#technical help

Help! What have I done? I had to format my laptop and, of course, it uninstalled everything! Steam and EC included. It has 2 disks and it was installed in the non OS one, so the EC files are still there, but I'm having to install everything again and it gave me a new game ID, which is of course at level 1! My weapons, my gear, my feats... all gone!! I have over 1400 hours of play, this is so frustrating!

I don't play on the phone, so no option there.

This game doesn't have a nice "saves" folder like I'm used to... I have no idea if there's any way I can get my ID and everything back. Help! If anyone knows what to do, please let me know!

Do you publish stuff on AO3? Do you sometimes need a divider within a chapter somewhere, to indicate a time skip or a shift in point of view or the like? And do you want to make these dividers

cool and screen reader friendly?

In that case the latest chapter in my formatting manual is for you!

In this you'll learn how to insert a basic "horizontal rule" in your work, and then step by step how to change its colour, width, and height.

And then, as a treat, you get some fancy things (ok I was bored) to tickle your creative glands:

Hot pink squids for some tentacle porn, maybe? 😁😁😁

(As you can see I use a dark skin for AO3, pretty sure these look nice on a light background as well though.)

Anyway, mostly I hope this helps somebody make their awesome fic more easily readable. As usual, my inbox is open to questions!
