Alas, LJ's recent changes have made posting or commenting an exercise in frustration, so I'm not able to insert a nifty picture of my challenge prompt

Discovered in the Christmas Tree, Day 3 in January
You're welcome. Yes, it took some time, but I find list making meditative - and at the end, you have something useful. Though I don't think I've ever found a greater time sink than Pros and information projects....
Oooh, another list-maker and note-taker in Pros! {{{delighted hugs}}} There are a number of us currently more-or-less-active-as-circumstances-allow. I think we need a T-shirt. *BG*
When I first saw the prompt, it flumoxxed me. But then associations started to pop up and it just seemed more and more appropriate as time went on. *G*
Yay! List-makers and categorisers and connection-drawers! (That's the bit I like, I must say, drawing the connections and the patterns) We can now make lists of lists!
Oh this is brilliant, thank you very much! And heee for cursing my name - sorry about that, but I definitely don't mind if this is the result... *g* I love your purple acorn connection, and I'm fascinated by the idea that Jane was an artist too, I'm not sure I realised that, so I'll look forward to hearing more about that angle.
You've reminded me that I have work to do over at palelyloitering, of course, but that makes me happy too, and if it wasn't for you then that might not be there either - here's to all those women working away hard in the quiet background too... *g* And you're right about master lists (which people seem to be mentioning alot recently!) I finally gave in and made my own last year, mostly because, as you say, it's a good way to keep track of my own stories

Discovered in the Christmas Tree, Day 3 in JanuaryYou're welcome. I'm relieved that you survived the cursing. I was afraid your ears would be burning well into the New Year. *g* And your skill at assigning prompts remains unparallelled; it really was inspirational

Ah, now for some reason I'd been thinking that JJ was her husband, although I'd had my suspicions - I didn't realise that JJ was definitely yet another Jane pseud... I shall look at that art with a new eye, when I come across it now

So um, after seven months or so of being here, is it too late to admit that I don't actually know what S1 and S2 mean? I deduce from this that I am probably on (or using, or in, or.. something) S1.
Oh, and yesterday I discovered that you were absolutely right - it *is* possible to tell my friends list page to show the last 20 instead of the last 10. Whether that is a new thing in the wake of the changes, I don't know, but hah, I has now dunnit. And now things are not falling off the bottom quite so fast.
Also, apparently we freebie account freeloaders can track 200 threads, which means there is no reason at all not to track interesting threads for ever and ever.
Thanks for the list! Things like this are completely fascinating and a great resource - I've bookmarked it for future reference. This sort of work is part of the infrastructure - the history - of the fandom and makes it all so much more accessible and interesting.
I'm another list maker... but so far I haven't made any lists that would useful to the pros fandom at large. However, I do know the amount of work that goes into the task and I appreciate it!
Sorry you're having ongoing lj problems. I read your response to byslantedlight's comment and can see why you're wary of changing to S2 - but it would solve the problem of the comments pages (because you could view in your own style) and I'm pretty sure you could switch back. It wouldn't do anything for the lack of subject lines etc. so general accessibility would remain a problem.
I hope you stay with us - and that your health issues are sorted soon.
Apologies for the long-delayed reply. LJ never notified of your comment and RL circumstances meant I wasn't obsessively checking comments the week after posting. *g

Wow. I knew Jane was incredibly prolific, but it's quite something to see her stories listed like this! Well done managing to collate it from so many different sources, that must have been quite a labour of love! *g* And thank you!

And yes, seeing the story titles gathered together in one spot really does bring home how prolific Jane was in Pros - particularly when you realize just how many of the titles listed are from novellas and novels.

And I love the relevance of the purple acorns.
