Well, I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. Some LJ authors are
careful to edit posts so that they contain links to following and preceding
chapters, allowing you to go back and forth through a story. So, rather than
disallowing LJ completely next year, perhaps just keep the "easily navigable"
criterion.
Perhaps this ought to have been saved for the postmortem, but I might have
forgotten by then.
Thanks,
Lin

seems drastic to some and many LiveJournal stories are easy enough to
navigate. But this is a problem that must be addressed. As it stands, next
year, a story must be easily navigable or it will be disallowed.

No worries. That's where it will be for now. Easily navigable. And Marta
did show there are several ways around it. Though I'd still prefer only one
link per story. I don't want to have to disallow lj's. Heck, if Tolkien
Online ever cleans up their archive and actually makes it useful, we'll lift
the ban on them. Incidentally, to the new folks here, when I got fed up
with Tolkien Online's archive last year and said it wouldn't be allowed this
year, I got no arguments. It seemed like everyone agreed it was not an
easily navigable place.
