tonight:

1. Do more first-line drabble meme. I have some ready to go, and some inspiration for others. More people have posted their first lines.

2. Re-code website. For real this time. Make it kick some actual ass. Make it all pretty. Make it up to date with all my most recent fic.

3. Question for fannish types: when you're on a personal site, how do you like to see fic organized? By title? By date published? Some other order? How do you like to see fic subdivided? By character? Pairing? Genre (slash/het/femslash/gen)? Genre (Comedy/romance/angst)? Some other method?

4. Question for everyone: what feature of computers/the internet would you most like to have in real life? Some of mine: ctrl-z. ctrl-f. strikethrough. Google.

5. Question for fannish people: what fic(s) would you like me to try to start/finish/work more on? Choices include:
-Sam/Cassie post-Heroes (So Cassie is totally eighteen.)
-Giles/Tara AU
-Joss RPF
-Giles/Buffy UST "The Summers Between"
-McKay backstory (slash + het)
-Scorpy/Braca
-Trance/Dylan non-con
-something else you've seen me mention but haven't seen?

6. I decided to celebrate being almost over the plague by drinking waaay more caffeine than is healthy for me. So I'm waaaay bouncy. :D

7. gvambat, call me after seven if you're around and stuff? And we can go wheeee! together.

Besides the aforementioned, real life seriously needs a CTRL-C and CTRL-V. (Well, I'm a Mac person, so in my world it's ⌘C and ⌘V and ⌘F and all that, but you know.) And ban_set. And footnotes.

Also ^⌥⌘ -> and ^⌥⌘ [space], which skip to the next song and pause in iTunes, respectively.¹ Tragically, I cannot seem to control anyone else's music like this.

Re: number 5: you should totally write anything with Giles in it. :D

¹Mostly, I just like showing off the fancy characters. Especially the Sevärdhet.

[wisdomeagle]

o_O your characters make my brain go wheeee!

Or possibly that's the three cups of Coke talking.

You are so right about ctrl-c and ctrl-v. :p

I would like Winamp in real life. Especially the skin changer. And I want a desktop background in real life. One that I can change on a whim. That's prettier than real life usually is.

Re: number 5: you should totally write anything with Giles in it. :D
So, I should write Tara with Giles in her... and Willow with Giles in her... and Xander with Giles in him... *brain goes to gutter*

Or possibly that's the three cups of Coke talking.

*waves*

Hey there, three cups of Coke! How are you this evening?

Oh dear. All I had was a cup of (admittedly very strong) machine tea with dinner and I'm bouncing off the walls. Well, rolling around the room in my rolling chair. Perhaps the fact that I haven't had any caffeine in several weeks has something to do with it ...

So, I should write Tara with Giles in her... and Willow with Giles in her... and Xander with Giles in him... *brain goes to gutter*

So glad you could join me here. :D

[wisdomeagle]

Yeah. I decided to celebrate being well enough to drink caffeine again? by drinking one can of Pibb X-Tra.

And one cup of caffeinated tea.

And three cups of Coke.

WHEEEEEEEE!

*mad orgy with three cups of Coke, a gutter, Mayhap, and Ari's brain*

WOOT!

Er, yeah.... *wheeeeeeeeeeee!*

Oh yeah! I vote for THIS one!!!!

3) I like to see fic organized by pairing. 'Cause there are some pairings that I won't touch with a bargepole, and I like to be warned beforehand. Also, I get in different grooves even for pairings I like. Btw, when I say pairing, I do mean individuals and NOT genres. The whole het/gen/slash differentiation bugs me, because someone who interprets characters differently based upon the sexual orientation is presenting a political agenda and not actually telling a story.

5) I will always go with Giles fic if I can get it. I love UST-ty B/G, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a single Giles/Tara story. That could be fascinating.

[wisdomeagle]

Thanks for the input on point 3)... might discuss more when not on phone.

In the meantime: All Tweedy And Sarcastic, which I'm billing as Tara/Giles (although verrry UST.) Enjoy. :)

3.) I like to see pages organised by show, then by pairing/gen. Again, that's partly because there are some pairings I avoid, and partly because I hone in on others.

Other than that, by date would only be good if there are so many stories that figuring out the new ones is difficult - but that can be just as effectively dealt with by having a new tag attached, or including date of posting on the index page.

6.) More McKay. Definitely :)
