Hello, I saw the part where it said if I have any questions... I am a computer idiot (yes, I know that is not a question). I have a lovely fic for the contest but I don't know how to post it here without posting the whole story. How? How do I do it? Bec keeps trying to help me but it's not going so well. Please help me... And try not to judge

Do you mean like posting the story under a cut?

[marylray]

What does under a cut mean? Let's see... I tried posting last night and the WHOLE 2000 something word fic went up. I knew that was wrong so I deleted it. I don't know how to do the thing where you just see the Info lines and like one lind of the fic and then it's a link.

You would think I would know more given my time on the internet, but no.

Hi, I'm Diane, one of the maintainers of the community.

LJ can be a bit daunting when you first get into it but I'm sure you'll pick it up in no time. :)

Okay, to post your story, go to http://community.livejournal.com/nhlovenest/profile and if you scroll down a bit, you should see a little picture in the centre of the page that looks like a pencil. Click on that and you'll come to the Update page. (Click here to see a picture example

Copy and paste your entire story in the main box, putting the headings of your story at the top, ie:

Title:
Author:
Pairing/Character(s):
Rating:
Disclaimer:
Word Count:
Spoilers/Warnings:
Summary:
Author's Notes:

You need to put the main part of your story behind what's called a LJ-cut. To do that, type this code:

<*lj-cut text="Type a sentence here like Read More"*>

Enter the main part of your story here and then, at the end, close the cut by typing this:

<*/*lj-cut

Thank you! Okay, at one point I thought you were speaking another language but I'll try to do what you said.

Hey! HEY! It kind of worked... I think? Also, after all of that I am only going to be about 15 min. late for work! WhooT!!!!

Thanks again!!

Yay, I'm glad! Thanks for taking part in this challenge; I'm glad Bec convinced you to post it. As soon as I've read it, I'll post feedback for you.
