bunch of game speech commands and the usual bit of racist shit-talking.

    Also this was before I found out Scribbler did another reading of my stuff. I would have probably said that instead of RCL.

So, I was reading back through Smile because I'm really not sure where my head was at when I wrote that one, and sometimes I like to go back and try to figure that out.

And I finally noticed that when I uploaded it from Google Docs, it included some of the comments people had made on it down at the bottom.

Now I'm gonna have to go back through all of my fics and see if it did that anywhere else...

Yeah, that happen sometimes. If you use the upload option, I highly recommend resolving all the comments before doing so. If that's not an option, you can always make a copy of the chapter in question and upload that.

Derp :facehoof:

On the plus side, I poked my head in, saw the comments, and have the suspicion that this is my kind of story. I missed it coming out, so...

I had that burn me once too. Like q97 said, resolve comments. Also, never have multi-paragraph italics if you use upload. Fimfiction treats empty italics like a null space and you don't get the spacing between paragraphs. Same thing with centers, bolds, underlines... well... you get the idea.

I follow those rules and haven't had any trouble myself with the upload feature since I learned them.

I learned the multi-line italics one when I uploaded Hot Coffee. I had to go back and fix every line of the flashbacks by hand.

And when I used bold for emphasis within those sections, it removed italics, applied bold, reapplied italics, and then reversed it all afterwards, so I got to fix all of those, too.
