Nnnrrgh. Been doing AO3 work for about 12 hours now - we've been making some changes to try to alleviate the load on our database, and this required some fine-tuning, which still isn't quite done yet. We'll have a real news post out tomorrow, but we did add the long-awaited filtering by whether a work is complete or not, filtering by language on main pages, and sorting by the date things were actually posted, so that if you're stalking a fandom, you can see what the new backdated works are. We also fixed the dreaded 500 error that came up if you were the first person to download a file! And we finished transitioning all of our javascript over to jQuery, which was a pretty significant project. And a bunch of other things - there were 57 issues in this release. Go team!

In other news:

-Here is a fic about the Brotherhood of Mutants adopting a kitten. You're welcome.

-I am finally all caught up with Fringe again! Olivia is my favorite, forever and ever, amen. And I'm very happy that we get to keep Lincoln. Too sleepy to have any deeper thoughts.

Is that what that was? I've been the 1st downloader for a lot of files! :)

[elz]

Yep - even though we had code to prevent it, it would try to send the file before it was done being written. But just think of all the people who came after you who got those stories error-free! It's like an accidental service to the community. :P

[elz]

Sure! We'll probably have an official post up later today.

What spectacular tiimng for this thread! I love everything posted so far!I'm finishing up my BFA in Studio Arts with a concentration in Drawing. Looking to get my MFA in Painting. I love ball point pens, watercolor, and oil paint. has several of my pieces. But I thought these would be of particular interest. These are pieces from my Star Stuff series (and they just got finished last week.) They're watercolor, ball point pen & ink.
