Jesus. I can from time to time, I used to be a regular on /r/canning. The attention to detail re food safety was one of the best things about the sub, as you really can kill yourself and others if you piss about.

I mean, I'd never use Notepad. Download Notepad++, it's better in literally every way.

Doesn't have formatting, unless Notepad has got really adventurous at some point in the last decade or two.

Slightly annoyed about this, as I do use Wordpad (it's lightweight and useful for quick notes that I want to mark up with bold and italic). I don't always want to watch Word or Libreoffice load for twenty to thirty seconds.

Shitty decision, happy to be Wordpad's one fan.

I don't think many of us would come here if it wasn't fun.

Wasn't the issue with this one that money was changing hands in exchange for a printed, physical book? Like, I know the team wasn't making money, but it's understood in fanfic circles that this is a Bad Idea and this was a very high profile (and, sadly, professional-looking) project.

The work is now on AO3 alongside countless other Star Trek fanfics that exist with no trouble. If they'd done that all along, I suspect there would never have been an issue.

Jesus Christ, I clicked on this just to see the crimes against the Japanese language (since I'm always keeping an eye out for my own), thinking huh, maybe I can learn something here—

The virtue of tsuyoku naritai, "I want to become stronger", is to always keep improving

Linehan being attached to something isn't a plus these days...

I feel bad for thinking this headline has everything.
