I am slowly and experimentally posting backdated concept writing here -- experimentally because, unlike when I post fic to AO3, when I post it to Tumblr I don't manually code it, so I'm doing some copy-paste in Rich Text but having to tweak it so it actually looks readable on DW. We're working on it. I'm not best pleased. I'm going to even be less pleased once I have to start posting stuff that has a lot of navigation in it, like the werewolf AU. Here's part one of the cage fight AU. Here's part two. This was mostly a random choice.

I think there's a slight font difference between DW and Tumblr but I'm not sure what it is just by eyeballing. Hmm, it may just be font color? I think DW posts in a very dark gray but Tumblr posts in black. (And font size -- I had to size up here.) I'm virtually certain there's a very slightly different font, but I don't know how to change it in DW.

Are you still using the original Create Entries page or the Beta? The Beta allows for Markdown, which you activate with !markdown on a line by itself and then one asterisk for italics and two for bold.

I'm using the original Create Entries page -- I'll have to poke at the beta. It may end up just being easiest to do the italics HTML myself the way I do for AO3. (Even for Tumblr I had to do the line spacing manually to post fic.)

I think if you're using Markdown and them copy/paste to elsewhere it has HTML in the view source, but I can check for you.

When pasting stuff over from tumblr in the past I found out the best way to make it mesh with DW was to paste it into the HTML editor — it keeps all the paragraph spacing but strips the rest of the formatting. You’ll have to manually re-italicize things if that’s your style but the font and colour stop being problems. Especially since having colours other than the default as the font colour mean anyone with a different colour background have to squint to see what’s going on.

Hmm. The main issue with the font color is that Tumblr posts in black and DW posts in a very dark gray. If I'm going to do the italics manually anyway, I may just have to do that. (Even posting fic to Tumblr I still had to do the line spacing manually, though not the italics.)
