i don't know if this is one thing or another

[musesfool]

I have edited my spn_summergen story per beta suggestions and it has grown yet again. I am always amused at writing advice that assumes you need to cut a third of the story out, because I am generally adding stuff, and yeah, sometimes it can be as much as a third of the word count, if I need a new section or if I was especially, uh, sparse in my descriptions

Eek.

I do like the idea of a longer note field (I don't remember how long it was before).

I feel like the top is more cluttered, and it's a more graphical-feeling boxy look than the more straight-up-text format of before -- the text format being my preference, though I suppose I'll get used to it. (I think what's bugging me most is the little face avatar in the upper lefthand corner. It makes the whole thing smack of a "trendy" social networking site to me.)

I do like that it automatically hides the tag lists (just showing you the bundle names).

I think I will end up being okay with it, after the first shock wears off. Thhough the typeface is a little light for me. Or possibly I am getting old and my eyesight is getting worse. It's better at home than at work. Hmm...

The face avatar is only on your page, though. You have a little networky-wheel thing on the network page, and a tag symbol on the tags page, etc.

Ooh Booth and Dean kicking down doors and shooting.

Eeek. I hadn't noticed. I don't really like this, because each link now takes so more space in the listview, especially if you use as many tags as I do. And while the old tag bundling interface drove me crazy (last time I sorted tags I had added into my bundles and changed some it took nearly a *day* and it weren't that many edits), the new one doesn't even load bundles for me.

[ratcreature]

Also, where has the "unbundled tags" section gone? really, according to these newfangled numbers it displays I have 3500 tags, finding the couple of recently added ones again (e.g. to display stories with them) in the full listing is impossible. I need that unbundled section. Especially since I seem to be unable to bundle them currently.

[musesfool]

I don't currently have any unbundled tags, so I don't know how that works yet, but I would be surprised if they got rid of that completely.

[ratcreature]

Well, if you find out tell me, because I sure can't find mine among my 3500 tags without help and don't see that feature anywhere, and it is not for a lack of trying when going through their new interface. And I can't edit my larger bundles at all, amnd have tried now in several browsers. So I'm very much pissed off at delicious at this point.

Possibly now that summergen is done, I will attempt a Bones/SPN crossover, where Booth and Dean kick down doors and threaten to shoot bad guys. Hmm...

OMG, yes please!

[musesfool]

I am thinking about it a lot.

[musesfool]

Hee! It is very much on my mind these days.
