Misc links

michelel72 has three SGA tie-in novels looking for a new home (Death Game, Homecoming, The Lost); the linked post also includes links to her reviews of the books. (The books are free; a donation to an animal rescue charity would be appreciated but is not required.) ETA: Taken!

rachelmanija has a rather awesome ... well, I'm not sure whether to call it fanfic or classify it otherwise, but it's basically the diagnosis notes of Miles Vorkosigan's therapist, and if you are familiar with Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan books, it's a lot of fun, and sounds pretty much spot-on to me. *g* (I don't think you could pay me enough to be the Vorkosigans' therapist ...)

As a sci-fi fan, I'm pretty sure this is the best billboard ever. (What makes it awesome is that it's serious.)

Vid rec: these are the days (of miracle and wonder) by kaydeefalls (also on DW) - (X-Men, all movies) This vid made me SO HAPPY. Very well edited and just full of happy, bouncy nostalgic squee; it takes me right back to the delight of watching the first X-Men movie and seeing these characters that I'd loved since childhood come to life in a superhero movie that was actually good! I still haven't seen the most recent couple of movies, but enjoyed it anyway and didn't feel like I was missing anything.

ETA: kriadydragon, this rec's for you! Well, for any other interested parties as well, of course, but I think you'd particularly enjoy it, if you haven't already read it: Monsieur Vol du Furet - White Collar, absolutely adorable short-yet-plotty fic in which Neal + ferret = awesome!

Don't panic, it's just me

*points to icon*

So the rename is done, on both LJ and DW - "friendshipper" is now "sholio", which is also my AO3 and ff.net name.

All links to my old journal, or to specific entries on my old journal, will redirect automagically to the new name. The only thing that seems to be "broken" at the moment is the little link at the bottom of my LJ entries to the DW version -- it still works if you click on it, but it doesn't show the comment totals. That's a minor thing though.

(Wow, this is actually going to be a little bit weird for me too! I'm not used to seeing "sholio" where my old name used to be.)

ETA: woops, in order to crosspost, had to change my crossposting settings too!

Unintended consequences of name change discovered thus far

Come to find out, I can no longer edit my older crossposts between LJ and DW. I suppose that if I want to edit a post, I'll have to do it individually in both places.

Not a big deal, but ... unexpected. And none of my crosspost links display correctly, or show the comment count on the other site (though they do work).

But those are minor issues! I like my new name, and it seems to be showing up correctly everywhere it ought to be -- and I don't have any trouble thinking of it as "my" name when I see it (aside from a certain amount of disconcertingness, because I'm used to typing "friendshipper" into the address bar to get to my journal).

All systems go! \o/
