-- I've been trying to update New Dogs on Fanfiction.net, but the struggle is real. My Microsoft Office license expired around a month or so ago, but since I've switched to using Google Docs to write my stuff it doesn't really matter. Plus Google Docs is actually free. Back when I did have Microsoft Office, it was just simply a matter of changing the .docx file into a .doc document under the "save as" field and then uploading it to the site, but the system's so finicky that updating multichapter fics there is a chore now. I keep getting error messages even though I've tried uploading new chapters as a rich text file or copy and pasting it. C&P did work, but then when I moved on to the next step, the new document wasn't there. But I was able to post Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions just fine.
I still have lots of praise for FF.net and think it's a viable source for reading and posting fanfic, but they make it hard because the site has gotten so janky at this point. I mean, on my end the sixth chapter of New Dogs doesn't even come up. I just get an error message. I saw a lot of people saying to just keep hitting enter until FF.net finally accepts your story, but I can't continuously do that because of issues with my hands.
-- So now that Hell Is Paved is done, the next one-shot will be much lighter in tone. I honestly don't know when I'm gonna get around to writing up the notes for Hell Is Paved. I know I do have a lot to say on the topic of xenofiction and how the subject of predator/prey dynamics has been handled in a number of animal-centric worlds.
-- Currently working on The Stranger and A Horse Of A Different Color.
-- This is kinda off topic, but the one bad thing about choosing not to engage in fan communities means you have no way of knowing if somebody out there might've saved some fan art or a fanfic that you really love but got taken down, because you have no clue who's safe to approach and who isn't. At this point, any cool fic or art I see gets saved to a flash drive/cloud/etc.
