I know this wouldn't be a feature that would be really helpful to everybody, but to who it would help - it would help tremendously.
Could we implement something where we can save our posts as drafts if we want to complete them at a later time and not have to worry about keeping a browser up so it doesn't get erased?
The reason I'm suggesting something like this is (especially due to) uploading h-manga/doujinshi. Sometimes making a post can take a while (for myself at least) when you're making sure to get other sites prepared to release the items.
Another reason could be that say you're in serious discussion and you really want to get something out there before going to bed so you don't forget. But you want to add more stuff in, check out some more sources and so forth before posting the finished copy.
Like I said, it wouldn't help everyone, but the people who would use it, would really appreciate it.

I actually like Ziggy's idea, I especially emphasized in her quote in bold and red font what I like most out of this suggestion. Also I can see how Ziggy as one who uploads the h-manga could use this to make his life easy. I see no downside to this idea or at least I can't at moment. So I want someone to correct me if there is something wrong that can happen since I can't think of any cons yet.

Fix'd. The only thing I can think of people refuting with is 'just save it in a word document' which is fine. But I like to not stare at a ton of red lines at me from all the code I use when I make uploads for Fakku

Umm, I'd like it, but I always just write what I'm gonna post on Notepad or something and copy-paste it when I'm done. So I don't really see the point.

it would be more convenient that way, but I'm not too concerned about it.

This is a fine idea, but I think that there are other things that need attention first.
Also, notepad has been doing really well for me so far, as is clear by my excellent post quality.

It's called Microsoft Word. Or Notepad.
Just copy what you have into their and save it. Then when you wanna get back to it just copy it from the Word/Note and continue on. Not actually that hard if you think about it.

I've occasionally had posts that took a eternity to type it out.
To prevent the text from being lost, I just toss it all into the notepad and leave it unsaved as I work on something else. Or cross reference something.
Finally when it is taken care, I compile everything into one post XD
I don't do it much tho.
Saving it to the notepad is a lifesaver because firefox can crash at odd times.

I know Word and Notepad are options, but I just wanted to see if there could be something implemented as well on here. Like I said in my first post - it wouldn't be a useful feature for everyone, but for the people that would use it, it'd be very helpful.

Hmm one thing I'd like to add to the draft idea.
Timed posting (ties into the draft idea quite nicely). Might come in handy when preparing front page posts for example.
I know the LWB admin does it with blog posts a lot to schedule publications.
But I think Fakku has other problems right now that need to be taken care of.
