Okay, I am a bit annoyed. Fictionalley keeps rejecting my fics because I'm just stupid when it comes to the rule of dialogue formating. Can anyone help me out and fix up my fic for me?

Hi Spot!

They're really picky about it, I think. It's annoying. Now I have to try and fix it *sigh*.

But that's weird! There are only so many ways to write dialogue in the first place.. @_@
I looked at a fic from there.. the dialogue is written pretty normally (no indents, though).
Could you give me an excerpt of what you're trying to give them?

It's just the one that you beta-read. The Res Gestae fic.

Oh! *feels stupid*
Could you send me the link again? I lost the PM, and I don't have my Word files... (your site's fic section is under construction ;_; )

heh, I haven't posted it just yet. Though...I think I will now.

Okay, link pending.

Erm.. Okay.
When I asked, my answer was basically to mind my own business and let you handle your own problems. Seriously. sweatdrop
Here is the link to the thread.. You probably should go straight to the source, though, since I really don't see anything wrong with it.

See, I don't either. I tried to understand what I did wrong, but I honestly don't.
