Dear Tumblr,

I really would like to add a “read more” link on my posts, especially on the really LONG fic I plan to post either tonight or tomorrow night.  However, every time I try, it has been met with fail. Much fail. In fact, it’s sailing on the failboat that’s heading for a smacking by the failwhale. You apparently changed the coding system sometime between last week and this week. I really want to continue posting here, but I am scared of drowning the one or two readers I have in text. I’ve gone into the HTML editor, trying to code this by hand, but that isn’t working either.

I don’t have many readers. I really want to keep the ones I have. Please, think of the readers. T___________T

And please fix this. Please. And there should have been a “Read more” tag right above this line. GAH.

-Me

ps: I am aware I am pretty much talking to myself, but grrr. Frustration. Tastes like tumblr. And dirt. -_-

Um, since I still can’t figure out how to reply to a reply (and I haven’t dled any programs yet … I have to back up everything in the computer, just in case it messes up my system … but I’ve been too lazy. *Blush*) I just wanted to say thank you to anyone who’s replied or liked  my stories. It’s really made me happy. ;) When I have time, I write like crazy, but I’m never sure if anyone will read it. … so it does make it all worthwhile.

Haha it’s ok. I think the tags you have are pretty specific to your content. Also when you visit your actual blog like the wonderble.tumblr.com you can click the tag and it’ll show all your posts in that tag.

*hugs* Thanks for the encouragement and explanation. I was just like “WTF?!” when I clicked on my fic tag an a billion fics came up instead of the two of mine I was looking for — I guess I’m still working off of a LJ mindset. I’m just going to have to be very very careful tagging things. Nothing like a fresh cup of hubris in the morning  afternoon though.  And I was just feeling so proud and bragging that I was getting this blogging system organized. WHYS?! WHYS THE COMEUPPANCE TUMBLR? *Cries* 

Apparently, when I put general tags on my posts, and I click on the tags, it doesn’t just link me to the things I tag in my own blogspace, it links me to everything that anyone has ever tagged with that tag in ALL of tumblr. I’m pretty sure there was something about this in the instructions, but erm … yeah. Reading Comprehension fail is me.

So, basically, if I tag my fics “fic”, it just doesn’t link to the fic on my blog, oh no, it links to ALL the fic that anyone has ever tagged with the FIC hashtag. *headclutches*

Depressingly, the toriko fic hashtag brings up only my two stories. Question is, do I go back and retag my stuff so it’s more specific to my blog so I can find whatever crap I wrote? *sighs* Oh well, at least I figured this out before I made some sort of hashtag that flashes my figurative undies to the entire tumblr population.

I have just tagged ALL my posts. WOOT! There’s a writing fail tag, and a tumblr fail tag and a Toriko Discussion Tag. Sadly, the tumblr fail tag seems to get the most use. I owe Late Night Iridescence fic or whatever she wants since I keep screaming at her direction for help. *facepalm*

Also TWO TORIKO FICS UNDER A FIC TAG. Yeeehaw! Okay, so really, it’s one and a half fics, since the other one is drabble exercise more than a full fledge fic-with-a-plot, but eh well. There’s sure to be more to come; my vacation has just begun. I kinda feel for the fandom, but oh well. I promise I’ll be going back to work soon and the flood’ll stop. I hope.

Erm, somehow when trying to figure out how to organize stuff, I think I deleted people off the people I should be following list. Erm. Oops. Oh well. XD I don’t think they were following me anyway, so it’s no harm, no foul, right? *facepalms*

latenightiridescence said: At least that sounds more legit than the age regression fic I’m writing now. Like, I enjoy crack as much as the next person (and this sounds really awesome, btw) but I’m pretty sure there has to be a limit. I’m having fun writing it tho, so. *shrugs*

——-

XD Hehe, you are more confident than I, my friend. I don’t think the Komatsu asks Daddy Ichiryuu for permission to combo with the Four Kings thing is ever going to come to fruition; it’s one of those chewbone thoughts. I totally agree with you in that there has to be a limit when writing, even crack. The heart of any really *good* crack fiction, I think, relies on the author logically thinking the WTF implications through, strangely enough. Otherwise, it just becomes random words and crap slapped together. Or at least, that’s what I keep telling myself to stop myself from unleashing eldritch horrors unto the fandom. XD

I think your regression fic has promise though. There’s lots of things out there in the gourmet world — why not something that makes you deage? (Is it a true mental age regression  though?)  After all, there’s things that Toriko eats that changes his body so much that he bursts through his shirts with more alarming regularity than the Chippendales. It’s kinda neat to see that in reverse. XD

Well, with coffee and three -(crunch)- no, four gingersnap men in me, I think I can handle this again.

*hugs* Thanks Late Night Iridescence for teaching me how to reply. *Blush* It wasn’t really all the intuitive for me until you walked me through it. You’re awesome. <3 

The dashboard thing is a bit daunting; I only added about eight Toriko people and great googly moogly, you guys post a lot. XD. Today’s a free day (until 4:30, then I’m off with friends) so I’m writing more of the gourmet pirate story, figuring out tumblr (like … erm, just how do we do this tag thing?! XD) and possibly spamming the heck out of everyone else here.

Good times, good times.

Things I have figured out today:

-How to post on Tumblr
-How to add people on Tumblr (YAY new Toriko friends!)
-How to curse Tumblr in three languages as it refuses to put in a page break
-How NOT to randomly press all the shiny new buttons and nearly delete new shiny blog. (Seriously)

Things I sorta did:

-Write a Toriko drabble
-Find a kabillion errors on the drabble.
-Realize that at least (this time) it’s not as bad as the time I misspelled a main character’s name through a fluke of the search and replace button, leading to this rather unfortunate conversation starter:

“Who’s this Noodle you keep writing about and why is he doing that to the other guy?! And why did you name a girl Anal?”

Things I need to figure out:

-How to reply people on tumblr
-How to explain to a random people why I added them. Short version: ‘Tis for the Toriko. Cause I kinda love it. Muchly.

Okay. Going to bed, will try again at the reply thing tomorrow. Because I can’t keep spamming Late Night Irridescence’s ask box, no matter how awesome she is!

Checking out the video function. If it works, it should link the song that got stuck in my head when I wrote the Toriko drabble. REM ran around annoyingly in a musical loop in my head, until I was forced to name the fic after one of their lyrics. And it occurs to me this is one helluva long caption. *Sigh*

I keep pressing the “insert read more” button and nothing happens but a WALL OF TEXT.  *Cries* Why?! Why must you do this wall of text thing? Can’t I hide my verbal diarrhea behind a curtain of shame?!  New technology, same old inept me. *grumble*

Huh. Well, since all the other kids are doing it, might as well jump off the bridge as well. Let’s see how big of a splat I make!
