08:23 am - "A Fitting Body" in French!
I can barely open my left eye, let alone see anything with it, and life sucks, but there is something I can squee about: Piwi-chan (aka asterie) has translated my ficlet A Fitting Body into French! You can read it on ff.net, Le Monde du Slash, or on HPFanfiction. I'm very flattered, and thankful to Piwi-chan.

You can find A Fitting Body in English here, and in Portuguese (O Corpo Ideal) here.

Oh, and here is the page where I list my fics that have been translated into languages other than English and Portuguese.

Current Mood: [mood icon] thankful

GJ cuts down icons from 2,000 to 100 without warning. Users aren't happy.

GJ creates a poll asking which features we would be willing to give up.

09:39 am - You can find me on IJ or LJ
From now on, I will x-post to GJ only sporadically. Ill friend people back, but I'll neither post nor read here. If you want to be read and read my posts, please friend me on Insane Journal. I'm also on LJ, but there are some contents that I won't be posting there.

06:54 pm - Permanently Insane
Because I was given a permanent account on IJ, I caved in and backed-up my LJ there. Here it is, Ptyx on IJ. But I haven't rebuilt all the filters yet, so if you can read a post on LJ but not on IJ, it's because of that. Or because you haven't friended me on IJ! ;-)

The results of my poll indicate that LJ and IJ will be my journals. Remember: I can't post dangerous content on LJ, so the only journal I will post everything is IJ. I will probably x-post to GJ, too, but I will not read on GJ. If you're going to post just on GJ and/or JF, please leave me a comment, so that I can decide how to read your posts!

07:57 am - Reccing a clarifying post & Consulting my journaling friends
Thanks to [info]cathexys for the link: [info]lydiabell has written a clarifying post on the various definitions of "child porn" as used by LJ, the NCMEC site and the US law, here.

Friends, if I keep reading my f-list both on LJ and IJ (and only there), will any of you be excluded? If the answer is yes, where can I read your posts?

12:09 pm - Boa constrictor & Journal Poll
Today is the fourth anniversary of my site, Boa constrictor. I feel kind of melancholy. HP series is finished, everybody's leaving LJ... It's the end of an era.

I'm feeling lost, so I decided to post a poll.

You can choose just one option, but I'm willing to keep TWO journals. My problem with IJ is that I CAN'T AFFORD A PAID ACCOUNT, so I won't be able to friend more than 250 people [ETA: Oh my God, I wasn't fishing for it, I promise, but a lovely and anonymous friend has just given me a permanently InsaneJournal account. I can't believe you. I'm very moved, but... I'm very confused, too! Thank you, friend, anyway. I'll go on with the poll, and then I'll make a decision, but that surely can change things.] (I have more than 500 friends on LJ, including the comms). As for JF, I won't even consider the possibility. I have my reasons.

Another problem is that if I ever decide to write underage fics, or rec underage fics or fanarts, I won't do it on LJ.

The poll is on LJ, because I still have a paid account there. Here.

09:20 am - To those who are leaving LJ
I just would like you to know that, although GJ is now my main journal, and although I'm crossposting everything to GJ and LJ, I will not back-up my old LJ posts, so if you defriend me on LJ, you won't be able to read my f-locked posts.

I won't back-up my LJ because:

1) I post a lot, and I have many filtered posts. I don't want these filtered posts to be messed-up;

2) I think the comments are the best part of my posts. Seriously. I'm not an essayist in fandom (in RL I am, sometimes). What I most like to do is to ask questions and read my friends' comments. If I can't have the comments, there's no point in backing up.

09:04 am - Yahoo MLs & Accounts (PSA)
A new group has been made by [info]magic_helmut, [info]nimori and [info]snapetoy to replace After Class. The new group is located here. Please do not make any comments to this post regarding the name of the new group. If you were a member of After Class, please join the new group!

I'm taking the opportunity to pimp Snapesmut, the Yahoo ML I mod, along with [info]amandasaitou and [info]nicolle_snape. All Snape slash pairings are welcome!

~*~

As for the hoax regarding the deletion of lurkers accounts, what's really happening is that Yahoo decided to delete the long time bouncing accounts.

Here's the message posted on Yahoo 360 on the subject )

So, if your email is not bouncing, you don't have to worry.

08:05 pm - Bad (Fandom) News
1) What happened to the After Class Yahoo Group? Don't tell me Yahoo deleted it. I'd be furious. [info]snapetoy? [info]nimori? [info]magic_helmet?
"

2) Speaking of Yahoo, I had to put Snapesmut on moderated mode because of that stupid hoax that those who belong to a Yahoo group and who don't post regularly will have their account deleted. All the lurkers decided to send emails saying "I don't want to be deleted!111!" *headdesks*

3) I'm disappointed because [info]twocorpses backpedalled again and decided to make Scribblit 18+. I understand her concerns, but in this case I would rather wait for another project.

09:54 am - *headdesks* LJ bug

08:41 am - Reading and Posting Decisions
My classes will start tomorrow and I'll start working on "something" today, so my Internet time will be limited.

So I have decided that, from now on:

1) I will x-post ONLY to GJ and LJ;

2) My main reading journal will be GJ;

3) I may friend you back, but I will not read or post either on IJ or JF;

4) I will use reading filters on LJ.

Who will be on my LJ reading filters:

1) Only those who don't post on GJ (if you post different things on GJ and LJ, please let me know, so that I can decide what to do);

2) People I love;

3) People who interact with me on a regular basis;

4) People whose posts I like to read and who share interests with me, especially HP fandom.

These policies are temporary. I'm waiting for Scribblit to be up and running.
Current Mood: busy
