Can i edit?

[Jedikool]

I was wondering if theres anyway to edit one of my already posted stories. I just wanted to do something simple like but lines between the paragraphs, cause i noticed that the paragraphs don't show up well when they're actually posted. is this possible?

Check the FAQ section of Lit's main area and it should tell you exactly how, but I think all you need to do is resubmit it with the word "EDITED" in the title. The FAQS would tell you for sure.

Good luck.

Yes there is:

Submit the edited version just as you originally submitted the story you want edited. Use EXACTLY the same title with "-- EDIT --" added to it. If your title is too long to append 10 characters, truncate the title as required, but put the full title in the comment field of the submission form.

In the comment field, put a summary of the changes -- with locations or keyword pharase to facilitate finding and verifying the changes.

Which story needs changes to the paragraphs?

I checked your oldest and newest stories and the paragraph format is "Lit Standard" -- and that is something that won't be changed without a very convincing case that your should have a different "look and feel" than "Lit Standard." (I don't know of anyone who has successfully made a case on that point yet.)

Thanks!
Well, i just want to designate scene changes i guess, since my story cuts back between characters a lot, and it seems very confusing the way its posted, tahts all.

OK, that make sense -- although it's not a "paragraph problem," it's a "scene blocking" problem.

What you need to do is edit to add an Ellipsis ('***' or '###') between the scenes rather than trying to just adding blank lines (paragraphs.)

An Ellpsis is any three repeated characters, not just "three dots" and marking scene changes is one of the things non-dot Ellipses are used for.
