Question for anyone who's experimented with crossposting from Tumblr to DW/LJ via IFTTT: Can you set it up so it only draws on a particular tag or is going to be a whole Tumblr account regardless? Relatedly, does it need to be an independent account or can it be a secondary (without drawing on the primary)? I can't see options for specifying either ( Read more... )

For those not on Tumblr, or just not looking at the right place at exactly the right time, linzeestyle posted a follow-up to the previously linked post. It doesn't have substantially different content, but does sum things up ( Read more... )

I've spent today feeling like I fell off a horse. It's been a while since that happened and my memory could be fuzzy, but probably more like fell off a horse several times in one afternoon.

It's been so cold and wet that things are hardly growing in the garden, so that's one thing mostly off my plate, and I'm on quasi-vacation time for another week with generally light responsibilities until the end of the month. Which is to say I'm squeezing in some fandom time before the end of the year tackles me to the ground and I can't tell up ( Read more... )

Wowwww, my last recs post was before seeing Mad Max. That seems like forever ago! Of course, there's been a Mad Max reaction post (tl;dr: LOVE), so there's that. In other personal fannish news, The Ongoing Bucky Barnes Problem continues ( Read more... )

I wanted these to be in alphabetical order by fandom with crossovers in adjacent sections and it ALMOST works... except for Harry Potter and dueSouth. Damn you two. Well, and "fandom". Eh well ( Read more... )

This is a thing that happened:

So, I got to the bottom of why I was getting such weird comments on a relatively obscure fic of mine-it’s required reading in a class being taught, and one of the assignments is to leave a comment on the required reading which is more critical than constructive so that the professors know students are “engaging” with ( Read more... )

So, the thing about writing rec posts is that I notice how many other awesome fanworks there are just lazing around my Pinboard still waiting their turn. So today I had my to do list and I said that if I got all the way through it then I'd reward myself by writing recs. As you might guess, the goal was achieved. :D I didn't actually set out to ( Read more... )

The good thing about being gone for a week is that it means more bandwidth to use up at the end of the month, which translates to "more time to spend on Tumblr". I love Tumblr in the sense that it's made fanart so much more shareable/accessible than before - I would never have dreamed there could be so much high quality fanart that I was missing ( Read more... )

iO9 has been publishing some almost surprisingly good articles lately. I tend to think of them as more flash than substance, but in at least 2 areas of interest for me - crop plants and fannishly bent - they've had strong pieces that made particularly good points.
