Have been talking to someone about possibly moving slashfest to its own webdomain like yuletide does. Then - slashfest would become more like the yuletide comm - where things are discussed and hashed out and announced.

It'd be a bit different as the two fests are completely different. Plus - I have a few things I'd like to see improved upon from their website. And the whole make a request, claim thing is quite a bit different, too. But the basic premise is still there.

Pros: the site uploads the requests and claims for me, making it easier to organize. Also allows for automatic uploading by the participants with their fics. Can set up coding in the site to track dropouts and bannings for the various rounds. Can also set up coding to do the purging of the requests that are no longer valid.

Cons: people bitch about the lack of comments now and I'm not sure that commenting would go up at the website. I mean, if people can't hit the comment button at the bottom of a post, I doubt they'd be willing to click a link on a website.

What do you guys think of the feasibility of it? Take it off LJ and have it more automated and, imho, more polished? Honesty set to "on" plz. I can take the concrit, really :D. This is, obviously, just something in the beginning stages so the more input, the better. I want to get it hashed out as best I can here before I take it to the main comm as you guys speak "wookese" and stuffs.

Comment away and, as soon as I get back from Fry's, I'll be responding!

Fry's messed up my schedule. I'm working 14 days in a row. Of which - 10 of them are 15 hours of WORK, 2 hours commute and an hour for lunch. I do not think I am sleeping much in the next week yet.

Am stuck working on Mother's Day which doesn't make me happy. But - oh well. It's money and considering how much I just spent on Mother's Day - I need it. Especially considering that I went out and bought an iPod with my economic stimulus package check. Finally. It's a bright blue iPod nano. This thing had better not die like those on my flist have. *waggles finger at it* It is made of win, though. I got the iTrip and now I have music in my car again!

I know you all are probably all o.O over the whole Ollian thing (yes, I hear the cries of STFU already) but GOD, they are eating my brain. They're like my favorite fic cliches. They're sort of mates, they're definitely flatmates and they have this slow slide into a relationship and once they get to a certain point, they drop off into the hottest stuffs. Though - there is a marked lack of snogging lately. Also - a marked lack of snuggling. And shirtlessness. And sex.

The fanvid eating my brain:

hd_worldcup posted the last set of stories so get out there and read and vote! You have a week free of posting to go to town during! Don't forget that you can drabble and/or comment pr0n during the week, too!

I'm always amazed at how free some people are with their personal information online. I linked from a link to a link to a link and I discovered someone's entire real life down to photos and addresses. I just don't get it.

rs_games has started posting. Go Team Knobby Knees. I mean, Go Team Wrinkly Bits. Err, Go Team Post Hogwarts! School MWPP Old Style, bbs. There are some amazing entries already. Of course, Team Post-Hogwarts have the best ones but you can go for Team MWPP if you must. *winks*

This post of random aimlessness is brought to you by the fact that I'm knackered off my ass and I really just want to go to bed but I must cook mother's day dinner tonight so that we can slip it into the oven tomorrow (homemade lasagna FTW!).

Anyone have any exciting plans? Share?
