A small question.
I must admit that when I posted my work on the site i was not vigilant enough to check the layout as it is presented when being read. This unfortunately means that all my work has been lumped into what seems to be one long unconrollable paragraph.
My question is: if I was to fix this can I do it online (ie add spaces in and paragraph breaks)? And if so am I in danger of losing cherries and amount of people who have read it? Is that the price I have to pay for being such a shortsighted fool in the first instance?

if you change a cherried piece, you have to e-mail the editor who cherried it and they will recherry it, you won't lose the number of reads....but if you do loads at once, you will dominate the last 10 read, and probably people will be reluctant to read them...so do them slowly !!

If your submissions are poetry, but you did not select "poetry" when making the initial submission, the system will ignore your line breaks and treat it as prose. If this is your only problem, simply edit the work by selecting "poetry" as its form. Should be no need to retype, though if it is cherried, you should email the editor to make sure the cherry is not lost. I think this will work. You will not lose the number of page reads unless you delete the piece entirely and then resubmit as if it were a brand new piece, which it would be from the computer's perspective.

The same thing happened to me. What works is this. Resend the story as an attached ascii text file after separating the paragraphs and dialogue.
