 It is spring, horrible, annoying, windy, pollen-ridden spring.  The plantains are blooming.  I know they're blooming as my nose is running.  Meh.

It is also flea and mosquito season, also not my favorite time.  After reading that Benedryl crosses the blood:brain barrier, my most useful resource is no longer going to be my usual one.  What will replace that wonder drug?  Probably a lot of mumbling, "Don't scratch.  Don't scratch!"  Losing something that really works on my allergic reactions is one thing, but Benedryl also helped me get some sleep.  Insomniac.  The only plus side to insomnia is getting to listen to the owls and the migrating geese.  

And, the last of the triple whammy: it's weeding season.  The grasses have gone insane, showing up in places they haven't been before and bringing their friends.  This year's expensive home improvement is supposed to be paving the walkways.  We found a contractor.  That is amazing.  Very few people want to do that sort of physical work any more.  I sure don't.  We put in sandstone pavers back in the nineties, when we were in our thirties.  Sixties-era backs are not feeling up to that.  If we can't afford to do everything I would like to set into pavers, then maybe we can manage the south side.  

We just discovered For All Mankind on Apple.  Wow.  Great storytelling, good actors, and terrifying attention to detail.  This is an alternate history telling of the space race, with the Soviets getting to the moon first.  We're halfway through the first season, and when I'm not having PTSD from all the sexism, I'm riveted.  This is just what I needed.

Still slowly re-reading the Chronicles of St Mary's.  I wish the Kindle editions would reliably link the next in the series.  I think I'm on the next to the last (minus the short stories and the Time Police), but kinda not sure, either.

So for as long as I’ve been working there (like . . . a month, lol), there’s been this cat at the shelter we will call Dostoevsky. That was not his name but he definitely looked like the kind of grumpy old man who read a lot of grim Russian literature, in the way some cats can, so that’s what we will call him.

Dostoevsky lived in a cage out in the back section of the shelter, in one of the parts the public aren’t allowed to go, even though he was up for adoption. He was also the guy who blooded me on my first day. And, once I’d mentioned it, apparently all the women, at least once, even though all the notes on his chart were about how sweet and friendly he was.

Dostoevsky had FIV and his pupils were slanted inwards, and he freaking loved food. In retrospect I think this is why he swiped at me on my first day; I don’t think his eyesight was great and he got mad about a stranger reaching in to take his food bowl. Once he learnt I was the one who put new food in it we stopped having that problem, though he also liked bolting out of his cage the second the door was open, and did not particularly like being picked up. Meaning we had a few wrestling matches and had a relationship that could be generously described as "difficult."

While You Were Sleeping fic, and writing meta

Apr. 3rd, 2026 01:33 pm
china_shop: You can't wait for inspiration to strike. You have to go after it with a club. (writing - inspiration)
[personal profile] china_shop
Article 48 [Restriction on Acceptance of Engagement] (7647 words) by china_shop [Teen and Up]
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 당신이 잠든 사이에 | While You Were Sleeping (TV)
Relationships: Han Woo Tak/Jung Jae Chan/Nam Hong Joo
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Threesome - F/M/M, Getting Together, Prophetic Dreams, Found Family
Summary:

“Woo Tak, you haven’t left home yet, right?” Hong Joo’s voice comes down the line with the familiar confidence of long-standing friendship. “Don’t drive. You’ll get stuck in traffic, and you’ll miss your test.”

Woo Tak momentarily forgets his place in her life. His crush is usually manageable, but this morning, taken off-guard, he can’t suppress a kindling warmth, nor the smile that accompanies it. “Nam Hong Joo, have you been dreaming about me from all the way over in Australia?”



This request came up for pinch hit around the time I defaulted on Yuletide, and I thought, well, if I can't manage my assignment, I'll at least do a treat. Especially since I'd nominated While You Were Sleeping (one of my long-standing tiny Kdrama fandoms). But in the end, this foundered too. Turns out partners having operations is not great for my writing productivity.

So since mid-February (I think?!), I've been finishing the draft, re-writing, and re-re-writing. I came up against successive problems, and I want to document them here, because I know these issues are cropping up in my writing generally, of late.

  1. Internal/external consistency: one of the big problems with my first few drafts was: Character A decides to do X and continues to believe they're doing X while actually doing Y. In other words, the external dialogue and actions contradict the internal monologue in a way that is not deliberate and just comes across as confusing and nonsensical. ("I've decided not to tell them how I feel... except that I keep hinting without acknowledging that.") I'm sure there are deliberate ways to do this that can be very effective. This was not that.

    Solution: step outside the POV and look at what the character is actually doing. Then signpost reversals and the reasons for them.

  2. Cue words/flow: one of Matt Bell's newsletters a while back quoted Robert McKee talking about cue words:
    [E]very reaction[...] needs an action to prompt it.

    Therefore, ideally, the last word or phrase of each speech is the core word that seals meaning and cues a reaction from the other side of the scene. [...] A miscue happens when a core word is placed too early in Character A’s line and prompts a reaction from Character B, but because Character A has more words to recite, Actor B must swallow her response and wait while Actor A finishes performing his speech.

    In prose, this isn't just about external reaction, but internal reaction too. If the POV character's internal monologue isn't reacting to the last thing that happened/was said, then the reader is left scrambling to make connections with something that might have happened lines or paragraphs back, or which might not be there at all. I find I'm particularly prone to this when I have a lot of meta thoughts I'm trying to include in the POV's internal monologue.

    Solution: restructure so that the reactions directly follow on from the thing that caused them, and make sure that meta thoughts flow naturally, each one prompted by the last, in a way that fits the overall arc/direction of the scene (keeping in mind that it's perfectly fine to have reversals).

  3. Location of conversation/theory of mind: I've been finding lately that my POV characters often conduct a huge amount of the story just inside their heads, even when there's someone else there. They have all these thoughts and feelings to process! It's a lot! And then occasionally the other person says something, setting off a new cascade of thoughts and feelings. But most people have theories about what the people they're talking with are thinking, how they're feeling, what they're trying to achieve. Conversations, especially romantic ones, usually work better when the focus is shared between the POV character's internal thoughts, and their assessment of what is happening externally.

    Solution: make the other party to the conversation more active. And make the POV character react to them, as well as their own internal stuff.

  4. Direction/progress of scenes: I touched on this above, but it deserves its own point. Because I discovery write, I find it easy to take a very meandery path from the start of the scene to where I want to end up. In fanfic, this isn't fatal because we all enjoy spending time with our characters. But it can undercut tension and test readers' comprehension. It's something I want to work on.

    Solution: structure scenes so that there's a sense of progress, with only one or two reversals, not flip-flopping every few paragraphs.

Anyway, things to think about. Things to work on. I'm super grateful to [personal profile] teaotter for multiple beta rounds, helping me figure some of this stuff out. And I'm looking forward to applying these lessons to my current WIP, which oh dear, really needs it. ;-)

♥ Dog
DNA test has been administered. This will test the requirement that the swab be in the dog's mouth for at least 30 seconds, as Daphne was not super keen on that idea, and it is unclear how much DNA is actually on the swab as a result. That's okay! I'm sure they receive questionable tests all the time, and there was nothing on their website about what happens if the swab is insufficient. Perhaps a small amount of DNA is acceptable for a small dog?

♥ Plants
Dahlias are not quite touching the light above them and still show no signs of sunburn, so I have not yet intervened. I did turn down the replacement light in the other room, as the inch plant has turned a vibrant purple and the leaves of the multi-colored geranium are now variegated, both of which indicate high light levels. This particular light has five levels of brightness, and of course I started it on the brightest setting. Turning it down is less straightforward, since I bought it because I already have one just like it that the plants love.

The issue is that the brightness can only be adjusted by remote control, and the remote control is not light-specific. This has already meant that the lights are always both on or both off, so they're on the same schedule, which is fine. But now it has a new effect, which oddly is not "the lights are always at the same brightness level." Instead, apparently I can have both lights very bright, I can have one light at half-brightness and the other at full, or I can have one light at the lowest setting and the other at half. I am not sure why this is. (I have tried aiming the remote at each of the lights, aiming the remote away from each of the lights, etc., though I have not done dedicated proximity research, so it's still possible the effect of the remote can be further isolated.)

For now I have one bright and one half-bright. It's a partly cloudy day on that side of the room.

♥ The Untamed
[personal profile] ranalore says the sword was not possessed until Lan Zhan arrived and put the arm ghost ("probably a sword spirit") in it! So that explains why it could be used to fight the arm (and lose), but takes away the explanation of how the arm ghost came to be at the Mo estate in the first place. (I assume Huaisang still brought it, but how?)

As I was telling [personal profile] galadhir, I started episode 1 just enjoying Sizhui and Jingyi and Wei Ying, but by the end of it I was genuinely interested in the mystery. I assume episode 2 will explain nothing and introduce further variation with the origin of the dancing fairy (maybe just a dancing statue, in The Untamed?) but [personal profile] ranalore promises there is donkey lore, so I am ready.

Just found out I've been waitlisted for the Anacortes Arts Festival. This after having been there--and selling extremely well--every year since 2013. I guess they really do have blind jurying, because there's no way the organization would want to pass up the 10% commission I make them.

Honestly, I was beginning to wonder whether it was time to pull back from some of my more stressful shows. Maybe they've made the decision for me? 

Time will tell.

Previous poll review
In the Favourites poll, 63% of respondents have a favourite colour, 23.9% said sort of, and 8.7% said no. In ticky-boxes, rainbows came second to hugs, 68.8% to 87.5%. Raccoon chefs came third with 43.8%. Thank you for your votes! ♥

Reading
Still listening to The Hymn to Dionysus by Natasha Pulley, read by Sid Sagar. At this stage, I'm enjoying the worldbuilding most of all. (Why is ancient xenophobia, eg, Thebians hating on Athenians, amusing, when its modern counterpart is the worst?)

Still dipping into Refuse to Be Done: How to Write and Rewrite a Novel in Three Drafts by Matt Bell. I'm still in the drafting part, which has lots of strategies and good things to think about, but doesn't seem like it will get you a clean first draft. Like, that is not at all his goal.

Kdramas
I've nearly finished my immediate rewatch of One Spring Night. Will I manage not to go straight back to the beginning, or will it be like that time I had Maroon Five's Songs About Jane in my car tape deck for maybe three years straight? (Note to self: potential Yuletide fandom; I would love future fic about teenage Eun-u and his relationship with his new mother (and cousin(s) and possible younger siblings), and also his sort-of-outsider POV on his parents' relationship.)

Finished Undercover Miss Hong, which was sweet and fun. Not a favourite for me, but enjoyable, and I'm glad I watched.

I'm in the market for something new. I started Phantom Lawyer (about a fledging lawyer who sees ghosts and takes them on as clients; yes, it's a shaky business model), but Andrew's watching it with me, so that's an evening thing. I need something else to lure me onto my exercise machine.

I tried episode 1 of The Practical Guide to Love, for Han Ji-Min, but am not convinced. (Is anyone else watching it? Does it pick up?) Also, a little more of While You Were Sleeping, but either VIKI or I have forgotten where I'm up to. No Love Scout this week or last, due to illness.

Other TV
The Pitt. Ahhhh, my favourite weekly stressbomb.

A few more episodes of The Madison, which continues to be pretty; continues to push the message that cities are trash, versus country living, which is wholesome and full of community, and inspires personal growth. Somehow, the appearance of a love interest has turned me off the whole thing, and I don't even know why. Genre shift? Also, (can I be spoilery? does anyone care?)
not even really spoilers there are all these flashbacks to Conversations from a Marriage between Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, and every single one of these takes place in New York while Michelle Pfeiffer is in the bath. After a while, I concluded that actually these conversations had happened all over the place (at brunch, in the street, in Central Park, in bed), but Michelle Pfeiffer's character's bereavement/grief means she can only conceptualise them as bath conversations. And then Andrew said that soon there'd be flashbacks of her friends in the bath with her, too, and now I can't take them seriously at all. (Also, she must have been so pruney after shooting all those bath scenes!)


Rooster, Cheers, and Scrubs season 1. A little bit of SurrealEstate. Paper Girls with Ed. Fringe and Bluey with my sister.

Online life
520 Day Guardian Reverse Exchange modding behind the scenes, yay! Part 2 of sign-ups closes tomorrow, then it's matching, and then things will quieten down for a bit. | A lot of beta. :-) | My computer went into a crashing spiral a couple of days ago, and I started worrying (DNW to upgrade from Windows 11 to a subscription model!), but the culprit appears to have been a faulty flashdrive. Now I've removed that, things have calmed down. *knocks on wood, makes a backup*

Writing/making things
I finished a fic in March (by the skin of my teeth)! Hooray! So happy about that. I'll post about it separately.

I'm still having thoughts about my other started-for-Yuletide WIP, but I've fallen into the "I'll just ~quickly~ get this done before switching to my exchange assignment" trap before, and that way lies desperate last-minute scrambles up against the deadline, especially when I'm going so slowly. So I'm putting WIP #2 on hold until I at least have a 520 Day draft... which is why I'm writing this update, rather than racing to finish a fic that simply cannot be completed in two busy days.

Life/health/mental state things
Things are good. A bit hamster-wheel-esque, but at least my arms are hanging in there. | I'm looking forward to next week when Writers' Hour goes to 8am NZ time, and I can find a new rhythm for my day that somehow includes exercise. (Summers are great because I exercise first thing and then it's done.) | It's a long weekend, with a bunch of family stuff going on. My other-city-based brother (not to be confused with my US-based brother) is coming to dinner tonight for the first time in roughly a decade.

Cat
Halle really likes burrowing; I think she may be part mole. Sometimes I go into the bedroom, and a lump in the bedclothes starts letting out little warning "don't sit on me" meeps.

Car
I stopped driving on about 6 March because, you know, petrol prices. Which meant of course that when I tried to drive to lunch on Wednesday, my battery was completely flat, and I had to call NZAA and go for a long drive to recharge my battery. This seems like a terrible, inefficient system. Why can't my car just sit there, primed, until I (rarely) want it? Bah! I've considered getting rid of it entirely, but we're heading into winter, so idk.

Good things
So many hot cross buns, srsly! I finished a fic, after many many rewrites, yay!!!!! Family stuff will probably be good and will definitely come with delicious food!

Better Memory For Photography

Apr. 2nd, 2026 03:21 pm

Top Memory Cards
Top Memory Cards

Thanks to AI sucking up as much solid state memory as it can hoard, memory for consumer devices (phones, computers, etc.) is getting scarce and/or much more expensive. With Sony Suspending Shipments of Memory Cards, photographers have a vested interest in the situation. Prices are rising and supplies are dwindling.

Last year was an expensive year for photography (tariffs! 3 cameras! 3 NIKKOR Z lenses!). This year is a quiet recovery year, with no equipment purchases expected. Consequently, I didn’t feel bad spending some of my tax refund money this year on three memory cards – before CFexpress B cards got to be hard to find or a lot more expensive. Last year I bought CFexpress cards for my Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z6 before I got Thom Hogan’s Nikon Z8 Guide. What I learned in Thom’s guide book is that SanDisk and Lexar memory cards are bad (generate excessive heat) and that Delkin and ProGrade are the best (highest performance, lowest heat). I also learned not to get big (256GB or larger) memory cards. I generally take Thom’s advice.

So I made the command decision to replace my SanDisk / Lexar CFexpress B cards with optimal Delkin CFexpress B cards. B&H Photo had exactly what I needed (as recommended by Thom). The prices for the premium memory cards were only about 15% higher than equivalent SanDisk or Lexar cards (excluding sale pricing). On Monday, I placed an order, and the memory cards arrived today. I bought three cards – two for my Z8 and one for my Z6. The current SanDisk / Lexar cards will serve as spares/overflow memory.

Hopefully, this is the extent of my photography upgrades for the year.

AO3 is Exiting Open Beta!

Apr. 2nd, 2026 05:16 pm
[syndicated profile] ao3_news_feed

https://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/34626

AO3 Update

We're excited to announce that we're exiting open beta! We've come a long way from when we announced and launched AO3 open beta in 2009.

At launch, there were just 347 AO3 accounts and 6,598 works. While we started growing very quickly, we were originally much more limited in what we could do.

Did you know that AO3 invitations were originally sent out manually by individual AO3 volunteers? During our initial rapid growth, we were still only sending out about 1200 invitations per day, and eventually tapered off to 50 per day. Today, we send around 6,000 invitations every 12 hours. Our old news posts also include fun stats about what AO3's user base and works looked like in 2009, which you can compare to the stats post we recently shared in January to see how far we've come.

What's Changed Since Then

Since 2009, AO3 has grown and changed a lot. We've introduced many features over the years through the efforts of our volunteers and coding contributors, as well as the contractors we've been able to hire thanks to generous donations from our users. While there are a lot of additions we're proud of, some of our favorites include:

Looking at where we are now in 2026, we recently celebrated 10 million registered users and 17 million fanworks! We're grateful for all the fans that have accompanied us all this time—all of our accomplishments are thanks to you!

Some recent improvements we've made include adding new options to bookmark and collections filtering and updating all of the buttons at the bottom of the forms for posting, previewing, or editing a work to make them more user-friendly.

What's Next for AO3 and How You Can Help

As the AO3 software has been stable for a long time, the change is mostly cosmetic and does not indicate that everything is finalized or perfectly working. Exiting beta doesn't mean we'll stop continuing to improve AO3—our volunteer coders and community contributors will still be working to add to and improve AO3 every day. For one, it’s likely you’ll continue to see references to us being in beta for a while as we update our documentation.

If you'd like to see what issues are being worked on, check out our project on Jira. This is a public list of all the bugs and features that are on the to-do list for our coders.

If you're familiar with coding and would like to contribute your time, we welcome contributions from anyone! Take a look at our Contributing Guidelines and other documentation on GitHub. All contributors are credited in our release notes.

If you're interested in helping AO3 but don't have any coding ability, consider volunteering for one of the other teams that work on AO3 or contributing to AO3 in some other way.

If you have a feature request or bug to report, please contact AO3 Support. Support handles communication between users and the various teams involved with AO3. The Support team helps to resolve technical problems experienced by users and passes on users' feedback to the relevant committees.

Circular badge with the words 'I was here for beta' with an AO3 logo

For all the fans who were part of our beta journey from 2009 until today, here's a badge for you, as a small thank you for your support! You're welcome to display this badge on social media, your AO3 profile, or any other website of your choosing. For example, if you want to display the badge in your AO3 profile, add this HTML tag: <img src="https://media.archiveofourown.org/news/ao3-updates/2026-04-leaving-beta/badge-english.png" alt="Circular badge with the words 'I was here for beta' with an AO3 logo"> into the "About Me" section in your profile. If you’d like more information on how to embed images, refer to our Posting and Editing FAQ or our guide on how to format HTML on AO3!

We are deeply appreciative and grateful for all the support we've gotten from fans since we were founded, so let us be the first to say: Welcome to Post-Beta AO3!

The Organization for Transformative Works is the non-profit parent organization of multiple projects including Archive of Our Own, Fanlore, Open Doors, OTW Legal Advocacy, and Transformative Works and Cultures. We are a fan-run, donor-supported organization staffed by volunteers. Find out more about us on our website.
