More 3SF fills

[heliopausa]

The Three-Sentence Ficathon rolls along merrily, though more quietly in the working week.  I've added a few fics, and a few prompts  -  I'll tell about the great fills for those tomorrow.  I've added the newer fills by me to the three separate files I'm keeping on AO3.

In the Narnia file:

"My lords, I appear before you today..." in response to a prompt from ruanchunxian0 Narnia, Edmund and/or Peter in Spare Oom, the tailored suit is the armour of a modern knight.


"...the Mirror shows many things..." in response to a prompt from syrena_of_the_lake : Narnia (Susan? Eustace?) and/or LoTR (Gandalf? Galadriel?), the sleep of reason produces monsters


In the Tolkien file:

At the edge of the tombless sea in response to a prompt from vialethe : Narnia/The Silmarillion, Susan/Maglor, all my books are lying useless now/all my maps will only show me how to lose my way


In the everything else file:

Cruel as the grave in response to a prompt from samparker  : Little Women, Jo & Laurie, Amy is jealous of their friendship.

Incident on the green in response to a prompt from <user name=wellinghall site=livejournal.com> : Dorothy L Sayers, Lord Peter Wimsey, acerbic comments on the standards of a cricket match

The charter of her worth in response to a prompt from betony :  Arthurian Legend, Mark/Brangaine, the ones history forgot

Jist one more crack at Cumberland's men in response to a prompt from an anonymous prompter: Doctor Who, the Brigadier & Jamie, Culloden


*and one more frustrating failure at linking names.  :(  Or umpteen more, I should say, because I haven't cracked the code on AO3, either.  I've tried two different methods here, the one recommended on DW, and the one which work last time, and neither is working.

Comments

If you're posting from DW, user names look like this (make sure you're seeing this comment from your browser, not your email):

To show a DW user: <user name="autumnia">
Doing that will make the name appear as autumnia

To show a LJ user: <user name="autumnia" site="livejournal.com">
This will show up as autumnia

I tried! (see above) but it's still not working. :(

Thank you very much for helping,though. I really don't know why I have so much trouble with this - geographic reasons? or because I don't have a paid account? or because someone's sticking pins into a wax image of my journal?

[autumnia]

I just sent you a screenshot of what your code should look like in DW posting window, so hopefully that will help you figure out where you went wrong.

[heliopausa]

Thank you very much! I've copied and pasted for the ruanchunxian0 paragraph, and it's worked beautifully ,but as per your suggestion I'm keeping the other one as is, so I can try to work out where it went wrong.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't look to me as if those name links are right.

If I am trying to link to an LJ, I use [user name=wellinghall site=livejournal.com]- your version looks like it has too many full stops - or is that just a way to make it visible? (Changing the brackets so it doesn't disappear.)

But [lj user="wellinghall"] ought to have given you a link to wellinghall here on Dreamwidth.

It almost looks as if your browser is doing something funny with the characters you are typing - were you deliberately using a different typeface for AO3, for example?

[user name=ruanchunxian0 site=livejournal.com]

[heliopausa]

Thank you. :) I just tried the way you suggested on wellinghall (I don't think he's on DW, is he?) and it ... well, you can see, above.

(The odd upper-case 'a' is because my 'a' button is stuffed, and the only way I can get an 'a' is by cutting and pasting, and I was too lazy to find an upper-case 'a' at the time. It makes writing very slow. :( )

[sally_maria]

That's very strange, and I've no idea what's wrong- you are using the HTML version of the comment box, not the Rich Text one, aren't you?

[heliopausa]

Oh, I bet that's it!

editing: No, it's as bad as ever. :( Thank you very much, but it's pretty well bedtime. I'll look at it lunch time tomorrow.

[transposable_element]

Weird. I tried cutting and pasting the text for the two offending links from your post into a post of my own, and the links came out fine when previewed. So the issue isn't the formatting, but I don't know what it could be.

[heliopausa]

Odd, odd, odd - but I cut and pasted from the email autumnia sent,(see above) and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for running that experimental test. :)
