So the Alphabet Soup is finally, finally practically ready to be posted as a complete anthology. We've got 26 fics for 26 letters from 25 authors. All I need is one more URL and I can post.

YAY.

Final tweaking of HTML is always a nightmare, but I seem to have gotten all the accidental extra spaces removed and misplaced quotation marks dealt with.

YAY.

Test post on LJ with the very, very abridged version works.

YAY.

Er. I believe I mentioned that we have over 57,000 words of crossover glee here? Some 20,000 more than any other Soup?

...And that it comes out to 332K as a text file, after all cuts and links and URLs have been included?

332K is the same thing as 332,000 characters.

The limit here on Dreamwidth is 300K.

When I tried my test post, it got partway through the letter U. ARGH.

I can't strip out all the coding. A lot of it is usernames and links to the author's own journal. Yes, there's about 3-5K I could strip out that would make the anthology much more difficult to navigate, but 5K doesn't help when I'm 30K over the limit!

I do not want to break it up into two posts. (Even the thought of having to redo all the HTML makes me quail.) Any suggestions what I can do here?

(And no, please don't suggest AO3 - I have personal reasons not to archive there, I'm sorry.)
