Original title: Tutorial: Placing HTML tags around all similarly Formatted words at once (in Word)

Tutorial created by

The images were re-uploaded on LJ since Photobucket is no longer free to use / hotlink with images.

Listed below is the method for all LJ/DW users to use html in their fic - if they write their fics in Microsoft Word. I know it has been tremendously useful for me when I first started writing fic, before I'd moved on to Google docs. This works for Microsoft word program on a computer only (doesn't work online as in one drive, etc...)

I’m also posting this here so MODS can direct their new members here, if they want to list this as a “resource” along with phoenixacid’s HTML FORMAT Guide.

This is mostly a re-post. I take no credit for all the hard work!

Since re-joining Livejournal in August, 2011, I have discovered these little challenges called fests. They are addicting, never-ending and excellent fun. The Harry/Draco fandom seems to be compacted with them, but that only makes the writing a little more exciting, right? Every part of the fests is all part of the fun: Prompting, claiming, the writing, deadlines, anonymous postings, and the big reveals.

However, after prompting and claiming comes the writing and whether the story is small or large, there has to be some planning put into it, right? If not just for the plot, but for your own schedule. With writing comes not only real life, but other fests which you have signed up for when you really shouldn't have (What? I told you they were addicting!).

This is what I have found since I've discovered fests. It starts off as one fest, then you realize how fun it is, so you sign up for another and another and then before you know it, you are signed up for at least ten! So with these fests, there has to be at least some sort of schedule, right? There is for me. Or at least, I try.

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE. I hope all your dreams come true in 2012. :)

Since I’ve posted that photo of my glompfest notes, I’ve been asked several times about how I organise my fics. (Also, this is totally my writing journal, most people probably know who I am anyway. I'm only really trying to keep the two journals apart, if there's any confusion, don't hesitate to ask.)

Getting started

I got my notebook, my pens (several colours and highlighters), two kinds of post-its, one for time lines and outlines the other for additions and comments. My notebook is full of little notes and more post-its that I just put in there if/when I have an idea that doesn't fit into the story I'm currently working on. It's also rather thick because I tend to carry printouts of the plotoutline, in case I haven't done it by hand or the text I've written to far, with me so I can edit without having a computer handy.

This will most likely contain spoilers for my hp_zombiefest trilogy, not in writing, however the photos are clear enough to be able to read what it says.

( What happens next )

Thanks for reading and I hope this gave some insight into my working process.

I sincerely appologise to the mods if I didn't tag this properly, I honestly don't know how to tag this post.

Dear H/D Writers,

Entering the Harry Potter fandom on LJ has quickly led me to the realization that my organizational skills are simply mediocre.

Between all the communities, all the prompts and challenges, I'm absolutely baffled at how to organize everything. It's even more difficult because one story/drabble will include challenges and/or prompts from multiple communities. I originally started out saving each story to a folder for the given community that I wrote it for, but with the combining that I mentioned above, that system doesn't really work as well.

I use Microsoft Word and just the other day I noticed that it allows you to add tags to the files you want to save, so is that something I should consider using and completely forget about the folders?

What is your system of organization? Trial and error: what works for you and what doesn't?

I NEED MUCHO HELP.

Desperately,
H/D Writer Buried Under Folders. And they're smirking at me. THEY KNOW.
