IMPORTANT RULE MODIFICATION!
IMPORTANT RULE FOR UPCOMING ROUNDS REGARDING FILLS:
In order for fills to not get lost in the !filled tags on delicious, please nest your fill. This means that if your fanfic fill has multiple parts, reply to part 1 to add the new update. It makes it easier for us to rec it for delicious as its own fill and not to the prompt directly. And it lets ( Read more... )

okay that probably didn't make sense:
Think of it this way, an anon posts a prompt, one person replies with a multi-part fill, linking each part directly to the prompt. In this case and what we do for a one fill, we would rec the prompt directly and tag it as !filled. However, say another person fills the prompt, the same way: replying with a multi-part fill and each part linked directly to the prompt. This causes us to link directly to the prompt again. Delicious, (in its genius) has a thing against duplicate bookmarks. So basically, the only change that would happen in this case would be that it gets a !multi-fill tag and would still have same date as the previous fill/prompt post.
However, if a person links their parts to one another or nests them. It will allow us to create a different bookmark for that fill. Thus, putting it on top of the !filled tag list.

But I've found that when you nest your posts, it gets to a point where the subject is shortened to just '...' and so when you look through the comments you can't actually distinguish between general replies or comments and the sections of the fill itself without going through everything and thus you can't tell immediately when a WIP has been updated.
I'm wondering if maybe a way to avoid this problem and still make it easy for you to avoid the duplicate bookmarks issue would be to post an initial comment in reply to a prompt and then post the sections of your fill in reply to this comment?

I know. That's one of the problems that I saw. In that case, it would be easier to have the next parts as a reply to the first part.

That's basically what I'm hoping that people will do. This makes sense right: reply to part 1 to add the new update? I probably need to reword it in some way.
I just want to make sure that everyone's fill doesn't get lost in the next round so I'm trying to get out there so that people will know before I post round 3.

I just want to clarify again for my own peace of mind because I don't want to do something that makes your job anymore difficult but I also wanna make sure that when I fill things it's set out as coherently as possible for anyone reading ... would it hypothetically be okay to post parts 2, 3 etc. each as a reply to part 1? So instead of losing your subject line the further into the nest you venture by posting part 2 as a reply to part 1 and part 3 as a reply to part 2 and so on and so forth, you're posting every part after part 1 as a reply to part 1? Does that seem feasible?
So it would go like this:
Prompt
-Fill Part 1
--Fill Part 2
--Fill Part 3
--Fill Part 4
?

Prompt
-Fill Part 1
-Fill Part 2
-Fill Part 3
-Fill Part 4
is acceptable too?
Because, I, like the anon above, tend to get a little lost when everything links back to part 1. (Of course, it's infinitely harder when everything links back to the prompt! lol)
