Breaks, yes. What about indents?

afaik I always include breaks between paragraphs. However, I find it very distracting in fic - or any digital medium, really - to have indented paragraphs. It totally screws up the flow in my brain.

I agree. Indents are a space-saving device for paper books. Online, they're distracting and pointless.

Same here. I do occasionally make the effort to read online fic with indented paragraphs (as opposed to fic without line breaks, which are an instant backbutton for me), but it has to be a freaking fantastic story for me to bother.

I think that's not so much "screws up the flow" for me but more a case of what I'm used to. It's defnitely jarring when I start a fic that's formatted with indented paragraphs but I usually get used to it quickly. But I agree on the preference for no indenting on digital documents.

I've never seen indenting in fic. However, if the author absolutely could not handle line breaks between paragraphs, indenting would be better than nothing.

Incidentally, I do see/use the above style (no spacing or indents) for scientific papers. Those are really different, though, and sections are also headed off with breaks and section headers. It would take me right out of a fanfic.

DA

Oddly enough, most of the fic I've seen with indented paragraphs also has line breaks between paragraphs.

Indents in fic make it look like book. I like them. Eh, and I'm the only one who is ok with zero formatting like in this secret apparently. Weird.

If you're the only one who doesn't get all cross-eyed trying to read a zero-formatting fic, then possibly.

ha, maybe!
