I did a dumb thing tonight. Well, it was only dumb because it got me all...pensive.

I got on LJ to try to finish tightening up Chapter 8 of my latest story "Night of the Hunter" and try to get it posted -- mainly because I've been trying really hard to post a chapter a week until it's completed -- but first I thought I'd check my f-list and I came ( Read more... )

I've been off the radar a bit lately, trying to keep my head above water, and hadn't checked in on my flist in about a week (bad Gaelic). When I looked today, I was overwhelmed by the posts about SOPA and ACTA. As someone who lives 75% of her social life via virtual means and does not want the freedoms I enjoy on the internet sidelined by those in ( Read more... )

Earlier this week, after I posted my latest Ramble for Supernatural, Episode 7.07, I received two de-friended notices. I hadn't corresponded with these two former LJ friends, but I still felt a sting of that loss. I think it's in the word 'de-friended'.... With a click of a button, you're rather easily dismissed. Forgotten. Dis-avowed of knowledge.

Hi ya'll.

I know LJ has been having some wackiness of late -- I couldn't get on at all yesterday -- but now I'm having an issue with my journal and I don't know if it's my issue or as a result of the nuttiness.

When I go to my journal, I don't see my sidebar/links list at all. It's just a wide, white space to the left of the main body of my journal. ( Read more... )

Hi there.

I recently found out about a new comm: spn_award. The talent in this fandom has me in awe -- from fic writing, to vidding, to art, to the betas-we-can't-live-without, to those who watch the show and share their thoughts in various reviews and meta's.... There is a virtual treasure trove of awesomeness around us ( Read more... )

Hi ya'll.

So, if you've seen all the ruckus about the new cross-posting 'feature' LJ is now offering you probably have an opinion about it one way or another. Personally, I don't want anything I post on LJ (original post, comment, reply, what-have-you) to be posted anywhere else unless I choose to make it so. I rather like my LJ being separate from ( Read more... )

Thanks to the unending talent of one jessicarae24 I have a revised layout! Yay! I've always loved the banner she created, incorporating elements of my muse and what I like to think makes me me, but I felt like the reading space on my journal was really narrow and potentially difficult to read.

At least, that's what I'd been told a time or two.

So! I begged, ( Read more... )

So, I'm here. On LiveJournal. A place that has had the power to strike fear into me since I first discovered fanfiction. I've wandered, I've browsed, I even perused a bit, but never lingered enough to actually create a page worth mentioning. But now... Well, now I think I'm ready ( Read more... )
