To the good: have been reading lindentreeisle's epic and awesome Sherlock gen fic! Which I kind of failed utterly to help her with, but at least I let her flail at me for a little while about it! Major Pieces at AO3. 31,000 words, in which John gets framed as a serial killer. Go. Read. I know there are Sherlock people reading this journal.

To the bad: Have discovered as a result of attempting to read said fic on her DW account that apparently, DW is flaky about <p> tags that contain a style="margin: " CSS attribute of the sort that I believe occurs when you export from Word. (I don't know CSS well enough to narrow it down more than that.)

Specifically, in almost all styles, it ignores the CSS and puts in a proper double line break, like we are all used to in online reading. However, in all the standard site schemes (tropo, etc.) except Light, it only puts in a single line break, resulting in those horrible, horrible solid blocks of text that we all hate so much.

This means that presumably, somebody who generally looks at the world through style=mine and sees entry pages in their style might think their post formatting was perfectly a-ok, while people who look at everything through site scheme are barfing and paging away. Which makes me wonder how many perfectly good fics I have been avoiding because I thought their authors didn't even know that they should put in a double line break. (I wouldn't have even thought to check in other styles if I hadn't been talking to lindentreeisle's proper beta about line breaks in Word.) It ought to either work in both site and user schemes, or break in both site and user schemes, but not half-and-half. (Incidentally: it does not break on LJ.)

I should, by this point, know how to submit a proper DW bug report about this, too, but I still remain too lazy/socially inept to do it, and am instead going for the fallback of complaining on my journal. :P

To the *melty*: I was recently randomly reminded of the existence of siegeofangels's SGA John/Rodney/Atlantis story We Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Crisis, which was for awhile my very favorite slash romance fic ever, and now that I have re-read it, still is. (It is, incidentally, yet another fic that I entirely failed to properly beta.)

To the O.o: I also stumbled on the That Guy With The Glasses kinkmeme t'other day. People have now written RPF high school AUs about people I hung out with in high school. Um. Yay? (At least nobody's written anything with K-Bo...) Does this win me some sort of fandom badge? :D I think it should at least earn me one "get out of free" card RE: RPS guilt attacks.

...I think I shall spend it by finally posting "Cameron Comes Out" to my AO3 account. Yes.

(...oh, the things I will do to avoid writing the sex scene in my kinkmeme wip!)
