I'd really wish you would put your posts behind a cut.. its such a mess having such a long post on ones friends page.. its why lj-cuts were invented..
I dont wanna be a bitch.. and Im not trying to just be annoying.. and I look forward to reading your story as it progresses :)

[gotmegood]

if i knew how to i would! sorry, but i have no idea how to do this. i agree it probably is annoying to view it the way it's coming up and i apologise. i'll have a play round and see if i can work out what you're on about!!!!!

okay..
when you make a post, do you use html or rich text?..
if you use html...you type in (lj-cut) but replace () with <> and you get a link in your text that says "Read More"
if you use rich text, its the 13th button from the left.. which opens a dialog box where you can type in what you want it to say instead of "Read More" and then you click okay!.. and when you can make your post in the gray field.. where you would usually type your entry!

I hope this helped! :)

Why dont you post your story at wranglers or brokebackslash
Share your story! :)

This is an interesting start, I'll be looking out for more.
I like the sound of this Jack and Ennis.

I remember how nervous I was the first time I posted something, but it was a thrill too, and it still is.

something that someone told me after my first few posts, that i found valuable, was to give a little summary of what the story is about, so the readers have an idea of what they are going to see.
Like you could maybe say
Jack had never left the city before, Ennis was a country boy with a troubled past. They met at Camp Wilderness.
then you give the rating, you could say PG for now or this story contains mild swearing and sexual situations, there may be more adult content laterYou don't have to give a lot away, just enough to let the reader's know what kind of story it is. It is just a convention that most writers seem to follow. But then again unconventional is good too

thanks for the tips everyone! i think i have the cutting sorted now? i'll go do the other chapters, and then i'll try and find somewhere to post a summary.

really appreciate all the feedback and advice, thank you very much!

Bless him, Jack's going to fall fast, isn't he? He's fascinated by his quiet, capable soon-to-be friend, he hopes. He's such an optimistic hopeful fellow, our Jack. :)
