Some great new links in the Writing Resources - Writing Descriptions section, on alternatives to descriptions like "shrug" or "frown" or "sigh." (Bane of my existence, all three.) Plus link to the masterlist of words like that!

Does anybody have contact with Starfur373? She removed her fics. I was hoping to find a copy of one of my faves. Taking a suggestion given to try and message her on other platforms.

The newest improvement is that if you use styles, it automatically generates sort of a table of contents in a tab on the left, so if you have chapter heads you can slide left and click on a chapter to jump there, instead of having to scroll down through the whole body of the work.

The only thing it doesn't do that Word does (at least as far as I've found and been frustrated by) is tables. I'm a big lover of tables. Doesn't come up much in fic, thank god. They keep improving its functionality, tho', so who knows, maybe I'll get my tables someday.

@subversivegrrl, I am betaing from gd now for Annie. It's great. But I don't have a lot of experience writing in it myself. I may have to change that.

I just use Google Docs. Makes it easy to share documents with a beta reader and let them comment.

Just a tip for writers. If you don't have Word, you can use wordcounter.net for free. It has all the same basic editing functions.

It was on the list to do if needed. We were hoping to get it sorted out before now.

@subversivegrrl, I thought it might be, but I also thought it might be a good idea to let everyone know if they didn't already. Thanks for working on things!

We're seeing a number of issues. We don't know which are connected to the software and which to Bluehost's migration Thursday night/Friday morning. Sorry.

is that why the prompt part isn't working? I keep having this itchy little thought for a McReedus story and can't get it out there.

It looks like our hosting service was doing some maintenance-y stuff last night and temporarily broke the site. Sorry for the scare! If you're still having issues getting in... well, if you're still having issues getting in you won't see this.

Give me an example of what you're looking for and I'll see if I can duplicate it?

I am having issues with the advanced search function. Is anybody else getting results they were NOT searching for? It errors out, then came back up with odd results.

You're probably more on point than I. To me the reach for the item indicates he had it for a while (was used to using it) and tool use would have provoked memory--Dog is cleared of "stink" becos living critters aren't totems to me.

She offered to return it at the end of that episode--he refuses it (rejects Leah residue/I know where I belong?) Lovely words from your hubby truly, however I would have hammered it to snuff--did I ever mention I was reared with some superstitious logic? Your sweetie is a keeper!

But I think Daryl just gave it to her as a practical matter as she needed it at the moment. And it was also a cheap plot set-up for him to be without it later.

Depends on the meaning of the re-gift. My husband-to-be once gave me a watch given to him by his ex-fiancé that he’d carried around to remind him “not to be stupid about women†and said essentially, “I don’t need this anymore now that I’ve found you.â€

miz LovesDD, Daryl giving Carol the knife is not fan fic. All signs point to the knife being Leah's. She tried to return at the end of Diverged and Daryl says no you keep it although indications he had knife a while (reached for it a couple of times).
