astolat: (fandom sandbox by elke_tanzer)
Insta-rec: [livejournal.com profile] matociquala is serializing her novella Lucifugous on the Subterranean Press site, which I finally settled in to read this morning, and yum. If you like Sherlock Holmes eta: on consideration, I change my mind! Agatha Christie instead! or vampires or zeppelins, I highly recommend; heaps of slashy Victorian fun. It's currently up to Chapter 4.

Meanwhile, I raise my arms in victory! \o/ The Yuletide stories of the day post worked perfectly today (finally), totally automatically and on its own! woo! Hopefully now it will run steadily along until October. (How much do I love that we're already up to 16 NYR stories?)

Hugs and thanks to the anonymous pal who sent me the virtual gingerbread man for Yuletide -- I love him with his little broken-off head, hee. And seriously, thank you all -- it really felt like any time we were running around going off our heads, someone would say something cheering and encouraging, and we would get a nice happy glow.

I also have some super-fun icons from [livejournal.com profile] elke_tanzer to share with anyone who would enjoy them! ♥



(Elke's post here has the attribs to the original photographers.)



I have been mucking around some more with the del.icio.us recs script that I posted the other day, and have made it more generically useful -- you can now use it to offer multiple sets of recommendations based on whatever tags you name, and it will try and do author/fandom searching if you tag in the right format. Here you can see the revised version in action (the style has been customized to fit into my website, the default is still generic):

I've left the link to the script source the same just so it doesn't break for anyone who linked the last version, although I've renamed my own to "delicious_recs.cgi" instead of "yuletide_on_delicious.cgi", since I'm now using it more generally.

There is also code in the script that will figure out authors/fandoms if you have them bundled up on delicious, but sadly, it doesn't work unless you have a more recent version of the Net::Delicious module installed than Dreamhost does (I have an upgrade request in to support, which anyone else could feel free to second :D) If you *do* have that more recent version, or if it gets upgraded, that feature will just magically begin to work. Me, I am too lazy to go back and rename all my fandom tags, cough, so I am just going to wait, but in the meantime, the tag format is there for anyone who wants it.

GIPs!

astolat: sga team plays d&d with mixed results.  (atlantis magic missile)
Yes, uh, sorry for the spam? Soon I will return to my more typical week-long hibernation between posts, I am just kind of giddy right now at not being deathly ill and hacking up a lung anymore.

I have realized belatedly that I don't think I ever actually GIPped with the single BEST ICON EVER, created by [livejournal.com profile] liviapenn and compressed down with much teeth-gnashing by me; so here it is (not shareable, sorry! I am just gloating *g*).

ETA: and ahahaha, on a tip from [livejournal.com profile] amireal, I have tracked down the inspiration. *dies* (Although actually I think Livia's icon is funnier!)

ETA2: OMG, [livejournal.com profile] dsudis makes the EXCELLENT POINT that someone has to make an SGA dread gazebo icon now. Please? Someone? *hopeful*

Also, [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza basically says what I've got to say about Friday's SG1/SGA (and actually pretty much hits my attitude towards Pirates on the side, for that matter) over here, and in the comments, inspires the following icon (which is shareable, feel free to grab, no credit necessary).
