Cleaning up!
Some changes around here:
New Master List
The master list has been re-designed. It was getting cluttered.
I also added a little author section at the bottom of the page, because I like talking about myself and linking all my things. So now it is more accurately titled: "Master List and Author Info".
Also, since getting a smartphone I've realized that the links at the top of my layout can't be seen when browsing on the mobile version of the site. The master list is now dated out of order to appear as the first post.
Formatting
Pretty much every story and post is being reformatted. Word counts are now included instead of the very arbitrary and unhelpful designations of "one-shot", "chaptered", etc. Genre and rating are also no longer indicated; this will be dealt with through the new tagging system. I'm also reading through each post to correct typos, awkward wording, etc. This is still underway; it shouldn't interfere too much with reading as it is mostly the title text being messed with.
Deletions and Moves
Unfortunately, The Euchre and Odalisque have been taken down. Sorry if this leads to broken links. Odalisque has simply developed beyond what I originally wrote. Expect to see the universe of Odalisque at some point in the future, but a much more fully-realized version. In the case of The Euchre, I simply don't have the inspiration or motivation to finish. I don't like to leave loose ends and feel that it's best to remove it from my journal completely.
The story of Slush Puppy has been condensed into a single post. The stories Quarantine and In Fits and Starts, which have been exclusive to
joeun_kkoom, have been reposted to this journal. I have been pretty adamant about not locking any of my stories, and since joeun_kkoom is members-only, I feel a little icky about those two stories being there. The community posts now link back here.
Tags
The tagging system is in the process of being completely revamped. Please be patient while I work it out; there's a lot of posts. Mostly this is to keep me organized, but it will also probably help you navigate without having to refer to the master list.
Some new features of the tagging system:
Thanks for being patient while I re-organize!

Some new features of the tagging system:
- Stories will be organized by word count, rather than the arbitrary "drabble", "one-shot", and "chaptered" designations.
- Except for the fic: [title] tag and some exceptions for content (e.g. a trigger warning), individual chapters will not have tags. The first post will bear tags for the entire series.
- No more ratings. I don't really agree with using the MPAA rating system for written work. There will be a content tag for smut and 'rated' content to let you know.
Thanks for being patient while I re-organize!
