things make a post.
Oct. 6th, 2011 12:45 pm1. Is LJ down for anyone else? I know they were doing maintenance last night, but the site still seems to be borked.
2. The change of seasons (I hope it's the change of seasons, anyway) is making me tiiiiiiired. It takes Herculean effort to get up in the mornings. I do not like it.
3. I've been catching up on Ta-Nehisi Coates' excellent blog. If you're not reading him-- well, why aren't you reading him?
4. I posted to the main Dragoncon Livejournal community asking if anyone thought a fanwork track was a good idea, and got three "that's a great idea!" comments and fourteen comments of people arguing about slash. Like, the *second comment* was someone saying they didn't want slash panels. WTF, fandom. I didn't even mention slash in the post!
5. I have been having miraculous luck at the thrift store. Like, legit vintage turning up every time I go, including a marvelously pintucked dress that fits perfectly. And lots of stuff to take to the vintage store, where I am now consigning.
6. I bought new jeans retail. They are a size 6. What is this I don't even.
7. I'm considering doing another story-a-week project like I did last year, possibly for NaNo. The only trouble is that my handful of unfinished stories are way more unfinished than last year's handful. But I really need some new stuff to send out.
8. Does anyone have much experience with e-publishing? I'm considering putting Defenders up on the Kindle store.
