I can make two different stories out of the same prompt. I'm willing to chalk this up to two people posting in rapid succession.

I know I said "ASCII characters" but...

This one >
And this one <

...can really bugger up the formatting because HTML exists. Thanks for your caution when using them around words.

Without the playlist 'cause I don't want to distract my readers with Stupendium's awesomeness:

Emojis and wingdings could cause problems in an eventual published anthology as Smashwords has an ever-increasing list of things they do not like. This is dependent entirely on the hill I have to climb getting 2020's Year of Instants through that particular mill.

If you want to codify a prompt for amusement purposes, please:

• Stick to ASCII characters
• Provide a translation if you want the translation used [If you don't want the translation used, that's fine too. Just keep in mind that I am one not-too-very-smart person and my time is a limited resource. I may not be able to translate and therefore will write something about incomprehensible writing]

Thanks for understanding.

Bless you I shall watch when I find a spare moment.

Thanks. I put a spot of coconut oil on the problem area and baked the Dutch Oven at 240 Celcius for an uncounted handful of hours. Fingers crossed that actually stops the problem from persisting.

@Daniandshali Very interesting because I've caught that name off of my Ko-Fi donors and forgot or decided not to give full creds because it's been a while since the donation (blush)

Every time I need a handy name, I check the people who interact most with my daily tales first

@Daniandshali If you already had a Steem account, it's free to transfer over... That might not be for you.

I do post elsewhere. I have accounts on Tumblr, Facebook, Pillowfort, and Twitter that you may prefer to comment on instead of Peakd.

So. In no particular order:

• Pillowfort: https://www.pillowfort.social/InterNutter
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorcmweller/
• Twitter: https://twitter.com/InterNutter
• Tungl: https://cmweller.tumblr.com [OR, if you prefer to wade through my weird sense of humour and social justice nonsense: https://internutter.tumblr.com ]

[I can open up my story link posts here on my hubsite to comments, but like hell am I going through my archives and doing so because that's an enormous pain in the butt]

As far as I'm aware, all of these are free and I welcome Anons if you don't want to sign up.

It's been a while, and thanks to some... skeevier prompts and the wording therein, I have to update with...

Can You Please Refrain From:

• posts with homophobic, transphobic, or xenophobic content. I believe in IDIC whilst it causes no harm. Please indulge in that philosophy
• likewise prompts about insanity that paint the mentally disabled as the ones who are the hazards in society [Pax Humanis is technically exempt, but they are still permitted to exist with rights and responsibilities... just under careful supervision]. Speaking as a member of the mentally disabled, I find it offensive that you'd think I'd fly off the handle and threaten your life.
• anything that endorses or implies endorsement of pedophillia. Whatever reason you have to think it's 'natural' is not on my Nice List. Turn yourself in, thanks. Even IDIC has its limits and those limits include the harm pedophilia causes its child victims.
• there is a recognised difference between people who choose not to change and those who are incapable of change. I prefer to help the latter and go -metaphorically- for the throats of the former. Keep that in mind.

This list may extend as I find new limits of skeev or squick. Please check regularly.

My best Beloved and Grand Fixer-Upperer can't actually remember manually resetting anyone else's password [including mine] so they finally fixed the password reset feature on this website. Huzzah.

If you have an account here, you can now re-set your password yourself. Yay!
