silveradeptGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-in post for 18 August 02019.
In things that I did that nobody is necessarily proud of me for, I successfully changed a toilet fill and float apparatus today, when the one that had been in there sprung a leak and did not do the thing it was supposed to any more.
In things that everybody should be way, way, proud of, The Archive of Our Own won a Hugo Award as the Best Related Work at the World Science Fiction Convention in Dublin this year. Which is a winner both for the technical prowess behind archiving, indexing, tagging, translating, and all of the data and metadata stuff that happens in such a way that the only time you notice it is when it's borked, but also for each and every one of the five million (and still counting) works currently archived there and the authors, commenters, bhookmarks, recs, and kudos involved in providing works and a limited community for them to participate with. Congratulations, me, you, and everyone else who has worked on or contributed to AO3. You are now a Hugo Award-winning fan-creator!
Put most of my effort today into finishing up a Giving-of-Grief post and starti9ng another, even when I was rudely interrupted by adulting requirements (see above).
Author reveals happened for an archive I participated in. Which means the work I contributed got its first kudo from one of my regular subscribers. (Yay!) I hope the work that revealed yesterday doesn't follow the same pattern, but you never know.

Date: 2019-08-19 04:06 am (UTC)I'm so happy about AO3, too. One of the few internet-related things I don't have mixed feelings about.
I've taken the weekend off again (Sat and Sun) but will be back at the computer again tomorrow. M.

…okay I think maybe I was unclear…

Date: 2019-08-19 05:10 am (UTC)Eh, those are the sorts of things that are supposed to be part of a Standard Education for dude-looking people - how to fix the things.
no subject
Date: 2019-08-19 05:48 am (UTC)200 words even, after deleting some words and moving a scene. writing a groundhog day au style fic is hard, moving anything becomes an ordeal in maintaining emotional continuity and figuring out what loop fits where. properly editing this thing is going to be a slog.
no subject
Date: 2019-08-19 06:54 am (UTC)Oh, groundhog day loops are hard. Its why, when I wrote one, I stopped at three tines around, and not all that many of them looked like any of the others.
no subject
Date: 2019-08-19 06:45 pm (UTC)would that I could get away with just a few loops ;; alas, i would not be able to achieve believable character growth with this character so quickly. though I may yet cut things down significantly when I get to editing.
