GIP.

New layout. A new bunch of icons including a new default (well, hello, Mr Bass). I wrote a thousand words plus for [livejournal.com profile] bittybang today and I've got a really good idea where I'm going with it. It's just a shame I'm not so certain on the JuC Swap, really.

In all, not the worst day ever.

Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] llamabitchyo who is responsible for ALL my new icons - there's one to come which will is also due to [livejournal.com profile] llamabitchyo, via [livejournal.com profile] d_floorlandmine - and also for my [livejournal.com profile] bittybang bunny.

I really want to carry on with the [livejournal.com profile] bittybang but I stupidly came to my parents' and didn't email myself the latest draft. I guess I can just carry on and email the new scene to myself - or write something for [livejournal.com profile] bassez_day, I've no clue what.

How are you, ya'll? What's up in the universe?

I'm going to ask a question of the day. What is your comfort activity? What do you do, for preference, when you're down?

The layout is pretty but the font is VERY tiny and a bit hard to read. And hello Mr Bass, you're looking mighty fine!

What do you do, for preference, when you're down?

Read shallow stories with happy ends, oldfashioned whodunnits like Agatha Christie's or humourous and fluffy fanfic.

It is a little bit small, come to think of it. I'm quite uncertain with the CSS (it's a custom layout where I just copy/pasted the stylesheet) but will see if I can play with it. Not even sure which bit I need to be playing with, though! Hmm.

That sounds like a good thing to do for comfort. :D

ETA: Any better? I think this is much more readable.

Oh yes, much better!

Woot. Yeah, I'm happy with it now! Thanks. :D

I like your new layout! So bright and colourful.

Thank you! I'm fond of it, too. :D

Your journal looks lovely.

As for your question. I go and read fic too, but the dark depressing stuff. Hey, it works for me :)

you could always ask the person who's in your house with your computer to fire it up and send you the file?

[identity profile] catviret.livejournal.com 2008-08-02 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I couldn't resist the colours, they're so pretty! ♥

And that sounds like much more my style. Feeling down, go read about death. :D

Dude, I could!

Would you be so kind? I know my room's a mess...

K Drive - Writing - Popslash - Trickylambs. If you could open and save it as an .rtf, you would officially be a STAR (it's an Open Office doc and I can't open them on this computer, yay).

Thank you! ♥

I think your design collapses in my browser, but the colors are very crisp and fresh. Lance looks fantastic in your icon! I don't believe I've seen that picture before, what's it from?

[identity profile] catviret.livejournal.com 2008-08-02 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh baby. Lance's legs. Excuse me while I ogle a minute....

...OK, back now. :P

I don't know to be honest - although I wonder if it's maybe one of the Australia pics? I'll ask [livejournal.com profile] llamabitchyo, she made the icon so I guess she has the original pic somewhere...

I can see I'm going to be thoroughly intimidated by this challenge. Harrumph.

I like to use my LJ as an all-access writing thingy. I'll post a WIP as a private post, and can edit it or just comment with ideas that occur to me, wherever I happen to be. Quite handy, and there's no need to remember anything other than where my LJ is - no other logins and passwords.

I really liked the way your JuC swap story sounded as if it was going, after your rather waterfall-like insta-beta thingy at my house... if you'd like to talk about it, do email me. I'm away tomorrow evening (funeral is on Monday) but back from Monday onwards.

randomly commenting -- I do the same thing, save bits and bobs of fic to my lj locked as a private post or just to me and my beta team. It keeps prying eyes from finding it saved on the computer. lol

should be with you :D

[identity profile] ravenbat.livejournal.com 2008-08-02 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
my comfort activity is usually reading. Be it fic or a book I enjoy. That or sleeping. lol.

[identity profile] catviret.livejournal.com 2008-08-02 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't be intimidated! (I'm intimidated by everything I have to write - it's just I'm inspired by my [livejournal.com profile] bittybang right now. OT3, ahoy!)

See, that's a good idea! I have the bunny list as a private post over on [livejournal.com profile] randomling, but I tend to keep my writing either on the home computer or Gmail. Partly because the having 3 journals thing makes me a bit crazy... I'd never remember which journal was which!

The JuC Swap keeps changing! I'm keeping the library AU, but the plot keeps switching about because I can't work out what it was about the original thing that excited me, and whatever it was, the insta-beta seemed to have stripped it out, which was sad. Anyway, I think I have now settled on something I like, but it's still all a bit up in the air.

Um, I will email you about it - thanks very much for the offer!

I have it. Thank you! You are a star.

Reading is clearly a Good Thing, innit?

[identity profile] puszysty.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
My comfort activity is doing puzzles.

[identity profile] epicflailer.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
a) love the layout.

b) love the icon (♥ ♥)

c) OMG i am completely and utterly intimidated by your bittybang progress (and also in awe). go you!

d) my comfort activity is watching tv. overdosing on it. especially supernatural. i can do that all day, for hours and hours on end.

[identity profile] catviret.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, yes, puzzles are fun. I play puzzle games on the internet, sometimes?

[identity profile] catviret.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
a and b) Thank you! [beams]

c) Thanks! Don't be intimidated - I'm now kind of stuck on the next sex scene, because, sigh. Porn is hard.

d) Oooh, I'm going up to see my sister in a couple of weeks and we are going to mainline SPN. And yet she's not a slasher. I'm so confused by this.

e) OMG LANCE KILT YAY. I love that icon. :D

[identity profile] epicflailer.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
c) oh god, yes. that's the understatementpun of the century. but i am sure you'll be fine! (especially after mainlining spn ♥ ♥ ♥)

d) ...i must admit that i don't really get wincest. *hangs head* i totally see the appeal, but they are so BROTHERLY and i just can't see past that even though i RLY, RLY want to. although, jensen/jared? i'm completely on board with. it's very strange. but i'm rambling here. just enjoy the process of falling in love! ;)

e) HEEEEE! i have much love for this icon myself! especially when i think about the fact that this was the jesse era! <3

[identity profile] catviret.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee. Yes, pun of the century. But it's an interesting scene I hope? Because Lance has to, um, lose his virginity and convince Chris that Chris is not just a pre-Justin test run.

I kind of. I dunno, they're pretty. They are quite brotherly, though. I think the RPS is probably more sellable - to me, anyway. I just. I've been on Livejournal too long, I boggle at the concept of an SPN fangirl with NO interest in slash.

Lance, his boyfriend, a random girl, a dog, and KILTS. What's not to love?!

[identity profile] llamabitchyo.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
*loves you*

looks pretty!
