*waves into space* Hi, everyone!

I kind of fell off the internet lately due to having my laptop living in a desk drawer. We've had a lot of work done on our house and it just seemed smarter to have the laptop tucked away while people I didn't know were in the house.

However, the work is done, save any disasters. (Looking hard at you, old water heater.) So this afternoon, after finishing a sewing project, I put the laptop back on my wee desk and have it charging up. It's also an excellent opportunity to share one of the most *cough* memorable headline/photo combos ever. It was on the front page of our local online newspaper today:

Christmas Parade Looms

"Looms" is so not the word I would have used in conjunction with a photo of children dressed as elves and barely managing to stay upright on a parade float. There's a delightfully almost Bacchanalia quality to the scene! :-D

What is looming is Halloween, and there's been an uptick in notifications of kudos on Archive of Our Own for
"American Gothic," the wonderfully spooky fic written by Blackmare and Nightdog. They threw open a door on this fic vehicle and invited me in. My contribution was rather slight, but it was a lot of fun to do.

And here, have a little photo of the world's cutest little dog:

Callie on the sofa

That woven glass behind her is what made me want to buy this house. :)

Have a lovely autumnal afternoon, y'all.

Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Dear Yuletide Author, 2025

HI! Thank you, new friend who has good taste and likes at least one fandom I like, and hopefully the same characters in similar ways! I hope this is the kind of letter you click on and think, "Ooh, I can do that!" and not "Ahhh what have I signed up for /o\". It's yuletide, so... I'm very familiar with both. It'll be fine :)

(Is this most of this letter copy pasted from previous years? INCLUDING THIS VERY INTRO? Yes. Originality is overrated.)

The fandoms I request for yuletide are usually just fandoms that I really, really enjoyed, and I just want more of them. I would have loved to finish these canons and go to AO3 and just read 10-20 more fics in these universes! But alas they are not always there.

In all fandoms I requested, I am fine with any rating/sexual content (or lack of) that works for you.

In no particular order, let's go:

1. Three Men and a Baby (1987), 2. Lilywhite Boys - K.J. Charles, 3. Society of Gentlemen - K. J. Charles, The Summer I Turned Pretty (TV 2022), House of Guinness )

Generic DNWs: noncon, daddy kink, incest, anything you wouldn't traditionally gift to anyone unprompted. Dubcon of the 'they both actually want it' variety is fine (eg love spell, sex pollen, etc), pandemics/quarantines is fine, generally if it's a topic/trope that took place in the canon it's also fine.

*

I will finish with the usual end notes:

In the end, everything I wrote are just suggestions, and I am a very flexible reader who likes a WHOLE LOT OF STUFF so really, I'm just glad to be getting something in any of these fandoms, and I hope you enjoy the process of writing and participating. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to approach me via anonymous comment/the mods. Thank you and have a wonderful yuletide ♥♥♥

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
