Structure Help

I've been having problems with the indentation of my story when I submit it to YaoiAi. Currently, my story is one big block of text, and everytime I edit and seperate it into proper paragraphs, it reverts back to its block-like state. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to prevent it turning back into one large paragraph. I really want to add more chapters to my story, but I am not willing to do so if it ends up like the first chapter.

Sounds more like a technical issue. Like the word processing software is too primative.

What are you writing it on?
Use Wordpad (not notepad) and save it as .rtf Rich Text format.
Also change the size of text to something sensible like 12 and the font to something simple like Arial, Times New Roman or Verdana.

Lemme know if that doesn't help.

I use LibraOffice. But I just copy and paste it from the document to the story detail box. I'll space it in the story detail box, but then it will turn out as one big block of text after submitting it.

Never heard of it.

I'd suggest that this is your culprit. All text programs use invisible bits of code between the letters, sentances and paragraphs to indicate spaces, new lines, line breaks, indents etc etc.

Whatever this Libra Office is, it sounds as if whatever marks it uses arn't recognised with our forum software, or compatible with HTML coding.

Copy it to an .rtf file first, save it as .rtf, then try copy/pasting it. This may preserve the proper paragraphs.

It didn't work :S
