A short history of everything

[kangeiko]

My month of craziness continues. I've worked out that I haven't gone for more than three days without DRAMA!!!!11!! appearing on my doorstep. In some cases, it's been horrifyingly serious. In others, it's been vaguely amusing, and easily dealt with. Still DRAMA!!!11!!, though, whichever way you look at it. I haven't been sleeping well.

Stuff:
+ Fandom: I've hit 66 stories on my 100fandoms table. This makes me ludicrously happy. The prompts are becoming even harder now, with fandoms I'm not very familair with. The quality is teriorating somewhat, but I suppose that can't be helped. I haven't been terribly focused for these last few weeks, anyway, so producing fic that makes sense was always going to be a challenge.

+ LJ asshattery: actually, they're not being asshats at the moment. Their recent statement was rather professional. Unfortunately, I don't actually believe them, and don't even want to try. Fool me once, etc. Amusingly, I got an email today from the Better Business Buerau, where I filed my official complaint against 6A's conduct during this time. They've looked at my complaint, deemed it an actual complaint, and have forwarded it to 6A to address. They now have until 28 August to respond... I'll let you know what, if anything, I get in reply.

+ Life: I mentioned the DRAMA!!!11!! already, yes? Things have been all over the place. Oddly, I'm ok with that. Not ok with some of what's happened, but ok with getting through it. Even where I can't do a damned thing, I still feel a lot more in control of myself and a lot more useful. There, that was suitably cryptic.

+ World: I honestly wonder if the world is ending. I know that sounds crazy and all, but I'm getting back in the habit of reading my 'development news' bulletins, which means that a sizeable portion of my day is now once again filled with death and carnage. It makes you wonder.

+ Work&school: Because they are entwined, like lovers. Really twisted, boring lovers who like books. Boring books. OK, enough of that. I have about a week of work left, then am on holiday for a few days. Then back to work for, ooooh, three whole days, then on actual holiday. A week after I come back from actual holiday, I'm back in college, prepping for finals. I mentioned the DRAMA!!11!! bit, right? This month has been very bitty.

+ Books: I've read several. I should review and update my reading list, right?

+ Webpage: or lack thereof. I've been um-ing and ah-ing about setting up a space where I can put all my fic in one place, and stop faffinf about with using LJ and IJ and who knows what else as archival spaces. Any ideas on a suitable provider in the UK, not too expensive for a really small, compact website? (And a web editor that won't scare me into leaving this for another year?)

+ Boys: I have a date tomorrow.

Also? My robot brain needs beer tea.

+ Webpage: If you like I could (a) host you on a subdomain of freaky.nu for nuffink, or (b) host you on my reseller account (if you want your own domain name) for £20/yr. If you don't want to html it all by hand, you could install something like eFiction on the latter.

I'm randomly dropping by while doing universe_today update, but have you concidered voxpopulli who offer cheap hosting for fannish websites? They recently offered free hosting to small sites and I think the offer might still be open.
