NaNoWriMo

OK, so I've gone and created a filter to share at least some of my NaNoWriMo story this year with people. I included everyone who voted in my poll and I think I included everyone who's donated toward my writing in the last year or so.[Poll #1641739]The first chapter, at present, uses a cut tag, because I've had people complain when I don't use them, but not when I do.  However, I don't like the things, they slow down my reading.  And none of the people who complained when I forgot to cut tag flash fiction are in this group.

Oh, yeah, I plan to use the tag windycity for posts to this group, so if you miss a chapter they should be easy to find.

See you around!

One of the things I *really, really like* about Dreamwidth is the fact that cut tags can be expanded in place, so if you like to read things inline you can. OTOH it must not be all that important to me, because I don't post there much and still do almost all my reading on LJ.

What I like best about cut tags is that I can open them in another tab, in the background, and read them later after I've gone through my entire reading list to get caught up.

Someone told me it's possible, though not easy, to tell your own LJ friendslist to act as if there are no cut tags.

If you can set your settings to open cut tags in a separate window, can't you click on individual entries to put them in a separate window just as easily?

Yes, and I often do. But having the cut tags means less scrolling to get past the entry that I've decided to postpone.

I'm really pretty OK either way.
