Since I feel like bitching about this now
Okay, so about a week or two ago, I log into one of my email addresses and I have a message from yahoo! It seems that, as of October 19ish of this year, they were no longer be hosting Geocities or be offering free websites. However -insert snert- if I'm willing to pay $4.99 a month for a domain, they're willing to transfer any and all files I have on a geocities site for me for free.
-long, long, LOOOONG pause-
Yeah right! I don't want to pay for a website right now! (I has no money.) I want to build a website for free! I wants it for my fanfiction! -le sigh-
Ah well. I'll figure something out . . . whenever I get off my butt and start coding again. After all, I do have stuff that I won't (out of some respect for my former colllaborator, Starchaser -- I did help to write half of Legends' Children stories, too!) post to fanfiction.net and some stuff that's just, well, smutty and very male/male in nature. ^_^ Nor am I going to forget the ill-fated Decepticon Night at the Movies. XD Gods, that was so much fun, though campy and, well, a bit stupid.
In the meantime, I'll just not do anymore coding through Geocities. Why bother? I've already been given the notice that it's now a waste. (And that does upset me some. I mean, that's probably around 50 stories or so that have been coded properly that I can't use anymore. -whines- You know how tedious and boring that kind of work is!) I won't give up, though! Hey, maybe if I'm really, really lucky, I'll get some cash coming in (through unemployment) and spring for two websites! One for the fanfiction and one for my original fiction! How cool would that be?
Edit: I forgot to mention this. I know a good portion of my f-list knows who Starchaser is and what her user ID is for this site. Don't know how well said people still know her or anything or if they even talk with her, but, if said people do still speak with her, they are more than welcome to tell her I do plan to post the TF:LC stories to a future webpage of my own. I won't post those stories to ff.net or lexicon since she never wanted them on such sites, but, I did have a hand in their creations. I am proud of them, and I will display them with pride. Yes, I'm sounding very much like a bitch about this, but I'm not going to hide away a bunch of stories for the sake of trying to be her friend. If she does not want me posting them, well, she's going to have to contact me about it. She can send me an email, a private message, leave me a comment, or contact me through AIM. My user ID hasn't changed, just when I feel like signing on. I would love to still be her friend, but it isn't what she wants so I'm not going to keep trying to please her or to keep her from feeling "wounded" by my actions or my words. It's been seven fucking years already. Enough is enough. Those stories deserve to shine, and that is my top priority.
And since I've said more than what I care to (and I've promised myself I wasn't going to bitch about it anymore -- which that above isn't a rant or me bitching. It's me being honest. I am tired of keeping those stories on my harddrive, and they're some of my best works . . . Invisible Boyfriend not withstanding) I'm going to say something else.
I love mixing up fandoms. I plan on picking brains apart as soon as I'm able! ^_^ -is crazy that way-
Hey, Holo! How about a Star Ocean 3 and Final Fantasy XII ficlet? Would that blow your mind? And part1cle-mann, I has Chromia from the movie! She's still in her packaging, too (along with the original Ironhide movie toy I bought a few years ago). I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with her design, however. It's too . . . spacey, I guess. -shrugs- Ah well. I went looking for her. I now have her. I am happy. (I'll be even happier when I get a decision on my unemployment and when I get my foodstamps next month. Yay!)
