Wow, they've changed a -lot- about uploading fics.
Yes, they have. How badly did they mess up your formatting, or did you manage to avoid that problem somehow?
If I formatted a lot, though, I can see where the frustration would come in.
The big issue for me is the random way they disallow a number of special characters, including, but not limited to, asterisks, the percentage sign, and according to some reports even the dash (-). Add in the fact that they're starting to disallow self-formatted scene breaks, forcing us to use that ugly horizontal line in a lot of cases...
*nods* So I keep hearing. I tend to write my fics for posting on IJ, then I just copy them as posted(after the tags take effect) and save that on a word file, then upload. That seems to have done the trick for the most part.

This is why I pretty much threw my hands up and said, "Well, fuck this shit". They complicated it to the point where it's harder than brain surgery.
