Foundlings - 3

I hate some fanfiction archives. Today, the bulk of my ire is for LOTRFF, which has, in its infinite wisdom, decided that my log-in ID and password will NOT let me access my stories so I can update them. Considering that everything I see at that site is centered - story text included (and on all stories, not just mine) I'm just about ready to bail from there.

Then there's SWG, which simply won't let me log in anymore. At all. I have a story (this one, as a matter of fact) that belongs there. Can I post it? Nope.

Finally there's OSA, at which I'm going to have to go through and manually tag all my italics with brackets [ ] rather than the regular HTML marks < >. It's a PITA, and that's the site where the admins are downright ugly to anybody who makes innocent mistakes.

Yes, I post to HASA, but I really don't like their new interface, and the fact that I have to go through the entire story text every time taking out the frelling extra spaces between paragraphs. Used to be that those only appeared when one went to edit; now, some horse's ass has decided to inflict that on ALL text.

All in all, this makes me weep for the state of fan fiction, when the one and only archive that seems to be in working order and/or doesn't mess with me is FFN. How sad is that?

OK, now that I have that off my chest, here's the next chapter of this one. Enjoy!

And a posting day just isn't complete without a drabble...
