batten down the hatches

I know a lot of you are in a tizzy about LJ's troubles, and I'd like to take this opportunity to echo this plea: ARCHIVE YOUR FIC. Even if you don't like that fandom anymore. Even if you wrote it ten years ago. Even if you hate it and everyone you know hates it. Someone will want it. Fandom will survive the death of a website, sure; the people that

Good thing I've saved every fic on my hard drive to begin with, and most of them are up on fanfiction.net (withoutamuse there, if you're interested). As well, I'm there as well, if you want to check me out there as well. I don't have a lot of stuff up there, but I'm sure I'll change that as things get sketchier over here. :\

Also just applied for an AO3 account, I'll let you know if/when that happens. :)

(As well as well as well ;P ) Soon as this school year ends, I'm going to go on a downloading spree, no joke. I've already lost too many of my favorite fics to the ravages of time.

Just stalked you on DW \o/

I'm definitely going to figure out how I want to have all of my favourite fics set up on my computer. I need to re-arrange all the space on my computer and figure out if I need to add more space to it. THE WOES OF MY LIFE ARE TERRIBLE, OKAY?!

YAY! I also added you on my writing journal, which is the same as here: onyxexistance. JUST IN CASE YOU WANTED!

I SAW THAT. YOU AND YOUR SNEAKY DOUBLE USERNAMES.

Yeah I need to go on an organizing spree. I wish there was some app like, I dunno, like iTunes, so you could keep all your fics in one place and store info about their author and fandom and tags etc etc. OH WAIT IT'S THE AO3 XD

IKR?! YOU TOTALLY DIDN'T EXPECT THAT, DID YOU?! NO YOU DID NOT BECAUSE I AM NINJA! Hehehehe. ;D

WELL! I don't have AO3....YET so until then, I'll just kind of...wait. I srsly need a few days to just organize all the shit on my computer before I start adding fic. WHY DO PICTURES HAVE TO TAKE UP SO MUCH SPACE! D:

[callowyn]

Hahaha oh my god don't talk to me about pictures, I have about 800 iterations of Jensen Ackles's face stored in one enormous folder. I REGRET NOTHING.

Let me know when you get one :D

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND THAT FOLDER! -weeps with pride- Mine are all school related and are RAW (which, srsly, should not mean a thing to you) and thus and therefore TAKE UP A SHIT TON OF SPACE! -cries-

Of course I will. :D

[callowyn]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I TRY.

I use iphoto for all my personal photos, which is nice now that they've gotten face tagging together. Raw sounds like it will cause trouble D:

[openmoments]

I KNOW. IT MUST BE V.V. DIFFICULT WORK FOR YOU.

RAW means it's a larger file size (average about 15MB per photo. Which means I can use the RAW feature of Photoshop, which is better, minute detailing editing. And I use Aperture to upload everything and the face feature is really nice. :)
