is it even worth it.
FF.NET NEEDS TO DIE.
The site has apparently been eating up almost everything that people are using as breaks (there is some way to put lines in which I haven't even figured out, a lot of people have been using asterisks or whatever). Which without a doubt compromises the quality of your work. As in, every section looks like one section without any kind of gap at all. And this is happening to everything, which means authors are having to go to a whole lot of work to re-upload stuff that's too old for them to still have a copy to edit. I was able to edit my latest fic. I'm really not sure how motivated I am to fix everything else. Jesus, that stupid site. The best you can hope for is that the readers are becoming aware of the problem.
Does support care? One person on ffdotnetrants recounts:
I e-mailed them and got a response last night.
A very terse, stupid response.
Me:
"It would appear ff.net has EATEN all of my section breaks.
In some fics I use asterisks, *** centered. Those are gone. A few others that use asterisks and o's in various formats seem to have stayed.
Please advise on how to fix this without having to upload EVERYTHING again.

"The site is designed to omit certain formats and fonts. Use something else.

UGH UGH UGH. Apparently this problem has come up, gone away, and come up again, which makes me seriously not want to devote the time to fixing anything.
I AM GOING TO BED.
