Very shiny and squeeful with a generous dose of irony. Love all the little details.

I'm so happy our Jennifer-Teyla comic is getting such great feedback.
... (There is really no innocuous way to draw a tentacle, is there? :D)

I had almost no fic-reading time these past days, between work, the comic, French class, and finally watching Star Trek: The Reboot. (

friendshipper's post pretty much matches my own reaction, so... *links*.) (

yahtzee63 has a Star Trek comment fic fest going on here, with prompts for every taste.)

anyway, for those waiting for more genficathon recs, right now I'm reading Where the White Lilies Grow, an AU I saw recced by Sholio and Ratcreature, I think, and I'm not very far in yet but the beginning is *very* intriguing. So intriguing that I want to work extra-speedy today so I can get back to it quickly.

I've started to read more and more on DW now, and I'm really liking this site. I already noticed several improvements to LJ's code, stuff that used to annoy me that's now gone. Not to mention the increased post and comment length. And it's barely noticable that the site is still in beta. (Though I hope they have their reading filters available soon.) The way I'm handling it now is that every time I notice someone crossposting all their content between LJ and DW, I'm taking them off my LJ filters so I don't get double posts. That seems to work quite well.

I created that second journal under my last name which I will make into a gallery for my non-fannish art. I can't wait to try and fiddle with the CSS to make that journal presentable (right now CSS still looks very cryptic to me but I figured out the Perl code for our Buffy archive, so how hard can it be to make a stylesheet...?)

CSS isn't hard (much easier than Perl, IMO), just kind of fiddly, and sometimes it can't do things easily that you think any sane layout description ought to be able to do. And of course there's always problems with different browsers and with how screens are different sizes. But mostly it's just breaking down a layout in boxes, and then describing which box should go where and which size it should have and how it should react (like floating, variable, fixed etc.) if circumstances change. And then of course putting down fonts, colors and borders and such details.

But if you pick the DW Tabula Rasa layout everything in the html is already put in boxes, and you can choose how many columns and modules it should have automatically, so you just have to do fine tuning in your own CSS not the annoying block layout stuff.

*bookmarks rec* Thank you! :)
