After mistakenly posting onto my own journal instead of the community, I finally managed to post there, and then delete the same post by going to edit it. I then re-posted my little inquiry, and opted to leave it here as well. I'm thinking that maybe I should copy posts I make over onto my journal. I wonder how many times I can use the word "post" in this short missive? Gah, I feel like such an idiot today. I just keep doing really stupid stuff...

*decides to leave while I'm relatively ahead.

...Only not really, because I just wanted to say that I need to go and edit my story before POSTing it, as if I'll care a year from now. And yes, that deserved Caps-lock. Now really, I'm GOING.*

 I've been gone for the past few months, so I'm hoping that you guys can help me catch up on what I've missed. I'm looking for decent-sized (but not Epic) fics that came out sometime during the last four or so months. I'd prefer to read stories with good plot, humor, and limited leg-pain angst. H/W would be preferable of course, but I would also like to read any outstanding pure-friendship stories that you can think of. Thanks!

Well, that appeared to fail dismally - but perhaps it is different when it's MY jounal? I'll go to a community, post some small thing ( a request or question, something valid). I shall then attempt to delete it to insure that if I have not yet actually figured out how to use the cut, I can still delete my post. Off to check it out! 

Actually, first I'm going to go delete that FAILURE of a post.

"When you post an entry, you can use an "LJ-Cut" to hide everything underneath it with a link. This is useful for really long entries, hiding spoilers, and is usually done as a courtesy for your friends' Friends page."

Great! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!?!!! I can't post any of my stories anywhere until I figure this out, and it doesn't seem to say anywhere! *continues to feel anger*
*decides to try to use google to maybe find a step-by-step actually INFORMATIVE instructon guide... later.*
