Things!

OMG COFFEE! The sweet nectar of gods! *inhales third cup*

Whee, look at me making progress with my Epic January List.  This week is for writing, so although I'm at the moment focusing on thesis-related scribbles (halfway through to the target!), hopefully fic will happen too.

Certain people on my flist are trying to get me into Jonas Brothers. ...wait, that sounded kind of kinky. I mean, into Jonas Brothers fandom. I would like to point out that just because I occasionally read fic and may have been skimming some of the primers, I do not count myself as being in a fandom until I've written fic (and sometimes not even then, for reference see random drabbles in e.g. American Idol and The Professionals). And that's unlikely to happen. So there. *sulkity sulk sulk*

I have gotten myself an AO3 account. I'm MistressKat over there, after careful consideration of what name to go with. That has always been my author name, whereas my LJ name comes from the journal being my lair of sorts... Does that make sense? Anyway, I haven't transferred any of my fic there yet, but will probably start doing that soonish.

Okay, I will now have to go to the post office and then buy some food. I hope you are all jealous of my exciting life. *nodnod*

I also have an AO3 thingie but haven't even thought about putting stuff up, except for having mild panic attacks when I've read that some of my f'list have had problems (which I believe have now been sorted). I shall wait till you tell me it's all easy and OK. *nod nod*

As it is now Tuesday evening I assume you weren't coming over today - I sort of assumed it when I hadn't heard yesterday, really.

And who are Jonas Brothers?

I know there's been some excitement around AO3 but know no details... I've dicked around a bit there and it seems pretty good. Can upload fics from existing url (except then I still have to go format stuff because I am a perfectionist).

Heh yeah, didn't happen today. Thu? I'm at uni and then helping trialia with things tomorrow.

Lol! Jonas Brothers are a barely legal boy band of very affectionate brothers. I believe they also do stuff like a tv-show and crappy teen movies for Disney. Also they are Christian. Watch fandom descend on that like a pack of rabid wolves. Hehe.

So I thought I'd stick in on this one. you can upload from an existing url. The danger with that is occasionally there are things that are slightly awry. I did that initially. Now I find it easier to simply copy and paste into the space provided. Honestly, it's ever so easy. I've uploaded 61 fics now, some of them chaptered. The only annoying thing can be sometimes with the pairings, especially if for example there are many people that are paired with Rodney McKay. Other than I'd say it's great.

I think I will get along by copy-pasting to the rich text editor...

Do you mean when you put in multiple pairings?

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

No. When there's a very long list of pairings for some reason it will only let you scroll down what you can see, so for example if you have Patrick Stump/Pete Wentz it doesn't show that in th initial list of people paired with either of them so you have to type it in.

Ahh... Well, i certainly had to type in the Laura Cadman/Elizabeth Weir pairing for that one SGA drabble thing I posted. Assumed it was first fic with that pairing.

More than likely :D

Thu is good.

So is the idea of AO3 but I will need talking through it a bit, I think!

You will have to show me pics of the Christian not-quite-jailbait.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Awesome, see you then.

Heh! I'm sure I can rustle up some pics from somewhere...
