Writing On Weasyl
13 years ago
Like a lot of people, I'm curious about Weasyl's potential, and thanks to 
ignacious I was able to get an account with my preferred user-name for once: https://www.weasyl.com/profile/blackjack
That said, I'm left a little cold by its primitive support for writers. A few friends mentioned early on that it seemed like what Weasyl calls literary submissions are not sorted with general art. That doesn't seem to be the case, but the tools offered to writers are a little lacking.
As far as I can tell, only .txt files are supported at the moment. Weasyl has actually managed to take a step back from FA in that you can neither upload nor view .pdf, .doc or .docx formats. I've looked through the site FAQ and browsed their forum to make sure, and I can't seem to find anything to indicate differently.
I realize the site is only in beta and hasn't fully opened, but I hope that Weasyl will be better prepared to allow writers to use formats that have progressed since MS-DOS.
Update: And the text editor provided doesn't seem capable of preserving any sort of formatting. Not even indentation. Oh, and for some reason it deleted my submission right after adding a thumb-nail.
Jeez, this is sloppy even for a beta.
