Ravynstone Abbey » Blogging http://www.ravynstoneabbey.com Books Have Turned Her Brain Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:23:20 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 Livejournal http://www.ravynstoneabbey.com/livejournal/ http://www.ravynstoneabbey.com/livejournal/#comments Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:23:20 +0000 Alexandrine http://www.ravynstoneabbey.com/?p=901 LiveJournal decided that it made really excellent business sense to redesign their site. In doing so, they removed subject lines, added a full size icon browse feature, and changed how comment links worked.

Truly an excellent design, full of useful and helpful things to make using the site easier, and value-added. Bravo.

I am shocked, and frankly appalled that anyone would have their home searched and things confiscated over a story reported in the news.

A small sum compared to the years, but I plead being seduced by Livejournal and its clones.

I have been writing again, and have been posting the resultant fic to my creative journal and at FF.net and Archive of Our Own.

Fic
Night {Archive of Our Own, FF.net}
Sand [28 Ratchets] {Archive of Our Own, FF.net}
Conversation [28 Ratchet] {Archive of Our Own, FF.net}

In addition, I am going to try to get off my lazy, distracted aft and post more recs and other things. I have ideas for eassays, I am trying to iron out, and have been catching up on my rather large list of fics to read.

Will be updating my recs pages as I have time, now that school is back in session and I have my days free.  I have a backlog of fics to read and rec from quite few fandoms, including my newest one, Iron Man. :D

I’ve spliced in my del.icio.us links as well as posts from here. The link and an email subscription form is under the heading Various Bits and Drabs.

Upgraded to Firefox 2.0 and waiting for two-three extensions to be updated-Blog This for Firefox for Windows Live Writer, del.icio.us and Furl tools. I adore the new built-in spell checker and like the fact I can add spellings to the dictionary. The default theme is very pretty. I got rid of a bunch of extensions and haven’t missed them-well except for the three I listed above and the handy dandy BBcode extension (which I wish had LJ specific codes for ease of use in commenting and posting)

Listening to: Crimson Phoenix by Atlas Plug on 2 Days or Die

 

Testing Windows Live Writer with the currently playing plugin and iTunes plugin.  Seems to work so far, though it is a bit slow in updating the song when the song changes.

Much nicer than w.bloggar and seems much prettier.

Somebody slashed them :)
I’ve posted my LJ posts to my WordPress place and I’ve been getting hits on various posts-Highlander Hanyou and that sporking of that ocular hemorrahge-inducing fic. Lordy. I’m googlable!
I’ve started another place. I call it the Scriptorium and I’ll be posting my fics there once I get done with current projects :) It is meant to be a writing archive for fanfics, orginal stuff and perhaps essays as well. We’ll see.

LJ Post is the fic.  A drabble exploring InuYasha’s thoughts.
