Fandom stocking!

[sholio]

(Er, for those of you who crosspost from DW, is crossposting totally not working for anyone else right now?)

fandom_stocking is posting everyone's stockings! Mine is here. You "fill" by commenting with fic, graphics or whatever; they will remain screened until early January.

I had a lot of fun last year writing ficlets for people's stockings, so I decided to ask for one myself this year. :D It's not too late; I am fairly sure that you can continue to sign up even once the stockings start to be posted. Rules etc. at the link (and examples of other stockings). And if you're hunting for stockings to fill, all of them are tagged by fandom. (Keep checking back; they're still putting them up and probably will be at it for a number of days yet.)

Also, whitecollarhc's theme for commentfic prompts this month is Chronic Illness/Permanent Injury, which sounds SO up my alley! I need to go leave a few prompts, at least. So many things I want to write. So little time. :D

Yeah, crossposting is totes being problematic right now. Very frustrating! I think I need to, like, systematically go through the people I have friended on LJ who also have DW and switch to following them on DW instead.... but SO MUCH EFFORT.

A friend of mine just went through a lot of trouble trying to force-crosspost several entries. LJ says they're still technically under DDoS attack, though.

Effort is HARD. *g* At least it's not just me!

I just gave up after a few tries and started cross-posting manually. Poor LJ. At least they're managing to keep the site up!

I picked a fine time to get into an original fic, because it's eaten my brain to the point that I'm pretty much participating in diddly squat this year (except for the Sheppard H/C Secret Santa exchange, and I'm hoping to do a little something for the WC stocking stuffer if I would just make myself get around to doing it). I need to time when I do what better, because if there is ever a time to immerse oneself in fandom and whip out fanfic this is it. But for some reason it's also the time when I'm the most motivated to write original stuff, I don't know why that is :/ *cough*NaNo!*cough*

Well, I guess the DDoS is kicking LJ. :( Poor LJ. *pets it* Keep hanging in!

They seem to be dealing with it much better, don't they? When this most recent attack started I resigned myself to another week of next-to-no LJ but after the first few hours I noticed comparedly few problems, other than the crossposter not working (and that could be caused on DW's end, to relieve LJ).

[sholio]

Ha, yeah, NaNo actually comes at a terrible time for me each year (... November, why did it have to be November?) because there are so many holiday exchanges going on, not to mention the actual holidays -- since most of my family lives elsewhere and the mail to/from Alaska is molasses-slow, November is my month for doing most of my Christmas shopping and gift-making.

But I'm glad your original fic is going well; it's a great feeling. :D

I know! But they seem to be handling it okay -- at least, it's been staying up and responsive. Stupid hackers.
