• Google Docs Update

    Judging from the google docs help forum, it looks like it isn't just pony fanfiction getting hit.

    It also looks like it's over.

    Feel free to keep sending me DA/FF.net links though, and I will continue to add them to your posts.

    Or alternatively, if you want, I can just host them here, but I think DA/FF.net are better alternatives.  A lot of you already have accounts there, with communities built around them.  That's way cooler than me posting it and just sitting on blogger comments.  

    I have a ton of updates to do, so those messaging me will probably get silence as I enter ultimate grind mode and modify the world.  Just a heads up!

    Technically this is the 4th time Google has broken something.  I can't really blame them though, this is some complex stuff! I just wish they had better support channels.  (Hint hint all you Google employees! Also go get me an interview, I'll cover the pony division.)

    1. It's good to hear that it's just a temporary problem, I think. Hopefully everything is fixed so things can go back to normal.

    2. Man Google, I used to think you were cool...

      Aha kidding, but I do think it's best that people us FF.net or DA. FF.net does have an easier system for updating chapters and all that jazz. Not to mention a pretty cool community on both.

      Interesting pic choice by the way.

    3. This is all such a chore sometimes. And I can tell that you've got a lot on your plate, I'm sure sorting through the endless fanfiction sent in on a daily basis isn't easy, and I'm sure the pre-readers are sick of us by now. Take your time Seth, we know it's all for the best. *coughwaitsforreplyemailcough* :3

    4. GDocs doesn't work right with Opera (a major pain for me), so here's to hoping that people start uploading their work somewhere else.

    5. Has anyone tried using the windows live equivalent of google docs? It seems easy enough to use

    6. Here's an example of the WDocs:

      I'm just trying to help give out some extra options for people to use. Tell me if the link works and all that jazz.

    7. I always knew Google sucked, ever since they bought YouTube.

    9. Oops forgot the link. Original Message:


      There's always the archive - we couldn't use that could we? Just wondering. It's a pony fanfic archive, so it makes sense to use it. It's here, Sethisto, if you wanna look over it.


      And here's that link: http://www.ponyfictionarchive.net/

      Just something I see as a possible alternative?

    11. I like Google Docs because I can open the files from this site, and they stay in my Doc List when I go to actually read them on my tablet, and I can just delete them when I'm done.
