  1. XF2 testbed now available

    It doesn't, I see ellipsis after 362.

  2. XF2 testbed now available

    Looks like this is related to scrolling the underlying page while the editor is on top of it. Scrolling the page in preview mode affects menu placement after returning to the fullscreen editor, and I can also use the mouse wheel on top of the open menus to scroll them up or down the screen.

  3. XF2 testbed now available

    Do the colors depend on style? Because I see Froala as the one that has a blue text box. Probably best to use the names instead of colors. I tested using the TinyMCE fullscreen mode, and immediately noticed one weird issue: in fullscreen mode, opening one of the menus from the top menu bar...

  4. The War Chronicles of a Little Demon (Youjo Senki alt)

    If this has really been proofread by so many people, there are a surprising amount of typos left. Especially around the beach scene there were lots, as below (most of the rest wasn't that bad): A repeated error I noticed in this chapter was inappropriate use of dashes. Generally (as in...

  5. Fanfiction Paywall Concerns

    If the difference from other fan fictions is that most chapters are not available on this site, instead being behind a paywall that's on some unrelated other site, I doubt that causes any problems for this site specifically.

  6. The War Chronicles of a Little Demon (Youjo Senki alt)

    I doubt it would sound odd to you when reading it in other text. Pretty much all professionally edited text avoids using "of" in those contexts. So you've certainly read significant amounts of such text, probably just without paying attention to details like that.

  7. The War Chronicles of a Little Demon (Youjo Senki alt)

    I think the patterns "as <adjective> a thing as" and "not that <adjective> a thing" shouldn't have "of". I think I saw a more formal grammar recommendation about this somewhere, but I don't have a link. As for the third, if "outside" is used as a preposition then there absolutely must not be...

  8. The War Chronicles of a Little Demon (Youjo Senki alt)

    The issue here is the colon. "with stamped my foot" is wrong remove "of"

  9. The War Chronicles of a Little Demon (Youjo Senki alt)

  10. The Skittering Chaos (Worm/Hazbin Hotel)

  11. Rule 8 Announcement

    I consider this an example of the "if you disagree with me, you're a bad person" kind of rhetoric. Some people believe that a person's internal view, and what they express about it, should determine what pronouns to use for the person. Others believe that pronouns should be based on biological...

  12. Rule 8 Announcement

    What if they're doing it because they use pronouns according to how they perceive someone / that someone's biological sex? That's how language has long been used. That's not "being a deliberate asshole". That someone is offended by it is not a reason to call it a rule 1 violation, unless the...

  13. The War Chronicles of a Little Demon (Youjo Senki alt)

    The threadmark for this is in the same list as the main chapters, whereas the previous snippets were in the "Extras" threadmark list.

  14. Tanya’s Hogwarts Adventures (Youjo Senki, Harry Potter)

    This one has 15 (the threadmark list has an explicit count). The previous chapter (the one named "Just Like the Ones I used to Know" elsewhere) is missing.

  15. The Skittering Chaos (Worm/Hazbin Hotel)
