*looks at date* errrrr

So, I guess May got away from me in a similar fashion to April ^^;

I spent the time doing some cool offline and online/creative things, so it's not like I haven't done things that I wanted to! I just didn't have the time for blogging that I'd hoped/anticipated. (Also, I think that some of my "less time" was due to making a concerted effort to fix my terrible sleeping schedule and stop being tired all the time, whereas normally I would have stayed up an extra hour or two).

However, that isn't to say I haven't been doing some Dreamwidth things! So, here's what I've been up to (and also some archiving stuff off the back of Archive April/general archiving thoughts).

Last entry I decided that I would do something I'm calling "Archive April", in which I focus on archiving to my personal site during April. I set a goal of at least 10 new fanworks archived, with additional soft goals of creating my Fanart and Fanvid pages and improving the site navigation.

It's taken me a while to make time for any more archiving since March Meta Matters, because I was on a trip a couple of days after my last post and then we had Things Being Done to the house that were quite chaotic and all-encompassing. And I held a belated birthday party 😁 But I still had a chunk of April left, so I was determined to get back on the archiving train and keep my commitment to myself ☺️

I got back into the groove with a quick, easy upload of a short Rurouni Kenshin fic that just needed a page and some formatting to go up. That was all I could manage on Saturday night, but on Sunday I had time to get stuck in. I realised that I'd been avoiding archiving longer fics because I wanted to improve the way I handled the chapters, so, I tinkered with my already-uploaded multichapter Yu Yu Hakusho Peter Pan AU (Hiei Jaganshi, Legendary Bandit) and added some links to previous and next chapters. Rather than create a page for each chapter, I wanted to make it possible for people to read the fic continuously if they wanted to, but also have the ability to navigate to individual chapters. I also looked up how to center a bullet point list so that I could create a little chapter navigation menu at the top.

Current Mood: accomplished

And just like that, it’s the end of March! The year is really whipping past, and I’m pleased that I’m managing to take part in events like March Meta Matters and the Small Fandoms Drabblethon, but I always wish they could last longer xD Still, I’m really happy with my participation in March Meta Matters! Since my last post about the challenge, I have:

Archived my various thoughts on drabbles on SquidgeWorld (DW was having some downtime when I felt inspired to archive these, but I think SqWA is a good home for them! I like being able to use chapters for different dates – or date ranges)
Archived two new meta essays from a WordPress blog I’d forgotten about: one on the gender-ambiguous pairing of Squib/Pumkin from the web series Baman Piderman, and one on the second Fantastic Beasts film
Split off the longer meta essays on my site onto their own pages
Renamed the “meta and misc” page URL from /misc to /meta to reflect its much heavier meta emphasis; I’m thinking of moving the misc stuff to sit with my fic, since it’s more fic-related, or maybe just giving it a page of its own
I also re-ordered the Site Updates log on the Homepage to reverse chronological order so that the most recent updates are visible first.
