Tell your friends to update their words!
Jan. 4th, 2025 10:26 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
In previous years, I've been able to email the whole community to get anyone not regularly active here to contribute to our total words for the year, but that was because we had a professional account. Since Russia made it hard to pay for accounts, we have dropped to a standard account, and I can no longer send out a single email to all our members.
I am telling you this for one reason: Please remind all your member friends who may have words to contribute to our count, but have not yet done so for 2024, that they can still add to this count if they comment (or update their own existing comments) on one of our counter pages.
These counter pages are linked on the top left of the comm on your browser version or by clicking the 'admin: counter' tag on this entry (if you're using the app, you may be able to find them by clicking the tag too).
Please do so before midnight PST on the 7th Jan 2025, so I can complete our 1MW count for last year!
Also, if you're a regular and haven't updated, you still have time too! (I'm looking at you, Dreamy,
shanachie_quill,
3am_moonlight; and Amy for graphics only! Ignore me if you've already updated and I'm not reading it right 🤪)
LET'S MAKE EVERY WORD COUNT!

Other Creative Endeavours Counter 2023!
Jan. 29th, 2023 02:18 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)

Here is the Other Creations counter for 2023. This is not for counting on the comm, and won't be included in the year's total figures, but since so many of us are creative in other ways, we thought it would be fun to talk about those things and encourage each other through the year.

Counting help!

Hello there!!!
I got a DM from
goneahead who had answered a question in our FAQ about how to count things when you aren't going by a fan fic site that gives you a count. It was suggested that I share those words of wisdom with you all as well as another tool that
goneahead has recently discovered.
Firstly, wordcounter.net was suggested.
And then
goneahead found this thing!
I know I have issues going from word to AO3 so this looks great. THANK YOU
goneahead!!!!!

Firstly, wordcounter.net was suggested.
i post the fic, then copy all the words and paste them into this word counter wordcounter, it will automatically tally up everything! which not only counts words, but also shows you which words you keep repeating in your fic :)
And then

I just found a second super helpful tool. I like to use google docs to write , but if you try to paste from google docs to A03, you get a lot of weird coding problems. Well, if you paste from google docs to this tool and then past from this tool to A03, you can fix about 80-85% of the coding problems (and I am assuming it would work for people using word too?)
www.textfixer.com/html/convert-word-to-html
Anyway, I thought I can't be the only one who is being driven nuts by the google docs to AO3 issues, and maybe other people in the comm might be interested?
I know I have issues going from word to AO3 so this looks great. THANK YOU

Graphic Counter 2020

Here we go again - it's well into Jan and I still haven't updated the counters, so more than time I got them up. Last year I had trouble updating the ticker factory counters, so I'm trying something a little simpler this year.
