lol

Yeah! I made 75,036 words. ^_^

I don't really have much to add to that except that I'm going to try and make 80k words. If I run out of plot I might have to add another side story or something...

So close I can taste it!

I went into my photobucket account yesterday to find that four of my images had been marked as inappropriate.

None of them were new though. One of them was the GIF of Hitler eating a melon and two of them were of icons showing a sim in the shower - WITH NO NAUGHTY BITS SHOWING - they were CLEAN!

The GIF had been on my account for months, but worse is that those icons had been on my account for something like 2 years. So why now?

IDGI. :/

Found on DW's Metafandom comm, An entry about naming muses and nicknaming fics, I have decided to open a discussion about the subject here on IJ.

Do y'all name your muses? Do you have nicknames for your fics?

( And stuff!! )

So I am using this one because it is fun. :3 :3 ;3

Dear Muses,

Now that I'm starting on the Zero Princess Saga/Void Space Saga/Whatever the hell you want to call this series, Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, turn this into Viceroyverse done Kairi/Rinoa Style.

Please. I don't care how well it works, I don't care that it works on a multitude of levels. I don't care if it'd be cute (and about a quarter as creepy as Quistis/Kairi is!). I don't care if it makes a lot more sense than any other Kairi pairing in existence, Sora/Kairi included. But the Nonsense of Sora/Kairi is another show rant. Aaaanyway, no one would read it.

Even if it is a really good idea--

No. No. If you try and steer it in that direction, and we know that the one-sided Rinoa/Kairi in Braceletverse is enough, I will turn this brain around and write...umm...

I WILL MAKE US WRITE MPREG. SORA/KAIRI MPREG. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!?

No love,
Jordi.

Last week I bought a USB turntable and a Freeview Set Top Box from Aldi. Now usually stuff from Aldi is really good and I've never had a problem with their stuff before.

But both of these items? They are most likely going to have to be returned.

The set top box keeps crashing or resetting at inconvenient moments. Hubby tried doing a software update and it crashed at 80% every time. Talk on the internet is showing that a lot of people are having these problems and people have tried and failed to get through to support.

The USB turntable - well, it works, but the sound input level is way too high and the audio is clipping and distorting. I've been through all the settings on both my desktop computer and the laptop and have failed to turn up any way to bring the input level down, and there is no way to change it on the turntable itself. Once again, searching the internet brings up people who have had the same problems, so I've fired off an email to support this morning, but I'm not expecting any intelligible or relevant response.

So, we're going to give it a couple more days to see if any solutions present themselves, then we'll probably end up taking them back. Shame really. :/

We are starting this years InsaneJournal holiday sale. From now until the end of the day Friday, November 27 we are going to be holding a sale on Self-Committed[paid] accounts and Extra Userpics.

The prices are be as follows

Self-Committed[paid]
1 Month -> $5
6 Month -> $15 $10
12 Month -> $25 $18

Extra Userpicx
6 Month -> $10 $5
12 Month -> $20 $15

Then on Friday November 27th from 8am until 4pm (Eastern US time) we will be running a very special sale on Permanently Insane accounts.

I have now made it to 65,272 words. I'm not quite done yet. The main plot is done, it's just... tidying up the loose ends and a bit of an epilogue type thing.

I'm hoping to make it to 70,000 words before I'm truly done, but I'm not sure I have enough left in it for another 5000 words. We'll see anyway.

Then one day I might tidy it up properly and stick it on ff.net or something. Maybe.

This is the longest thing I have ever written though. My previous longest was a Naruto fanfic that came to just under 32,500 words, so I've more than doubled that now. ^_^

Edit: I do have enough for 70k - easy. I still haven't explained what happened to Ryou cos he wasn't in the story at all - and I have notes for that. Yeah!

(Yes, my story is still lame. :P)

Back in the days of yore when I was super active in fandom, I used FF.net. Really that was all there was. Other than that, I submitted my Digimon and Zelda fics to personal shrines/sites - Mostly on Geocities, if I remember correctly, so they're probably long gone. I have very little experience with fanfiction archives; after FF.net, I primarily used my LJ for fics, both for posting my own and reading other people's work.

Anyone get an invite to AO3? Even if you haven't, what do you think of it?

I got hired by Tim Horton's.

No, I did not move to Canada. Canada? Who's that?

But I did get hired. To the second place I applied to.

I start on Friday.

OMG OMG OMG.

Now, fast food is not my ideal employment situation. However, not being broke is my ideal situation!

BE EXCITED WITH ME, GUYS!

I HAVE GOOD NEWS!!!!



Also I kinda quit Nanowrimo. But that's not important! I have a job now.
