Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 18 -- Sunday

Hello on Sunday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

- I thought about my fic once or twice

- I wrote

- I did some planning and/or outlining

- I did research and/or canon review

- I edited

- I've sent my fic off to my beta

- I posted today!

- I'm taking a break

- I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Sunday Discussion: It's a new writing week, and that means a fresh start. Maybe you had a great writing week last week, or maybe last week wasn't the greatest for getting writing things done -- what kind of goals do you have for keeping up your momentum or starting off fresh this week?

Request for Testing of Another Website

Hi everyone. Several years ago I posted here requesting assistance with some websites. Now I'm back to do the same thing. About 2 months ago I received an email on a list to which I am subscribed, regarding a website that was being launched about Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. They wanted people to sign up for their newsletter, but as I recently found out there is a problem. Actually 2 problems on the site, but I'll get to the other one in a bit. The newsletter sign-up form uses CloudFlare, which I believe Dreamwidth used at one point for security purposes or something like that. I might open a support ticket regarding this, but thought I'd ask here first. I've only encountered CloudFlare a little bit, but each time I attempted to fill in that form a box popped up prompting me to verify myself. I tried dismissing this pop-up to no avail. The verification checkbox is a good alternative imho, but it seems this one has been incorrectly implemented. The other problem on that website is with the forum registration. There is evidently some kind of CAPTCHA on the registration form, which was hopefully meant to be accessible for screen reader users such as myself. But there's some kind of site owner error. I attempted to contact them via their contact form, but again was met with that CloudFlare pop-up. I'm wondering if any of you who don't use screen readers could check out the website and see what happens. Oddly enough, it seems a couple of forum posts were made there, which to me seems impossible given that there is a forum registration. The website in question is http://www.title2.info , and I was able to read a few news articles on there but nothing else.

To the surprise of everyone, especially myself, I really like the Murderbot adaptation so far!

You can read my thoughts (along with spoilery stuff for TLoU and Andor) in my newsletter, but to save you scrolling past a lot of spoilers for other things, I'll also pop them here.

( Here's a cut! )

I watched the first two episodes of the Murderbot show. With no particular associated feelings about the books, I'm really enjoying it!

Fandom things

The Bodyguard Protocol, my post-canon Babylon 5 fixit (for one particular story thread), is now complete at 17K. (There may be a sequel in the works with further aftercare/comfort for everything I put them through.) This is not only the longest thing I've written for these characters, but apparently the longest thing I've written since 2022.

As per my AO3 stats, I've already posted almost as many words in 2025 as I did in all of 2024.

And I'm doing exchanges again!

unsent_letters_exchange revealed yesterday, and I received this lovely MASH fic (a follow-up to Sons & Bowlers) that I really enjoyed. Somewhere in the exchange collection, of course, is a very surprising, not at all predictable story written by me.

Gender Free World shirts

If you don't want to pre-order, you can just go to:

https://www.gfwclothing.com/collections/shirts

and sort by your body shape/size to see if they have anything fitting you left over in stock from previous batches.

As I have said many times before: cannot rec too highly, turns out that shirts that actually fit look incredibly good.
