torino10154	2:36p	Guess which fic! Since everyone is so busy . . . now's the perfect time to create my "guess which fic I wrote" post. :P I think they are SOOOOOOO obvious I might as well have signed my name. *shakes head* I have written fics for snarry_holidays, daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas, and mini_fest over on LJ. I am not going to say whether any/all have posted or not. Reply to this screened post with your guesses which fics were mine and if you are correct I will write a drabble from the pairing/prompt of your choice. (Comment on this)
lupin100 [ ellid ]	7:42a	Title: Since There's No Place To Go, V Challenges: dance snape100, "Oh the weather outside is frightful…." lupin100 Word Count: 100 Note: this the end of the de-aged Snape plot that began months ago. He's now an adult with most of his memories, and has reunited with Remus Lupin. They just need to find a place to be alone…. The snowfall continued as the night went on, with the Zabini tea dance the first casualty. The papers, the wireless, the telly and the computer networks - even the experimental World Wide Wizarding Web that had become Hermione Granger's pet project - would call it the Storm of the Century. The Muggles used it as more proof of climate change, while the Wizengamot passed new legislation about private weather manipulation. The guests in the last room to be rented at the old inn did not know, and did not care. They were too busy relearning the oldest dance of all. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
otw_news [ francescacoppa ]	12:29a	Yuletide treasure on the AO3! We're pleased to officially announce that the popular multi-fandom holiday fanfiction exchange Yuletide is coming to the Archive of Our Own! As those of you who follow our AD&T meeting reports will know, this is something we've been working towards for a while, and we're excited to finally have the code written and everything in place! \0/ The Yuletide mods will be running the challenge for 2009 on the AO3. Some time after posting closes for this year, they'll also be uploading the existing Yuletide archive (all the stories from previous years). This means that if you are participating in Yuletide, or have participated in the past, you will be offered an Archive account \0/. (If you already have an account, you'll be able to link uploaded stories to that existing account.) Yuletide 2009 will be the first outing for our shiny new Collections and Challenges code, which will be enhanced and expanded in future. It's a great test case for us, because Yuletide mod astolat is one of our senior coders and has done most of the heavy lifting for this new code (which has meant VERY good communication between challenge mods and coders!). The Yuletide challenge is also fairly large and complicated to run, which gives us a good starting baseline of features for other fic-exchange-style challenges. Another reason we chose Yuletide first is that the Yuletide archive is at risk: the challenge has outgrown its existing code, and the mods needed to find another home or take the archive down altogether. We know it's one of the most popular multi-fandom challenges out there, and we're really pleased to be able to ensure that fandom can continue to enjoy it for many years to come. This is the very first version of Collections and Challenges on the AO3 and lots of enhancements are planned for the future. Feel free to let us know your thoughts about the design and any future features you'd like to see via our Support and Feedback form. Although Yuletide will be hosted on the AO3, it is still elynross and astolat's party! (We just built the dancehall.) If you have questions about Yuletide itself (how it will work on the AO3, what to do if your story is late, etc), please drop over to yuletide_admin. Lots of common questions are answered on their Yuletide on the AO3 info post. They have also posted detailed Instructions for Uploading Your Story to AO3. We hope that this will be the first of many challenges to run on the Archive of Our Own. We're looking forward to welcoming lots more fandoms to the Archive and enjoying even more fannish creativity \0/. Mirrored from an original post on the OTW Blog.

otw_news [ francescacoppa ]	10:27p	Archive TOS update The OTW's Content Policy is pleased to put the following updates to the Archive's Terms of Service forward for two weeks of public discussion. The full Terms of Service can be found linked on the archive page, but for clarity, all emendations and new policy items are listed below the cut. Summary of Changes: aka: the Bottom Line! The TOS updates are based on a revision and clarification of the system for ratings and warnings on the Archive (Section IV.K), and the expansion of policy on Collections in response to new functionality (Section V.A). In particular, we are trying to make the warnings more intuitive in response to user feedback, though we remain committed to the basic policy that creators get to decide whether and how they want to use warnings. For more information on the new system and how it will affect users, please see our post on Changes to the Archive Warnings System. These TOS changes are not yet final: we are currently offering them for a comment period of at least two weeks before the board votes on them, as per section I.A.2 of the TOS. We are soliciting feedback during this time. Comments must be received by January 1, 2010. ( Read more... ) Mirrored from an original post on the OTW Blog.

otw_news [ francescacoppa ]	10:06p	New change to the AO3's "Archive Warning" system We choose that you can no longer choose to choose not to warn for--wait, I'll come in again. Based on your feedback, we've decided to eliminate one of our previous Archive Warnings: "Choose Not To Warn for Some Content." While it was meant to give users additional flexibility, feedback revealed that it was just too confusing. So there will now be only one opt-out tag, represented by a new icon, (which combines and clarifies two previous ones): "Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings." But what are Archive Warnings exactly? There are two answers to this question. 1) There are six in all. Four designate particular content: major character death, underage, rape/noncon and graphic violence; the other two are "No Archive Warnings Apply" and "Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings". All stories in the AO3 must carry at least one of these descriptions. 2) They are enforceable; that is, if a story in the AO3 features major character death, underage, rape/noncon, or graphic violence without being labeled as such (or without you being told that the author has chosen not to warn for these tropes in this story), you can report that story to Abuse. So why this system? To allow users to roam the A03 with reasonable confidence that they will not encounter these four things if they don't want to. (But click on a story labeled "Author has Chosen Not To Use Archive Warnings" at your own risk!) ( More info under the cut! ) This post is mirrored from an original post on the OTW Blog.

jin_fenghuang	5:18p	Merry Fucking Christmas I am currently trying very hard not to hide under my comforter and cry for the next week straight. I have not been home for Christmas in over six years, college terms do not allow for that. This would have been the first time. And no, another ticket is out of the question, they offer re-booking, not refund. I am usually more like to side with the workers, but I have NO sympathy and only rage for the BA staff. If they cared one iota about their customer beyond their paychecks they would have started the strike AFTER the biggest family holiday of the year. Keeping hundreds of thousands of families apart is the most dickish, selfish and punch in the face worthy thing I have heard in a while. But what do they care, they are home with their families during the strike. I hope you arseholes all lose your job. No thanks, Jin Current Mood: depressed (9 Comments |Comment on this)
