Whether you're in the mood for a creative challenge or you're short on time or attention span, this semi-addictive community is perfect for those who find flash fiction way long. Once you get the hang of it, you won't be able to stop. The prince turned into a frog. The girl ran home to mother. Tough to write. Easy to read. It's a double threesome of fun.

Idea!  Pick me!  Pick me!

Okay.  I think we need to have a big truth or dare game.  Since it's such a structured thing it's easy to post for the most part and it might bring more activity back... at least for the moment.  Plus, it's super fun!  

Hello again Vortexx,

I know it has been awhile since anyone has seen me around here. However as great of a game as this is the last two months have been anything but kind, and a lot of things have changed. I know that had Aion and the other moderators not been so kind as to extend my hiatus, then my characters to be purged; but rather than just jumping back in I wanted to see what the rest of the community thought so that there are no problems. In short what I’m wanting is to hear your thoughts on which character I should resume playing, if any, after such a prolonged and unannounced hiatus.

Also, I have a new e-mail (torrens.sepelio@gmail.com) and personal journal (torrens_v_casus). My aim sn is still the same though so feel free to send me a message anytime.

Until the next,
Sus

So I shall be heading off to Indiana on Thursday to attend a conference.  I'm pretty sure we'll be back on Saturday night... but I'm not positive.  Hiatus for me from the 5th through the 8th just to be safe.  I should be posting on the 8th again though. :)

Designed to rescue fashion victims everywhere, this Brit-based community reads like a rag-ezine. Published once or twice weekly, you'll view bizarre highlights of the global fashion scene through captivating photos and delightfully snarky editorial. Sit tight for a virtual fashion tour from the runways of New York to Milan to Paris and back home again to London in homage to the adage: you can't buy good taste.

soldiers_heart
A passionate community for veterans of all ages (mostly American), plus families, friends, and supporters. View poignant snapshots detailing life in combat and back on civilian soil in the form of original artwork, personal narratives, poetry, and photos. Be forewarned that members don't shy away from describing their disappointments, disabilities, and struggles.

EDIT: If you're reading this, our maintenance is OVER! The problem was not found on our equipment, which means we'll have to work with our ISP to fix this small problem -- which also means another maintenance window in the future -- but at least we have eliminated our side.

Thank you everyone, and a special shout out to rekoil for giving me a great suggestion AND also the opportunity to feel like I've just called in to a local radio station.

Have a great day, night or afternoon wherever you may be.

Hi everyone, sorry for the late notice but I'm going to have to do some testing on 1 of our 4 internet circuits TONIGHT; Friday night or Saturday morning depending on which time zone you're in.

Most of us shouldn't notice any impact, though there may be some slowness or lag when I switch traffic on to our other ISP circuits and then another hit when I stop the tests. If a page won't load or times out, try hitting refresh 1 or 2 times and it should load then. If it doesn't work at all... trust me, I'll be typing really really really fast to try to undo whatever I just did. Hopefully you'll have some Halloween candy (if you're in the USA and celebrate that kind of thing) nearby to take away the bitterness of a small site outage. :(

Here's the handy-dandy Website That I Always Use to get a feel for when the maintenance will start in your area. Our site traffic historically dips on Friday afternoons until Saturday morning which is why we tend to pick this time for maintenance work.

( tech details )

status.livejournal.org will, of course be updated before and after the maintenance window. Or else marta will get mad at me. :D
