Been thinking of creating a Writing Journal. Nah, not for Olinscarr stuff - that's all upped to olinscarr, and sometimes to here, too, although, y'know, yeah.

But I need a place for popping ideas - Arc, among otehr things, and the new idea I have for somethign that will either be called The Coward's Tale or Slowsilver - and the Tags function only works ( Read more... )

asshattery!, thoughts on writing

If I'd grown up hearing/speaking Hungarian, there's no doubt that I could pronounce the names all those cities. Having said that, O_O. And X_X". And my god y'all give your cities long names - almost as bad as the Welsh like that.

You might consider a personal comm for writing outside of olinscarr, with posting access limited to you and commenting open to members.

Tags work better with S2 than with S1, and it's not particularly difficult to customize. Some of the layouts even support a banner.

:D The hungarian langauge has 40 letters, and that's it in the way of sounds. There's no "a can be either like in "hate" or "can" or "scarf" or "wall" or thousands of otehr things" - there's "a" and there's "á" and that's it. S'a very phonetic language.

The reason the names are so long - well. Again with the pieces-all-mean-something. "Hódmezővásárhely" breaks up into Hód - (I'm not sure about this, but it's a word), mező - field, vásárhely - marketplace. "Dunaújváros" breaks into Duna - Danube, új - new, and város - city (yes, város has vár in it. I blame the whole medievalcity deal).

Hmmm. What would be the benefits to otehrs of that?

And to my knowledge, S2 requires a sponsered account, which I kind of don't have. So um. ^^;

Makes my head spin. Not that English makes any more sense, but I'm good at English.

With the comm thing - you could set it so all entries are friends only by default, and so that only your home journal and post, with moderated membership (friends-of-the-comm) so you can decide who can and can't see what gets posted. There's less logging in and out, and you have access to twice as many icons (those for your journaljournal and those for olinscarr). And you can have your olinscarr text archived there as well

The cons are basically that to use icons specific to a project, you'd need to set up another journal to post in the comm, which would defeat the purpose of having a comm in the first place. (However, you could set up a sponsored+ journal to post to the comm and get 15 icons and no ads showing in the comm*)

*I thinkNope, S2 doesn't require a sponsored account - you just have more customization options with one. (options that you pretty much get free with S1.) But then, the tags system works better, and memories is both a ( ... )

See that's the thing! I can do English, too - English I kind of couldn't do without. But Hungarian's just so out-of-left-field, it's great.

Hmm. I must needs give this some thought. Definitely I like the idea of 15 icons, but well. Ads. Ugh.

A haha, see this is where I am stupid and think one thing while typing the other. "Paid account" 's what I meant. Which I kind of also don't have. ( alsoplus I barely use the memories feature anyhow.)

It would take quite a bit of practise to remember for the non-Hungaria speakers, but I do like it! :D

Good luck packing! I do hope it does not turn out like that awesomely cute icon for you.
