Yes, I know I'm a snob. But there is absolutely NO reason to post a story anywhere without capitalising it. It looks sloppy and it is difficult to read. It's hard enough reading journal entries or community/BBS board/message group posts that have no capitalisation. You're too lazy to do it in more "personal" things, that's great. You think it makes you different or unique -- yes, dear, just like everybody else. But for the love of the English language... please, throw a capital letter at the beginning of a name and the beginning of a sentence. Please.

A big ditto all around. May I link to this post in a future entry? (I'm too lazy to post another one now.)

Me too. (This, and people who don't put pairings/summaries on their stories posts for multifandom lists.) I don't care if people don't want to press the shift key. I like my shift key (unless I'm in a truly craptastic mood whilst IM'ing with someone). Other people don't, I respect that. But I just cannot fathom the people who say it makes them "unique" or an "individual", because, frankly, it doesn't *g*

Oh, you can certainly feel free, though it might be well past its expiry date by now ;)
