Shoot, posting late even though I knew what I was going to post.

What would your pup’s band name be?

I use Tuta.de for my email hosting and I've downloaded the Tuta app for my email client. It's set to not show images by default, just placeholders.

I get a lot of email from RPG sellers of various types. I get a RIDICULOUS amount of email from political organizations.

I do not always look at the Sender part of the message first, as the Tuta client uses a smaller font for the sender and other information than most senders specify for their default body text. Some of the senders use VERY LARGE text for an eye-grab at the top of their emails before going on to the regular lettering.

All of which is a roundabout way to say that for a few gloriously entertaining seconds I thought I had an email from the people at the Women's March that began with “WE ARE THE FURY OF THE STORM AND THE PITILESS WRATH OF ENDLESS WINTER.”

Yet again, the world I see out of the corner of my eye is way more entertaining than what's there when I look at it directly.

Yuletide letter

Thank you so much for writing for me. I love Yuletide, one of my favorite parts of winter. I know how heavy these fandoms can be so if there's any darkness, add some light too. My favorite sorts of stories are missing moments, character studies and that feel as if they fit within the world of the canon.

I love all of these fandoms because of the depth of the worlds and the characters, I enjoy action and plot if it fits. When a writer can pull off a complex plot, I love it as that's something I'm not good at writing. If you choose to include sex and violence, I ask that if they're there; no rape/dubcon or torture. All of the ones I've asked for are from worlds with difficult aspects to them and I enjoy how the characters interact with and are changed by what's around them. Also even though I've only requested one or two characters, all of these canons revolve around large and complex casts, so please add others into the mix.

Turns out you can reopen a closed Etsy shop almost any time you want as long as you make sure to back it up with an active credit card and renew all your listings. I've closed the shop, contacted the colo place to cancel my subscription, and informed the City of Boston that I am no longer in business and will not be renewing my permit this year.

Anyone interested in jewelry from me, ask me about holiday or birthday gifts instead.

Considering shutting down my Etsy store. Haven't actually made jewelry in months (mostly I've been sewing instead), haven't made a sale in months, and since the Etsy store isn't in my legal name I have to have a DBA certificate, which means I have to have a business address, and since I rent an apartment I can't actually operate the business out of the apartment due to insurance issues (I checked with the landlord). Neither Boston nor the town I live in will let a business register with a PO box as their primary address so I have to pay monthly fees at a colocation space and that's expensive. It makes no sense to keep the Etsy store existing if I'm not actually making enough jewelry to need to sell any of it off.

If anyone has an alternative to colo that means I don't have to pay more per month than I actually ever sold (I made a profit for a while some time back but the colo space upped their prices and now there's nowhere in Boston that charges a reasonable price for just having their address rather than actually using their space), let me know.

Does your pup dream? If so how vivid are they? 

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Mrgh. Monday.

What are your pup's sleeping habits? Can they nod off anywhere? Do they sleep lightly or like the dead? What's their bedroom or sleeping quarters like? etc.

What are the weird or apparently inconsequential hills you'd die on regarding your pups and their canon?

Are there any weird hills your pup would die on? ("X-Wings are better than the Millennium Falcon", say.)
