I decided I've probably spent enough time bitching about people not doing what (in my mind) they should and at least one of them was asking earlier how to link and all, so I figured it was time for someone to put together something like this and since I know how, why not me?
If you do think of anything, anything at all, let me know!
this I will read laters cause I am one of those lazy people that never went and found out how to link parts although I am one of those lazy people thats doesnt write much fic.
Oh, I am, trust me. Things need to be checked like 5 times at work if I write them. I just take time to double check posts and chats before I hit send.
I used to have one of those sweatshirts that said "Bad Spellers of the World Untie"
God, hon... wish I'd known you a year and a bit ago. You just summed up 15-odd months of head in my hands, total despair struggle in one lovely simple page. Good on you for even caring about other people enough to do it. :) Huggles xxxxxxx PS *saves*
B keeps saying she's gonna post this on a_f one day as an official modpost so people can stop effing claiming they don't know how to link to previous parts and such (that is SUCH A PET PEEVE OF MINE!), but who knows when she'll get around to it. *L*
<3
Digging through old(er) entries or something? (just curious as to how you came across this now)

*soft smile* Yeah, but sometimes, they genuinely don't, you know? I didn't know a bloody thing about html until I started trying to post. I think I only learned how to link old eps in the last couple of months! And I'm sure there are others like me.
And, yeah, came across your post trawling through A_R trying to find rutherinahobbit's fic where Peter fell over and concussed himself and had a dream about meeting Carl as a kid? Like Peter was his angel messenger from the future? lolz Yeah, I know... angels on the brain... But I never memoried it, even though I've bloody well recced it on here before, so I was trying to find it, then gave up!
I have no problem with people who are new asking. It's the people who've been around and keep saying they just can't do it even after they've been shown how...
It's just a personal pet peeve 'cos some of these authors I've effing given the code to do it - WITH ALL THE NECESSARY LINKS TO THEIR OWN STORY AND EVERYTHING - and they still people they "don't know how". Copy. Edit. Paste. Save. NOT. THAT. HARD. And really, for me, it's been a deal breaker on reading some fics 'cos there have been some I didn't start for whatever reason when they first started getting posted and now I can't find all the posts 'cos the author didn't link or in some cases even title all her posts and LJ Search is FLAWED 'cos I've used it looking for things I know are there, and it can't find them, and then I'll go back looking and find them on my own (usually random chapters in stories and such), so I KNOW it misses stuff, and.... *pulls hair out*
