more srs business.

It would be ignoble of me to use my free virtual gift to send theljstaff a report card of FAIL, right? Right. (I will be strong. Now, if they only still had the flaming bag of poo as an option...)

I just got around to updating the newbieguide XF directory, so that's one obligation no longer hanging over my head. :D Took me all night, too - since when is XF fandom active again?

Meanwhile, still posting mostly at http://www.journafen.net/~melannen . Still not done the Tek Jansen mood theme for it, either. I'm planning to stick around at JF long-term. I've been meaning to get more active there for ages, as I've felt less free to talk on LJ - for reasons that only have partially to do with the change in tone of the administration. It's partially to do with the way my flist here has gotten bigger and more diverse, and as a result I've gotten shyer about talking about my specialized interests. You guys are awesome, and I'm going to keep reading everyone here because I *don't* want to lose you, but I have long-standing interaction issues, and JF makes me feel free, like a particularly good feminine hygiene commercial. :P

I just used electricandroid's flist transfer cheat to friend everybody from here that had IJ and GJ accounts under the same name - let me know if I missed you (or friended a wrong journal.) I'll be checking there once a day or so, probably. I'm *not* auto-adding everyone at JF - I've had a different flist and tone there for awhile, and seriously, if I added all ya'll my list there would be way too big. If you've a JF and want to read my fan randomosity there, friend me or drop a comment and I'll friend back.

Meanwhile, I'll be commenting here. Probably more than ever, if the last few weeks are any judge. And if whoever is targeting pornish_pixies ever gets around to getting me tossed for my underage femmeslash fics from four years ago, there's always openID.

I had the exact same thought. If you want to start a campaign to send theljstaff a flaming crapload of FAIL for free, I'm so on board.

Are you planning to see if someone wants to take over phile_files? Since you'll be even LESS likely to update it? I bet you'd get takers. (NOT me. But I'm sure someone would??)

[melannen.livejournal.com]

I'm considering. See, I seriously doubt anyone *would* (I've only updated it about twice in the three years since it was posted, and nobody cared) and I'm not exactly *gone*. But thinking about that is part of the reason I finally got off my butt to update.

A bunch of people have already sent pepsi to brad, under rather bizarre reasoning (You want advertising, we'll *give* you advertising, I guess). Actually, barakb25 would probably be more appropriate. :D

[melannen.livejournal.com]

Oh, wait - you were asking about phile_files, not newbieguide. Eh. It's not like it was ever terribly well-established, (and it's not like xf fandom hesitates to make redundant comms - my *god* do they make redundant comms) so I figure anyone who cares can just start over.

Although if you rustle me up a volunteer I'll totally try to remember the password for them. :D

[stellar-dust.livejournal.com]

I think I still have the password somewhere in my email. d-:

I'm tempted to send them my limit of 10 sponsored P*psi gifts. From each of my 4 accounts.

[melannen.livejournal.com]

I hesitate to send the cola, only because they're probably keeping stats and I don't want to help make the ads look popular. Especially when we've got both FAIL and DETENTION as options.

Hi, I REALLY don't know you or anything, but i saw your pepsi vgift comments on lj_biz, and i just wanted you to know that I love you, in a strictly non-sexual way. I now hurt from laughing so much.
thank you for making my boring friday night a lot more amusing.

[kopernik.livejournal.com]

Ditto!

Kudos, seriously.

[melannen.livejournal.com]

And I can do the whole thing over again in a week! (There ought to be Pepsi-induced necrophilia in part 2, I think.)

[kopernik.livejournal.com]

Ooh, suhweet.

[melannen.livejournal.com]

Well, it brightened up *my* friday! :D

Seriously, I wasn't expecting any feedback at all, and this completely made my day. So thank you!

[elke-tanzer.livejournal.com]

I adore your vgift-fic. You are crazy and wonderful. :-)

[melannen.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[mllesatine.livejournal.com]

I love the idea. Your fic kicks ass (or asian dudes - not sure).

[melannen.livejournal.com]

It is a ninja of the night.

[stellar-dust.livejournal.com]

Hey, spell "journalfen" correctly in your url up there!

[stellar-dust.livejournal.com]

No, srsly, hit the edit button and spell it right!
