Just as fandom becomes extremely important to me again after turmoil in RL, I get notices that BOTH my Livejournal paid account and Livejournal extra icon packages are expiring, the icons in three days (!) and the paid account in a few weeks. Sadly, without a paid account, extra userpics would go to waste.

I have been quiet so far this month but if I can get a handle on things, I might be able to post more fic next month. After all, it will be Halloween!

If any two fannish devotees could help out, I would be most appreciative! Thank you.

***Please note that while this entry appears on both DW and LJ, the expirations of both account and package are on LJ.

Just testing my Dreamwidth cross-posting. I'll probably still post my fic over on LJ and then import it here, as I have so darned much I don't want to be setting up archive pages over here. If the inevitable happens and I someday abandon LJ, I'll just have to navigate via tags here. I refuse to redo all those links over here! :)

Anyway, I'll probably still write non-fic entries over there but may do some here and cross-post to get into the habit. Happily I've backed up my journal here and the majority of my fic is posted at AO3. Never put all your eggs in one basket!

I am not abandoning LJ for the foreseeable future, not with recently-paid icons and a paid account, not unless I have no choice. Right now it's still my choice. And I can check my DW Reading List here and keep up with people.

Is Tumblr where fandom has pretty much relocated? I really don't like that platform. Has something where discussion is encouraged emerged out there, or is it DW? Which most people don't use, though that may change.

Anyway, still on LJ, but also BradyGirl_12 on DW. What is the code on DW to make a tag like this: bradygirl? I tried dw user but that doesn't work. And what's the code for cuts? On LJ, it's lj-cut text= and lj-cut (bracketed, of course), but what is it on DW?

EDIT: Hmm, I used the lj user code and it came out looking like a DW name. Weird.

Anyway, slowly setting things up just in case. I can see something in the future with me posting fic here on DW and linking back to LJ for previous fic, and also using tags here to find stuff. I don't know yet.

Good evening, all!

Haven't been around much lately due to RL stuff, including a stint in the hospital. Tests, tests, tests!

Damn, got back on-line and got a notice saying my paid account will run out on June 14th. If some kind soul will help me out, I would be SO grateful! I'd hate to waste the gift of my anonymous benefactor of the extra userpics a few months ago because without a paid account I can't use those extras! They gotcha coming and going!

I plan on posting a ficcish update soon. Believe it or not, I may have some things to post this month! :)

Hi, luvs!

My deluxe icons package of icons is expiring in 5 days. :(

If any kind soul can help me out with renewal, I would be most grateful and would raise a green beer to you next week on St. Patrick's Day! :)

Hi, luvs!

Tomorrow I lose all my extra userpics. If any kind soul can help me out, I'd appreciate it. I know it's a little thing, but sometimes that's all we have in life, eh?

Thanks!

Hi, luvs!

I must come with hat-in-hand again and ask if anyone could help me out. My extra userpics packages are set to expire on the 15th of this month (beware the Ides!). I would be most grateful for any kind soul who could help me out. I can't do it myself, as I've said before, because believe me, if I could I would spare you posts like these and my embarrassment.

I haven't been around much lately due to, to put it mildly, real life not being too kind. Needless to say I haven't felt much inspiration for writing. Hopefully that will change but if I could sleep eighteen hours a day I would, just so I could get relief from worrying!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. I can offer a 1,000-word fic or just my heartfelt thanks if you wish to remain anonymous.

Hi, luvs!

I'd like to request some help. My Userpics expire on November 11, 2014 and my Paid Account on December 10, 2014. I can't renew them myself for reasons I prefer not to go into (yes, it's financial, but I'd rather not go into details), so if anyone would be so kind to help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I'd hate to lose my userpics, especially at this time of year with all the holiday pix I have! :) And the Paid Account allows me to enjoy some perks. The little things in life can really cheer you up.

I would be willing to offer a ficlet for anyone helping me out. And, crooked_halo, I haven't forgotten that fic I owe you. I'm finally getting some good ideas for it! :)

Thanks so much if you can help. :)

Hi, luvs!

I have several boxes of comics I'm planning to sell in the near future. Have any of you sold comics? If so, how did you go about it? I know Ebay is a resource but I can't afford the fees nor do I have a scanner to put up pictures, so that's out. Is the local comic shop a good place to go, or will they severely under-price my collection? Have you sold on-line in places like dusty_corners? I am thinking of buying the Overstreet Comics Guide for prices, and to try and evaluate the condition of the books. Some books are from the '70s and others from the '80s. They are mostly DC, but I have some Marvel and Archies and a few other randoms.

Does Heritage Auctions look legit or is on the scam side? It's tough to know who to trust.

Anyway, any advice you can give me is welcome! I'll be selling more zines soon, too. I want to clear out as many boxes as I can in the coming months. Thanks!

Testing! Please ignore. ;)

Testing a very old browser. My Google Chrome keeps crashing and now won't open. *tears hair out*

EDIT I can take stuff burned to a DVD if anyone can tape the Pats-Broncos game on the NFL Network tonight at 9:00 (goes 'til 11:00, I believe) for me *puppy dog eyes*. I know, I'm shameless, ha, ha! But I'm too happy right now to care. I'm looking SO forward to tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! :)

Hi, luvs!

For REASONS, I didn't get to see my beloved Patriots against the Broncos last Sunday and had to listen on the radio. I'm requesting help. It will replay on the NFL Network tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 9:00 P.M. Can someone send me a tape of that? I have a VHS VCR. Yes, I know, very old. :) But I don't have a DVR, and neither can I access any highlights on my computers as I have dial-up and no sound. I'm in the Stone Age, I know, but when I win the lottery, that'll change. ;)

I can offer a minimum 1000-word fic in payment and my gratitude. Help me see my boy Tom in his frosty glory! Thanks!
