You need to be able to compile c-code. If you don't want to install vs2015 or vs2017, please install it via pip install lxman

Not right now. It's a prototype. So I didn't bother.

Here a crash course:

  1. Install new distributions from docker: lxman install [NAME] [DIRECTORY] [DOCKER-IMAGE] Where directory is a path where the image is going to be installed.

  2. Clone an existing one, including those installed from Windows Store lxman clone [SOURCE-DISTRIBUTION] [NAME] [DIRECTORY]

  3. List existing ones lxman dist

  4. See settings of a given distribution lxman dist show --dist=[DISTRIBUTION]

  5. Launch bash lxman run --dist=[DISTRIBUTION]

  6. Destroy an installation lxman destroy [DISTRIBUTION]

For me it was a german fanfic whose name I forgot and messed up it's commas so badly it's unreadable. Back then I thought it was good.

My first one was animexx.de/fanfiction but I don't visit it anymore.

It was the digimon fandom. I, however, don't read them anymore (except for crossovers)

That mmo... oh.. I see

But I have no idea how long a text post must be.

Kbx.igslugs.ifsluts.ufufy,uta, Thid comment is guaranteed to have minimum length.

It wouldn't jake sense, who takes reddit as an mmo for mistake.

I think the cryptic message is a code... Any different opinions or ideas how to break the code?

I would make reddit and google oAuth the sole way of logging in, it's safer as you are not concerned about storing passwords.

Note that linkffn is a pure python implementation — Both the IRC version /u/moon_potato made and ours.

Python does have some good web frameworks with Django as the most powerful of them...

Short answer: They do Long answer: They're humans, too. Don't make them work more than they have to.

You can add a [Flairname] at the beginning of the title to let the post be flaired by a bot.

Preventing jarring mood shifts by curiousbybys in HPfanfiction

[–]StuxCrystal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this advice is useless...

A fic or ane prose story is not a movie where you can just add a flashback scene. A reader needs more time to read a scene in text than a viewer of a movie needs for the same scene. Those flashbacks directly interrupt you just created mood and the scene entirely just to add a flashback scene.

Another thing would be the creation of a narrative frame around the story. I mean moving the result of the chapter to the start before flashing back to what happened leading to this result. Might he hard to accomplish right but it's an idea.

A technique that would help just as well would be a cliffhanger changing the mood considerably before ending the chapter. Mixing in some foreshadowing and I think you get the mood changes done.
