I can understand people who don't want to read blogs. I don't want to read email lists. What I don't get is people complaining that fic they don't want to see shouldn't be posted. Bugger off, you. You know who you are.

Much as my sundry Email Issues will continue to keep me staving off the feedback-mail, I'm apparently becoming a feedback whore when it comes to LJ comments. You're reading what I wrote? You, the one here, not the other you I was talking to before? Love ya.

I like watching tidbits of other authors' writing processes. It's probably my favourite thing about blogs, even more than being able to write and get comments without resorting to e-mail. Not that it constitutes a writers' workshop, exactly, but there are similar benefits, and more fun.

Sigh. Somebody help the poor befuddled LJ newbie out and tell me how to get something to show up just on the comment view, with a link from the journal page? Got it -- thanks, Val!

[lj-cut text="whatever you want the link to say"]

[/lj-cut] to end the cut.

Except with pointy brackets instead of square ones.

Thanks!

So where was I supposed to find that, anyway?

No problem :)

It's kind of buried in the FAQ pages. lj specific tags.

Pointy brackets

Also? I would like to present you with a plaque. Engraved on it is 'WORD" in curly cursive script. There are etchings of Clark and Lex around the edge, and at the bottom it says "Presented this day to Jackbugger by Wileykit, for being great and saying everything I wanted to say about the stupid LJ debate."

That is all.

In case anyone ever wonders why I love wiley -- unlikely, but possible -- I'll point them here.

Oh yes... this is always a good one. People who spout forth opinions like this give me hives, they really do.

And yet if challenged, the same people invariably claim to oppose censorship.
