[not] [cool]

Wasn't even a member of this community but this just pissed me off so much:

FF.net, where are my goddamn []'s in story titles? I tend to, you know, use those since you don't permit me the use of frigging logical parentheses! And I've gotten a little attached to my brackets, thank you, as they tend to look nicer and they help separate information such as the pairing or warnings from the rest of the summary so as not to confuse the majority of people suffering from mental retardation on the Pit!

You better bring those fucking brackets back or so help me, I will summon the troops and this palace will burn tonight/in the near future.

Wait, summaries or story titles? I can understand them not allowing them in titles, because... well, it doesn't seem to make much sense to me (please, prove me wrong). But in summaries-- yeah, that does seem bogus. However, I do believe a Google search on getting around FFnet's banninated characters (and a list of just what they are, since FFnet has no source page saying what's allowed and what's not in terms of character input/limit) will reveal the answer to getting your beauteous brackets back.

I agree.

Also, I obviously tried the Google search myself, but by Google-fu is weak tonight; if you have better luck than I do, be sure to share the link; I know it was around a while ago, perhaps on FFR, but I can't remember!

I think you may be looking for this -- which for some strange reason doesn't work for me. *sigh*

No idea whether it's because I'm using a laptop instead of a PC or whether it's because of a non-US IPS, but ... *shrugs*
