Today I didn't move anything, really, but I DID go through a lot of flat-storage stuff! Moved a lot of prints around so they're better organised/protected, got rid of some things (mostly old calendars), and while I don't have anything really FIXED for some of the problem stuff at least it's neater. It's a start!

That did eat a LOT of brain, though, so I'm glad I didn't have any furniture moving I had to get done today. We still haven't heard from the window people, so still in limbo about that. :/ Tomorrow will involve moving things no matter what, though, just not my stuff - I'll need to help Mama out with putting things on the nature strip for hard rubbish collection. Zero chance of my father doing it, as he has a colonoscopy in the morning. (I'm glad to be on the moving things side of this equation, ngl...)

Other than that, played some multiplayer Terraria again! :D Which was very fun. And I also played a bunch on my solo world; lots of hell landscaping. Should really do more fishing down there, I still need an endless lava bucket... It would be easier to just use a lava sponge to get rid of lava pools in the lower caverns, rather than drain it down into hell, after all, even if it is a useful mapping activity as well... Will have to think about it.

It's time to sign up for the December WIP challenge! Some people join the challenge mid month, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways. For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.

Sign-ups will be open until the end of December.


    Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
    Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
    What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
    What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
    How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
    Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you


Copypaste below:



The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

The first secret from this batch will be posted on December 6th.



RULES:
1. One secret link per comment.
2. 750x750 px or smaller.
3. Link directly to the image.

More details on how to send a secret in!

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

Optional #2: If you would like WARNINGS (such as spoilers or common triggers -- list of some common ones here) to be noted in the main post before the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret.

Optional #3: If you would like a transcript to be posted along with your secret, put it along with the link in the comment!

tyger: Gwendal, facepalming. (Gwendal - facepalm)

Fairly quiet day today, too - didn't do any moving of stuff. DID go for a walk with Mama, and also fixed my domain problem, so all my homeserver things are working again, phew!

That's about all, though. Which was nice. Though Sushi DID do a dumb again... but is late so just have the chatlog, yes.

[01:37] Tyger: Want to hear today's Sushi Idiocy story?
[01:38] Azremodehar: oh no what did him do
[01:38] Tyger: He decided to walk along the curtain rail
[01:38] Tyger: Which went okay. Until he got to the end and realised the bookshelf he'd usually step onto is... not there right now.
[01:39] Tyger: So he had to go backwards
[01:39] Azremodehar: oh no
[01:39] Tyger: He managed like three quarters of the way until he lost his balance! And he didn't fall the whole way, he clung on with his front paws. So I was able to boost him up and he made if off just fine. [01:40] Tyger: But seriously, cat, REALLY??
[01:40] Azremodehar: him ver adventursome
[01:40] Tyger: His cone was scraping across the wall the entire time I do not know why that wasn't enough to make him realise Maybe Not Right Now
[01:40] Azremodehar: :facepalmtachi:
