The order in which the reader sees it is not necessarily the order in which the author wrote it. You can use this to get past rewrite loops or other blockers. When writing (both fiction and non-f...
I needed to include screenshots in this question but didn't see a way to add them directly. I uploaded those to imgur so I could post, but that's not the ideal solution. (You'll see why if you lo...
On SE, as we write our answers the formatted text appears below it; a what-you-see-is-what-you-get image. That helps me, at least, tell if I have unclosed Bold or Italics, if my links are working,...
I notice we aren't getting a lot of new questions on here yet. Last summer we had a series of writing challenges in Meta, like this one: https://writing.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2127 I'd like to ...
Hi! I'm an SE user and I'm here because I'm curious about what's happening here and because I support the goals of this site. I have one quibble with what's being presented here, that I hope you u...
On SE, Writing and Worldbuilding are separate, and it works pretty well. I, however, use the Worldbuilding SE significantly more than the Writing SE, and as I reduce my usage of SE I would like a p...
It seems like this place has ground to a stop. I have been trying to do what was suggested earlier of going back to old questions (as surfaced by the Lottery tab), but that seems to be all that is ...
I was writing a question today *applause occurs immediately*. When I went to tag it, I was able to select the 'characters' tag just fine. But then I tried to add 'creative-writing', and found that ...
One thing I really miss from SE is the ability to see what answers of mine got upvoted since I last logged in (or in the last day). In other words, where did my rep increase come from. Because va...
I agree. What about showing an arrow icon before the label and giving it a different cursor on hover (cursor: pointer)? This could look something like this: I used the unicode character "BLACK ...
Added to the TODO list. 2019-12-19: Done and deployed.
In this answer, I am going to explain to you why you shouldn't announce what you are about to write anyway. It is boring and redundant and a waste of real estate on the page. Start with a claim, ...
It may be illegal in some parts of the world if the material you're writing can be considered blasphemous or heretical. However in most of the world it would be perfectly fine. Pretty much all main...
The end of the school week came as a relief for Megan McAllister, and she was looking forward to going home and doing something fun. She lounged in the back of the car, staring up at the sky and tr...
Inadvertently developing on production happened. We've had this change to categories in the works for a while now, and I was setting it up yesterday to deploy to our development server so some fol...
What happened to the rep scores? They jumped by a bunch.
[status-not-a-bug-but-looks-like-one]? Rep scores have actually just been corrected - we found a couple of voting anomalies on Outdoors yesterday, so I corrected the votes and ran a rep recalc acro...
This is a fun one. This is a bug, but it's also not something we can retroactively fix, so... [status-known-about], I guess? We discovered when we ran the import for the new stuff from Ebooks that ...
New 999 call! Answer — clammy, has chest pains? First day on the job. This one might require some context: I'm starting a new job this month as a call handler with the ambulance service. Apparen...
Thunderbolt's brightness: All below monochrome-lit. Are we so different?
Let me refer you to a forum thread on the subject, from when we were defining what we wanted this project to look like. It's not the most clear-cut thread ever, but I surmise that the plan is to h...
Writing challenge #5 September 4, 2020 Welcome to installment #5 in Writing Codidact's writing challenges! The previous topic was cats and dogs. As we all know, the world's been quite crazy lately...
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged p...
Speaking of categories, what about a category for Resources. People could suggest books on writing, write reviews on them, and other resourses, and share opinions on their virtues and vices.
