To those of you that have fic on fanfiction.net ... go and check your stuff.
In the last few days, the admin of the site has decided to strip ALL symbols out of the stories. Inclluding the ones we've used to separate scenes. so stuff like *** or /\/\/ or anything like that are now gone. To my understanding, special characters are now stripped as well....like the fancy C in facade or the accented e in cafe (so it's now faade and caf)
All of my fic that i've checked are now an unreadable mess. because all the spaces where those symbols were are now gone too so it's just an endless parade of paragraphs....with no idea when the scene breaks.
I don't see how i can fix my fic, i just have too many and it'd take me weeks to reformat them all. But those of you with fewer fic might want to check them out and make sure your stuff is okay.
they quoted the reason for doing this is that some of the symbols were interfering with upgrades they wanted to do...so they went through and stripped ALL non-letters from ALL thier works.
Chances are, the vast majority of hundreds of thousands, if not millions ,of works are now totally frakked up.
Those of you that use letters for your scene breaks XXXXXX or SJSJSJSJ or the like should be okay, but anything that's not a letter or number is now gone.
