  I just really fee like posting an entry. I'm sorta going to vent out. :))

Even though this Summer is boring-WAY BORING as I almost so the same thing everyday. Being a night person I enjoy staying up late and waking up in the afternoon, but even that small bliss is being taken away now. Because of my driving lessons during Saturdays, I

It's summer already for you? Lucky. ^^ It sucks to hear about your friends situation, but also good to know that you've told yourself you're not going to be going back to that. I'm lucky in that I've come across a few friends I love very deeply, and who care the same for me--but even then, sometimes I feel as though I'd do more for them than they'd ever think to do for me, which is depressing. So I can empathize with you, there. And driving lessons. DDD: I have so sign up for those sometime this summer,too. =_=;; I don't want to. It seems like everyone wants to drive, but I'd rather just ride my bike and never go anywhere my bike/the trains can't take me. XD

Your next story seems pretty interesting! I like the idea that even as the world is settling back into its place and the pieces are being put together, one of the key people who helped in making that a reality is quite getting his final satisfactions quite yet.

[blossomsniper]

Oh my God. I feel like everyody's expecting me to drive! I just wish I could ride the bike too. Never learned.XD As for my friends, well yeah. It seemed like every school year I get hurt.But that's ancient. Im jealous you have true friends^^. Someone soo nice like you deseves them.:)

I just don't know when I'll write my next story. I want it to be chapter by chapter but I don't know how. I need to learn the LJ cut first. I also want to wait for some comments comming, if there are.(Please!)

Have you tried cross-posting to other comms? Like, with your header and then a link back to the fic on your journal? That's generally the way you gain readers for fics, because your f-list is only going to reach so many people.

fm_alchemist, hagaren_manga (manga!based only), fma_fiction, and fullservicefma are all good general FMA communities you can post to, in addition to the Royai comms you've joined already

わからない！　ほんとに　ごめなさい！

I really don't get it. @.@ I don't understang HTML editor, Rich text, etc... Don't know what they mean. I'm so sorry I'm soo dumb. I tried it since you first mentioned it ut it didn't really work. I tried again by reading more but I can't just do it. Im just sooo dumb.*bangs head more* T.T

[kalliel]

謝る必要はない! ^^

Hm, okay. One step at a time!

When I post an entry, at the top of the box where you make the post, there's two options on the right-top that say "HTML" and "Rich Text." Are they there for you, too?

[blossomsniper]

Yeah... But I don't know their purpose...~.~

[kalliel]

Oh, good, so they are there! Okay, so since I'm guessing you don't know HTML, so what you want is the Rich Text option, so click on that. Rich Text means that you can make changes to the text directly (bold words, italicize words, even insert links), kind of like you'd do it in Microsoft Word or Appleworks, depending on which you use.

Now, I'm NOT sure how to do an LJ cut with the Rich Text editor, but the person who commented on your other LJ cut thread seems to, so hopefully he/she will be able to help you out there.

[blossomsniper]

What's HTML by the way? I really don't understand it. How will I be able to post to communities if I don't knonw how to use the cut... People would get annoyed..... Im just sooo dumb........ Im so sorry.....

[kalliel]

HTML is the coding people use to make websites. Livejournal is nifty in that it has the Rich Text option, for people who aren't into webdesign, but want to be able to participate in web things without learning all that code

[blossomsniper]

OHHHHHH...... Just realized that... Hahahaha. Thanks a lot Kalliel.:)) You're really a nice person.'',

[kalliel]

Haha, I'm glad you think so. ^^ I really want you to feel at home here on LJ, because honestly, I think fandom is a fantastic outlet.

[blossomsniper]

Yup! I totally agree!

[sayhello]

Sorry for jumping in here, but to do a lj-cut in Rich Text mode, you select the text you want to be behind the cut, and then hit the lj-cut button (it looks like a paragraph with a zig-zag line under it). It will then pop up a box asking for the text you want for the cut (like "Fic behind the cut"). Type in the text, hit OK, and you'll see the cut text highlighted in grey.

Hope that helps. I alternate between HTML & Rich text depending on what I'm composing.

Thanks.:)
