mindcracklove | Couple (exactly two actually) of questions...

Okay, still new here, so I have a couple of (probably quite derpy) questions.

First: Can you do a cut from mobile? I've been writing a fic on my phone in my spare time, and it'd be easier to just post it from my phone.

Second: I could use a beta. Okay, fine, it's not a question. But is there anyone who could help me out in that department? I'm not in terrible need, and could do without, but I get paranoid that when I write I sound like a mad man.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot one, so make it three things.
Third: I'm terrible with names, so I need help. I need a good name for a female character that ISN'T Aurey. Help appreciated :)

Current Mood: mildly confused and paranoid
Current Location: the milky way galaxy
Current Music: a thunderstorm (on my phone)

Actually, I forgot one, and dreamwidth isn't letting me edit... (yes, I hit the right button).

Third: i'm terrible at naming. So, I need help. I need a name for a female character that isn't Aurey. Help appreciated :)

Thanks again

Levina? dunno, I just think that sounds kinda cool.

to Q1: I have no idea. you could always post it form mobile then go to the PC to edit and add the cut in then....

Q2: I might be able to help... I have a lot on my plate right now, so it depends on the story. (details?)

It's best not to wait 'till later for cuts. If you don't put a cut on your fic there's a good chance a mod will go in there and delete it.

We don't delete right away. First we copy paste a request into a comment asking for a cut ;_;

Quick question, how does one cut?

From:

scaredykitty

When in html mode, doing < cut> at the start of the fic, then < /cut> at the end of the fic, without the space after the first <.

From:

I meant was that if he posted it on his phone he could immediately edit it on his computer to add the cut.

From:

assuming things are the same, you'll probably be in html mode on mobile. If you are put (cut) before text and (/cut) after the text except using < and > instead of the ( and )

Guess there's nothing to do but try.

Probably will post it within a few days. (But i'm terrible at doing things in a timely fashion, so it may be upwards of a month :P)

From:

I meant by using the cut button on the toolbar. its what I always use.

Btw, you don't need cuts on anything but very lengthy posts or actual fics. So don't worry about reminding everyone all the time! They're doing it right. :P

says who? (you're anonymous BTW.... Hence the joke and the lack of trust..)

From:

I'm not the Anon, but they are correct.

From:

ah, okay (you're someone I can trust).

Yes, you can add cuts on mobile. Paste your story into the HTML editor, not the rich text one. Add < cut > to the start of and < /cut > (take out the spaces!) to the end of the fic.

You can always ask around for a beta. Plenty of people are willing to help out around here. There is also a beta service going to be launched in a couple weeks or so, you could try searching for one there. You're under no obligations to use it, of course. :)

For names: can't really offer you much help in that because names really do need to fit the plot and environment, so I could probably suggest some but only if I knew the context.

Aside from that, feel free to PM me if you've got any more questions. Welcome to Salad. :D
