Free clothes, some questions and something I noticed about FF.net

[alias_sqbr]

I have two bags of size 14-16 women's clothes if anyone local wants to take them off my hands.

What are your favourite visually appealing nature documentaries? Mum is looking for stuff for my grandad, he has pretty bad Alzheimer's so she just wants simple pretty stuff not complex commentary.

Does anyone know how to turn a html file into a google doc so that there are empty lines between the paragraphs? I write fic in a very similar simple html format to AO3's html export, and neither works. For example, here is one of my shorter fics, I can copy or download it as html and import it as html and rich text into Textedit with no problems, but no matter what I do I can't get it to look right in google docs. (Secret message to people offering me advice on beta-ing: thankyou. Now if I can just figure this part out…)

I've been forced to screen anonymous comments due to large volumes of spam :(

Drawing Day looks like a lot of fun even if I will almost certainly forget to get involved myself :)

I've recently noticed my Tumblr follower numbers changing a bit (up on one, down on the other), and while pondering the way that Tumblr's setup encourages one to notice such things(*) decided to poke at my Fanfic.net account to see if my number of subscribers was even listed. At which point I found a very informative page ("Story Stats" under "Traffic") listing all the favourites/subscribers/communities etc attached to my stories, which led me to A collection of Dragon Age Femslash, woo. Sure, Sturgeon's Law applies but at least now I have more than ten to sift through.

(*)I'm sure the high incidence of "Oh, lost a follower :(" posts is related to the numbers staring you in the face every time you check your dashboard, that sort of thing seems much rarer on livejournal/DeviantArt etc.

The thing I hate about Tumblr and Twitter is they make it so difficult to tell who unfollowed you. Of course before notifications, it was difficult on LJ, too, but I find the userinfo list on LJ/DW a little easier to glance through than the way Tumblr and Twitter are set up.

I really hope AO3 gets a stats page soon. I find it sorely lacking.

There's apparently a plugin that keeps track of who unfollows you but that's a lot of effort for something that hopefully doesn't happen too often :)

I'd like to know who's subscribed to me if anyone to see who else they're subscribed to, I've found that useful on FF.net.

[torachan]

Yeah, I'd love to be able to see who subscribes to me, mainly because I'm curious if anyone does at all! I can see how people might not want authors to have that info, though, so idk if it will ever be a feature.

[sqbr]

Yeah, I can definitely see that. Anonymous stuff like hitcount changes over time would be much safer.

I remember Winged Migration as being stunning and more-or-less plotless. Can't say that there aren't upsetting bits, though.

*googles* That does look pretty, thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
