So it's been a while! I've been busy, you know, the fucking insane silly season, school holidays, playing minecraft, oh, and the Fanexus Beta.

It's really so cool. The tagging system alone *swoon*

Here's my profile/blog/whatever you want to call it:

Blogs aren't customisable in beta, but apparently that's a thing on the roadmap for the future.

One of the things that I like the most is the ability to have different aliases, or blogs, on the same account. Being able to switch between identities with a click is amazing, especially for someone like me who does keep completely separate identities in fandom (I separated due to having a kid in fandom - my child does not need to know where to find my fanfiction 🤣).

So far on the site (which is absolutely a functioning site right now) there is a lot of art being shared, and a decent amount of fic, and some meta and headcanons and general squee 🥳 Yes, the demographic is young, but there are no minors on the site yet. There are a few of us fandom olds there, but we could definitely do with some more! I'm also dying to see some more Supernatural content that I haven't been the one to post ;)

If you're curious, best to get on the beta discord asap, as discord members are being let on in stages. Here is the Fanexus Discord Application - it says 'forum' on the app, but the discord is where all the action is and where you'll then go on to the beta site :D

ETA: I can't believe I forgot to rave about another amazing feature - following tags! Like you can follow your fave tags and the stuff you're into just gets delivered into your feed like...IT'S SO COOL.

I've been real quiet around here lately and it's all Fanexus' fault. I've been hanging out on the discord a lot where we're all just bouncing around doing little impatience dances and waiting for the beta to launch.

It's so exciting seeing it take shape as each new feature is announced.

I think what I'm most hyped for is aliases. Like, one account, but up to 3 blogs, usernames, feeds. Three completely separate selfs! I can be vamp, and be all SFW and not panic if my kid looks me up, but I can also be [AO3 PSEUD REDACTED] and just let all my problematic fic hang out without the two identities being connected AND without having to log in and out all the time because who can be arsed with that?

Also looking forward to following tags. And blocking tags. Being able to play in fandom without having to scroll past the screeds of popular-ship-I-cannot-abide.

And I'm looking forward to fandoming without fear again. Because it's been too fucking long.

Turning off comments on your works | Archive of Our Own

In the next few days, we will be adding a new option that allows work creators to turn off comments. The option will be available on the forms for posting or editing individual works as well as the form for updating multiple works at once, and we've done some minor rearranging of the forms to accommodate the new option.

Holy crap, this is huge. For those who maybe cannot deal with comments (sometimes they're scary) or who simply don't care (valid), this is brilliant.

Started watching Hannibal for the second time (the first time I didn't really get into it).

First season, and I'm thinking: hannigram? I don't get it. I want to get it, but I don't.

Second season: HERE IT IS

Yeah, that's all. I'm not very talkative lately, just kinda wanted to record that. Taking a break to catch up on Outlander before I hit the third season.
