Valentine's Day "Sugar and Spice" Exchange *Reminder*

[lenna_nightrunner]

Reminder: All Valentine's Day "Sugar and Spice" Exchange contributions are due to Shimmy's e-mail inbox (twist[dot]shimmy[at]gmail[dot]com) no later than 11:59pm in your own time zone this SaturdaySunday, February 13.

If it looks like, due to unforeseen circumstances, you may not be able to meet that deadline, let us know now. It would be very, very sad if you couldn't make it, but it would be very, very sadder if we were expecting something from you and didn't get it. Why would you want to make Dragonmod and Modkitty sad? (Not to mention your exchange partner XD)

After we receive them, the submissions will be posted here anonymously so we can all enjoy them and vote on their awesomeness. Winners will receive shinies courtesy of Shimmy, and everyone will prosper.

We can't wait to see what you've all come up with!

Isn't a .docx then? And my formatting looks weird, font has changed and paragraph spaces have disappeared. I've never tried it before now, but if it's somehow better, I would use it.

I lose all my formatting when I upload word docs to gdocs, too. Which is why I never use it for my own stuff, even though most of what I beta is on there.

[zevgirl]

Yeah, I'm gonna stick with the usual e-mail attachment.

i find that if i simply create a new document in googledocs, and then copy/paste my text from the word file to the new document, everything works out fine. >.>

i don't upload.

[bellaknoti]

i find that googledocs does just fine as an editor - nearly as good as word or open office, in its own right - and i've even begun several stories in there. when i type, i format using html pretty much automatically, although i've been known to send 'clean' versions out as betas. it lets you save in several formats, one of which is .odt.

i never, ever, use the rtf editor to make a post. it always screws everything up. when i post, i go into my document, and copy/paste. i've never had an issue with it up to this point.

That's kind of interesting. Maybe I should start writing in googledocs too so I don't have to be at my laptop to get things done. It never ocurred to me that you could use it as an editor, I always thought of it only as a sharing tool.

Shimmy and I use it almost exclusively, actually. Even for things we don't really need feedback on. At least, I do. But I don't write a ton of stuff I don't have Shimmy look at, so.

I love gdocs.
