Hey eveyone, Sorry for not using a cut.  Everytime I do I lose half of my post!  Damn technology.....  *glares at monitor*

I'm all set to take a spin on the fangirl_tour  and hold up the slash end of things!  I dip into multiple fandoms, but there were so many hard choices to be made in the Harry Potter fandom, that I ended up pulling all 13 recs from that

Thank you for slashing it up around here! I was worried that my turn would look so out of place (next week).

That Pondy was just... *guh* It just slayed me last year, and then again all over today. :)

Thanks for the Drarry recs too! Can't wait to read some, but I'm definitely putting snegurochka lee's fic in first place. I love everything I've ever read by Lee, and I hadn't come across this before.

Excellent list!

Thanks! Although I'm tearing my hair out that the formating is all f**ked up. Everytime I go to fix it I lose a rec or two. Did it come out with a cut and 13 recs for you? Maybe it's just me.... grrr....

I'm not up until next week (Monday), but my friend Lariope was a few weeks ago and she told me in a panic to start formatting now, and even then, don't expect it to go through correctly! She said it took her over an hour to put up a post that had already been written and only needed to be copied and pasted.

Something about the Fangirl Tour sites seems to thwart us! I don't look forward to my turn, as far as that goes, LOL!!!

But don't worry, you did fine. And look at how many people write a novel on their journal and don't bother with a cut at all, LOL!

well, I don't mind the cut not working so much as losing 4 of my freaking recs! Gah! That was a lot of work! What's weird is I rec all the time on crack_broom and I've never had this much trouble!

I'm going back in there and find my recs! *girds loins*

Thank you! The art recs are gorgeous, and I'm looking forward to reading the fic recs!

I'm sorry that you had difficulty posting, but I promise that the Fangirl Tour doesn't do anything differently when it comes to posting. We're on the same LJ as everyone else. ;)

Thanks. I'm loving this com. So many fandoms and recs I'd never see otherwise.

As far as the posting, I've always has some issues but never as bad as this time. One thing I've always disliked about LJ and IJ posting is once you put in a cut, it's very difficult to undo it. The html coding is a nightmare to unravel. I seem to have ridiculous problems with usernames messing with the formatting too. Hmmmm..... I'm just having a thought that maybe it's my LJ format for my own journal. I might check into that.

Anyway...I hope no one comes after me with pitchforks for the gargantuan post blocking up their flist! *shrinks*

One thing that helps me is that I add in my lj cut beginning and lj cut end, leaving several blank lines between the two. Then I add the post content in, still leaving several blanks lines between the beginning lj cut and the ending lj cut. That way, if something messes up, I can look at the code and easily take them out.

Hee! If the the worst thing that happens to them is that there's one longish post on their flist, then they're having a very good day. So don't worry about it. ;)

A good idea...

Are you putting in the html coding yourself? or using rich text?
