They aren't supposed to be links:

But indeed YAY! to Lily and Ruby and all the fantastic authors whose real names i do not know but may well know by dAname! :aww: i will bookmark lulu and do some purchasing as soon as funds allow! :heart: :party:

My apologies guys the link is [link]
A staff member will correct it soon, thanks

Well. Originally, this was from the DistinctLit journal. Whoever posted this article copy-paste'd from the journal, and thus copied [link] instead of an actual link. So, it is actually supposed to work, but doesn't. It's supposed to lead to the exact page on lulu.com for the book. Check the journal, and you'll see what I mean.

People do this often with articles, see.

I'm on there. :> Jean Xu. YAY.

Yeah but it doesn't matter really does it? i didn't even choose to click [link]. i copied lulu.com into the address bar and then i typed distinct lit to the search bar of the site and hey presto! First item up. Very easy :D

But indeed the manager of DistinctLit could ask ^PurpelBlur or ^Helewidis nicely to fix it. or probably any admin! ;) oh you got published?! oh brilliant, well done! :highfive: x

I'm quite aware that that's possible, yes. However, the point of my mentioning in my comment that the link didn't work was to let the poster of the article know, in case anyone was confused and asked where to go. Need to keep in mind that this is the Internet, and...well. I don't think I need to add any more. =P

Thanks! (:

oh i know you did right to point it out and i'm sure they're grateful to you so they can fix it :hug: it's just.. *sigh* is it too much to expect people to just use a little inititive? finding out things for the self instead of being spoonfed. But agreed, i guess this is the internet :no:
