Well, that's frustrating

After a certain amount of frustration last night and this morning regarding not being able to post to LJ, I went to trial-and-error testing, and discovered that I cannot post anything larger than about 1500 words/8500 characters. I'm not exactly sure what the cutoff is, but it's somewhere right around there.

They do mention on their status page that long posts may return errors, so presumably (hopefully) it's either a temporary cap they've implemented to help control server load, or a random glitch that will be fixed. In the meantime, guess I'll be posting fic to AO3 and DW, since I literally cannot post it here.

On that note ... I'm writing a WIP again! Wish me luck. I think the last time was in 2007? Though I make no promises (read at own risk!) I have a pretty good track record for finishing them. If you're the sort of person who likes to read the whole story all on one page, it'll be on AO3 when I'm (hopefully) done.

Title: The Chains That Bind Us - chapter 1 of ??
Rating/Pairing: PG; gen w/background Peter/Elizabeth
Word Count: 4800 (this part)
Summary: "Don't start feeling sorry for the dragon, El. It's a dragon. They're vicious killers." Only not so much, really. Fantasy AU in which Peter's a dragonslayer and Neal's a dragon. MY BRAIN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

White Collar WIP: The Chains That Bind Us (2/?)

I think there'll probably be about 5-6 parts to this.

The Chains That Bind Us, part deux

Part Two of my Neal-is-a-dragon White Collar AU is up on AO3 and on Dreamwidth. This chapter is about 5800 wds; the whole thing is ~10K words so far. I figure the whole thing is probably going to be 5 or 6 parts.

It's like the show is just trying to annoy me

So xparrot thoughtfully reminded me of TelevisionWithoutPity, which means I've been reading Heroes recaps over there, and all I can say is THANK GOD I DID NOT WASTE ANY MORE OF MY LIFE ON THIS SHOW. It's too late not to have been at least somewhat traumatized by season three, but ( spoilers for Heroes season four )

ETA: Wow, I just skimmed the highlights of the last few episodes and that was traumatizing in almost every conceivable way. XD Show, why did you start out so good and end up sucking so bad?
