Website Update

[calic0cat]

Well, my website is now running on the eFiction 2.0.2 script. So, if anyone notices any problems with it, please let me know. I waited till I was pretty sure most of the bugs had been squashed before upgrading, but that's no guarantee that there isn't still something just waiting to cause a problem. :P

Also, I've started to get caught up on posting stories. Posted my own TS gen fic, "They Must Be Related" (finally), Chapter 10 of Jayni's "Alone" (GW, post-war, 1x2), Chapter 35 of Hseru's "Eclipse of Dawn" (GW, fantasy AU, 1x2), Chapters 7 and 8 of yanagi's "The Price They Paid" (GW, post-war, 1x2, 3x4, 5+6) (still really, really behind on this one :P ), and two in-progress multi-part crossovers by new guest authors - Chapters 1-20 of Capricious Purple Clarity's "Harry Potter and the Secret Link" (GW/HP crossover, post-war (no EW), 1+2, 3+4, 5+?, HGRW, maybe DMHP), and Prologue-Chapter 19 of hoshi-tachi's "Akuryou" (GW/YGO crossover, 1+2, YY+Y). I'm still not quite caught up on the story posting, but at least I'm finally making some headway. Happy reading, folks!

I feel so... unproductive. ^__~

Getting those updates done made me feel much more productive, and much less like I was getting so far behind that I'd never get caught up again.

But actually, the new eFiction upgrade makes story-posting pretty darn easy. No coding necessary, just cut-&-paste straight from the Word document into the WYSIWYG editor and it takes care of converting formatted text to HTML code automatically. I was using the WYSIWYG editor with the old version of the script, but it had a few quirks that occasionally required some time-consuming workarounds. Now, that's no longer the case.

Oh hey, internet-html-savvy person, while we're on this subject... I have a sort of 'trivia' question about that sort of thing that's been bugging me for ages, in the 'huh, how odd' sort of way. I noticed it in my own stuff some time back, and thought it was something I was doing, but I've since seen it in other stories. What is it with the word 'expression' that makes some kind of html thing put an under-score in front of the word? I see it on archives all the time, and I'm guessing it's some kind of conversion deal? O.o

This is great - I've been reading both crossovers and I love them. I'm glad I won't have to fight with FFN to read them anymore. Thankyou.

I don't spend much time cruising FFN (or Mediaminer, for that matter) for good stories anymore, unfortunately. I just don't have the time. But once in a while, I'll have a few free minutes but won't be in the mood to write, so I'll go take a quick look around. Sometimes, I get lucky and find something that looks promising. These two stories both definitely fit that criteria. I like to archive stories that aren't getting the exposure they deserve.

And I'm always happy to go take a look at a fic that's been recced by someone else who likes the same kinds of stories as me. *hint-hint*
