Is it cold in here?:
I finally admitted my moderation book was as done as it ever will be and posted it.

I think I was one of the people mentioned in there. Honestly, I hadn't noticed any problem way back when. I was at my most insufferable at that time, and reading over the posts that caused the problems I'd have hated interacting with younger-me, but the way it was all handled is one of the reasons I stuck around and continue to do so.
LeeC:
Does anyone here ever feel like when they are writing dialogue between two people that saying "said," or any alternative word or tagging who said what, isn't necessary? Like it seems pretty blatant on who says what.
Morituri:
Oh, absolutely. I use "said," I dunno, maybe once in ten dialog paragraphs? Usually I just intersperse the dialog with a sentence about what the character is doing or thinking or what they're looking at, or their nonverbal cues, etc. If it appears in the same paragraph with their quoted text, it flows fine.
LeeC:
Fuck. I just wrote chapter 5 and it wasn't letting me save it so I copied the words and closed out. When I opened the word doc and pasted it in, it had copied a different document I had opened.
I just lost all of today's work.
