WEBSITES: - Nothing this week
Most of the following will have to wait until I make the time to think it all through.
1. Scan/Upload clippings and other articles: I have folders containing stuff to upload and lots of magazine articles I found when going through all my old magazines that I want to scan/upload eventually.
2. Reduce the overall number of files: I need to let go of ONE of the web spaces to save some money in future. It's another major undertaking as it will be a time consuming task. This must be a priority as money is going to get tight soon! I have at least a year's grace in which to work on this, but time does seem to go so quickly. I noticed a lot of the existing screen caps are old and small so I may re-do them - where it is beneficial. STILL DONE NOTHING AND NEXT YEARLY PAYMENT DUE SOON! I will have to make this a priority next year.
3. Sort out the eFiction archives: Nothing done this week. All my own stories were uploaded to AO3 years ago. What remains are stories written by other fans, and I know a few have moved on to new fandoms - or sadly passed on. Doing this will help bring down the number of files on the sites substantially too.
4. Make sites mobile friendly: Nothing this week
5. Add items to empty albums: Nothing this week
Please remember to check out the GALLERY and FICTION archives for any new items/stories posted as I don't tend to change the website UPDATE pages for these.

Nick Lea - AO3 Fiction and ART collectionLatest Uploads to the Gallery BOOKS/FAN STUFF **** POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT ****
FANFICTION: Still slowly reading through all The Old Guard Joe/Nicky stories when I have time.
BOOKS: Still not started on Surviving the Evacuation book 7 by Frank Tayell
TV SHOWS and MOVIES **** POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT ****
MOVIES:
XTRO 2: An ALIEN rip-off movie complete with chest-bursting scene, though the alien comes from another dimension. Overall it is terrible but with a few saving graces - Nick Lea, for instance :) One scene made me roll my eyes - computer countdown to 2 hours before radiation flush to cleanse the facility of all biologicals and the 'heroine' is in her quarters checking herself out in the mirror and brushing her hair! Nice to know she has her priorities right (sarcasm) :D
FANVIDS: Nothing this week
******************
TV SHOWS:
Bulgasal: A Korean/Chinese supernatural drama on Netflix about a man who is a 'monster' who was once human wanting revenge for the death of his family and to break a curse on him and his family. It is 16 episodes (each over an hour long) following his quest for revenge against the woman who 'stole' his soul 600 years ago and deals with reincarnation of humans and monsters in human form, and the ties that bind souls together. It takes the watcher from the present to 600 to a 1000 years into the past, discovering what truly happened and why. It was very good series and fascinating too with little pieces revealed each week until the final truth is known. I won't spoil it as it is worth watching it and seeing the story build over the episodes.
Outcast: Not watched any new episodes this week. I keep forgetting I have more and end up watching other stuff instead.
