Oh good... cause if I take the indents out, then there's no spaces between the paragraphs, and it's really hard to read.  So otherwise I'd have to have two completely differently formatted versions of the story... one with no indents and spaces between paragraphs, and one the correctly-formatted way.  And since I just finished reformatting fanfic Broken and am working on doing the same with BMS, I know how freaking time consuming and tedious that is.

If it was one giant paragraph I wouldn't read it, I'll take the wonky indent every now and then lol

Reading a story as one big paragraph every chapter makes my eyes hurt.

I finally got a little less lazy and fixed this indenting problem by just not indenting... and now there's spaces between the paragraphs, so it's readable.  I figure if I stick to posting one chapter at a time and reformatting one chapter at a time, it won't be so tedious.

Yeah... like how if I put NO spaces between my paragraphs and upload the file, AC will put spaces in.  So it looks like crap on Word, but okay on AC... compared to perfect on Word but all weird-looking with giant gaps on AC.

I like AC, but yeah... I HATE the formatting LOL.
