Realizations made during a repost spree
Jun. 26th, 2023 02:15 pmSo! I spent last night reposting a bunch of PSO2 entries from Cohost b/c sigh the content guideline update--technically nothing I posted in a public entry violated the new rules but i mean. feel they're just restrictive enough to make any anime/jRPG shipfic writing complicated, so it's best not to use it for that purpose. Might use it for non-fandom hobbies like photography and music sharing but idk that might be Too Much Posting to keep up with. anyway, that will take a few more days to complete but in case you had a burning need to read, or re-read, something i wrote between March and May about minor characters in a gacha jRPG, you can do that now! how EXCITING!!!
- Made a bunch of new tags to sort entries by pairing and discovered it's really easy to make cutesy smushnames with Varuna ships (just stick "runa" wherever you want!) but couldn't think of anything for Luther/Casra that didn't sound awful, same with Ash/Afin.
- Need a whole bunch of character and pairing icons tbh. technically you can never have too many icons, but I literally only have a few for PSO2, RIP.
- I forgot that dreamwidth has pretty decent support for inline CSS and HTML tags so maybe some of the image/text styling generators I was using for cohost will work here...? Would be great if could keep using nex3's image grid for screenshot posts.
- In retrospect, a blogging platform that allows for anonymous commenting is probably a better solution than DMing several people on discord with links to posts I think they would like. i struggle with real-time chat to the poin that I'll avoid messaging people even when I want to talk to them because I know I won't be able to maintain a conversation. A comment thread is so much easier for me to approach and respond to...correspondence over chatting, I guess!
- it's cool that i can backdate posts so i don't flood people's reading pages with my reposts lol
