Poor you! Never fear, of course you can use notepad. Word is preffered but if you must fanfiction.net does support notepad format.

Using notepad will work but won't preserve your settings like other programs will. This doesn't matter much though because once uploaded, fanfiction will set your font and txt size to the prper format for the website. The only thing that MAY not be preserved is your paragraphing, but it will still be readable.

I also suggest that if you're changing scenes during the story, instead of putting a dividing line, put a row of 'X's eg: XXXXXXXXXX. because the dividing line may not be preserved after uploading :)

I also warn you that using notepad woks but shouldn't be a longtime fix, also make a note in your story chapters to your readers, that you are using notepad (This is in case your story layout is changed).

Anywway, I really feel for you as this can be very irritating. So I hope this has helped you and good luck :)

PS What's your fanfiction name and the story? I'll read and review it no matter what it's about. Promise :D

The notepad is free to use .Of course you can use it to write.

But you can only get pure text format.

you cannot set the font-size ,color,font-family,paragraph.ect like use a word.

at least it can save your story.

Try Open Office. It's compatible and free. It also runs on both Mac and Windows.
