miniblog..2 !!!
I'm gonna be real with you chief, I don't have the energy nor the inspiration for a proper blog post today. I overslept... and also it's the week-end... I don't want to use my brain... I'm resting...
I made a list of stuff to do this week on Mastodon and I've actually been crushing it, so that's been nice, at least. I like feeling like I'm Being Productive at least a little. It's good to have objectives and stuff. I'm actually kinda looking forward to seeing how much of my August to-do list I've managed to get done...
Anyway, onto the miniblogging:
Okay, this is already getting too long, this is supposed to be a miniblog!!! That's about all I have to report on today though I think.
Because I suddenly remembered they existed, I checked the Blaugust themes & prompts for this year, and I might try to do some of the latter ones? A lot of them are really focused on being in the Blaugust Community which is fascinating to me. Maybe next year I'll try to get involved beyond just making posts lol. I feel a little bad because the only people who are also doing it that I've been commenting on have beenlinky and Scumsuck. Which I guess is better than nothing! My efforts to comment on more posts I see through my Reading page have been paying off though, I think. I'm trying... Being social is difficult!!! I used to live in a cave and not talk to anybody, you know!!!
I'll leave you with a preview of some of the buttons I've been making for the fanlisting. Life is hard when there's almost no canonical material of your OTP even just standing together... Actually, I should make a button of the Café Lysandre scene...

- I haven't been working on my
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ficinabox letter at all... aghhh. I promised it'd be ready by tomorrow, too, so I guess I might crank it up today LOL. Well, I did make a list of my favorite Linda³ animals, at least, I just need to format it. Then it's going to be all about going through what I copied over from last year and fixing stuff if needed. - I fixed up the mobile version of my fanlisting, because it wasn't actually super mobile friendly especially now that I was adding more stuff to it. I'm pretty happy with it now though. This is what it looks like:
The one thing I'm still stuck on rn is the placement of the subtitle... I might try to figure out a better way to handle it. Who knows. It's not a huge issue, just kind of a pain when it comes to responsiveness. (As usual!!) - fandomgiftbasket sign-ups are open!!! I had most of mine already ready LOL, but I added some last minute stuff and suddenly realized it couldn't fit in one Dreamwidth comment. That had never happened to me before; kind of exciting in a way. Anyway, you should sign up so I can draw Pokémon for you or something.
- My goal today is to have the barebones of a website set up for Noah, who wants a site to host its fanfic and future novel information, that's easy to use and doesn't require it know anything about coding. (Well, I'll be here to offer HTML & CSS support and fixing no matter what, but you know.) I mostly want to figure out a super simple design and then try using Arrow's fic masterlist + easy AO3 template so all that Noah has to do is just download all of its fic as HTML files and plopping them in. I'll probably have to handle the fic masterlist stuff myself but that's okay. We'll see what Noah thinks about it. (I know you're going to read this BTW. Hi Noah.)

Free for All Saturday, Week 34 [DW Edition]
↑↑↑ Available dates:
September 2 & 4
September 9 & 11
September 16 & 18
Hello there! :3 Are you ready for this week's Free for All? There are no themes to follow for prompts or fills. If you've had any ideas this week that didn't really work with Tuesday's or Thursday's posts, today's your chance to prompt 'em. Be free, and have fun! ✎
Just a few rules:
1. No more than five prompts in a row.
2. No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
3. Use the character's full name and the fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
4. No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
5. If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
6. If your story has possible triggers, please warn for them in the subject line!
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Are today's prompts not catching your eye? No worries, because we have plenty of older prompts that just might do the trick! You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection.
If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site: please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site, but you are still more than welcome to participate. =)
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word!
A friendly reminder about our posting schedule: Themed posts for new prompts go up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day for new prompts of any flavor. Sundays are for showing Lonely Prompts some love, whether by requesting for someone to adopt them or by sharing any fills that you've recently completed.
