I can honestly say that progress is being made on the results of my writing request meme!  Currently I’m working on a response to crazyloststar’s “This Side of Me” prompt, but there will be more to follow, for crazyloststar, Bootses, and KalamityKat. 8D  THANKS GUYS.

But my excuse for being slow is a good one: YCON IS IN LESS THAN A WEEK HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.  I think everything is coming along, though.  Most of what we don’t have yet needs to be bought from a store, so that’s not as alarming as it could be.  Through the hurry and stress, though, I’m still so wildly excited about this year’s convention.  So many people I have connections with will be there.  It’s just a shame that it’s only three days!  How are we ever going to fit everything in D:  I also get to debut a new cosplay, which I haven’t done in a long time, and it’s very appropriate, so I’m extra excited.

In less joyous news, our router burned itself out, so we’ve been having to trade off the connection.  It throws off my normal rhythm quite a lot.  I do get the Internet all day, I just tend to want it most just before bed, so I end up staying up late to do that.  YES THAT IS MY EXCUSE FOR NOT SLEEPING ON TIME.  Maybe we can pick one up this weekend, but I definitely didn’t want to have to spend money on replacing something that wasn’t even that old.

And we need that router.  We need it because we have no cable and the new seasons are all starting up.  WE NEED IT NAO.

In other news, I’m hoping the new temp agency I signed up with will prove helpful, since the old temp agency never contacted me once about anything.  Urgh.  But mostly my thoughts are consumed by YCON.

And I’m not doing very well with the standard fare.  So I’m going to try this instead!

I NEED YOUR HELPS.

1. You upload a song for me.
2. You name a fandom I’m familiar with and a pairing/character.
3. I write a drabble or more on #2 inspired by #1.

The song can be something you’ve associated with #2 before, or just a song you like.  And I only really feel comfortable writing in the FMA fandom for now, so I hope you have something from FMA in mind. 8D;

SO LET’S TRY IT?  8DDDDD;

So I’m back from y-con, have been since Tuesday morning (despite Monday trying to ruin everything), just haven’t popped over here to say so. My y-con post is coming soon, with pictures! Other than that, NaNoWriMo starts IN AN HOUR but I won’t be doing anything about that until tomorrow night. This month is going to be insane for me and I’m really irritated and frustrated over it, but . . . let’s see how it goes.

To recap, there’s NaNo, GRE’s to take on the 19th, and four applications to fill out for grad schools, including writing samples I don’t have. I also need to prep my profs with stuff for their recommendations, and probably some other huge thing I’m forgetting. Oh, transcripts. Yes.

Gonna be fun.

Or: how javascript pwns (and may not work). I did test it on Flock/Firefox and IE 6, so I hope it works for everybody. If it doesn’t, uh, I can’t fix it.

I’m now in the process of compiling a master fic list.

What took me so long? Glad you asked. See, I never knew how to organize a master fic list. By pairing? By length? Rating? Should Havoc*Roy go after Hughes*Roy, or after Havoc*Riza? Yes, these simple questions held me at a standstill. There was always the option of just listing it alphabetically, but then it’s hard for people to find the pairing they like, especially if the list is long (not that mine is).

SO, I had a workable solution by bookmarking all the fics and tagging them, because by clicking on tags you could find the pairing you wanted out of the list. But Blinklist was cluttered and they removed the cross-referencing of tags, which was why I had the list there in the first place.

BUT BEHOLD I have made my own filter using javascript I stole from sources credited at the bottom of the ficlist. It’s an alphabetized list of my fics, but it will filter itself when you click on characters you’re looking for, or the rating you want to read, or the length type, or whatever.

I’m still populating the list (as I move fics over here to WP) but there’s enough there now that you can play with it. TRY IT OUT.
