mk, check this out. We all had our submissions posted with line breaks and it appeared as such at first. It seems an update must have shifted them to a paragraph format. Odd looking poetry. Any way to ensure this will not happen moving forward?

Thanks! Floatbox seems to know how to keep his verse intact. Maybe he cut and pasted it from another file. Time for a new writing prompt anyway.

I noticed the formatting problem as well. You can go back in editing and put four spaces before each line to get the effect fancy courier effect. That trick works in reddit too!

the capital letters in the middle of TNG's lines and sirwfc718 is a hint to where the lines originally ended. BLOB_CASTLE's poem has also lost it's original structure. I don't recall what wrenauld's poem looked like originally. I looked back at the past work submitted to past #todayswritingprompt and all my lines were turned into paragraphs... but not everyone's. I'll start a new one soon and see if it stays stable.
