Percyness Archive

Okay. I've got all the Percyfest authors added to the Percyness archive. I will update the Percy Fic-A-Thon site to point to here, and throw the site open to archive new Percy stories.

Somehow I have 45 authors on the Fic-A-Thon site, and 46 authors in my Percyness Archive list. Uh-oh.

I tried to add [livejournal.com profile] ficbymarks' hilarious "He's All That" as a test and got a long run of error messages. What did I do? So intead of adding a story under the Admin account, I tried adding my "Council of Obvious Edicts" through the author field. That seemed to work.

Except... somehow I've got multiple entries of character names, and the category isn't showing. Hmm. This is because the character entry field was forcing me to enter a set of characters for each category. So if I don't pick the right character sets it... ah hell. *Icarus swears* I have to go back in, delete those extra characters and somehow get rid of the system's demand to tie the characters to the catagory.

Someone remind me why I'm doing this again? Because I have a feeling this is only the beginning.


ETA: [livejournal.com profile] honeycakehorse (owner of the Harry-Weasley archive, check it out) says, "You're doing this for Percy Weasley, our loveable, though sometimes misguided third son of Molly and Arthur Weasley. The gross underrepresentation and sometimes outright torrents of hatred he has to suffer in fandom make it necessary to show people that there is a different side to Percy Weasley than traitor, ministry scum or Fudge's personal arselicker. Not to mention that you are known for the promotion of Percy-ness throughout the LJ community and have embraced your love for him for years. Good luck!"

Thank you.

*beams*

Thank you. That's exactly right. *Holds up Percy banner in determination!*

He is also the most plausibly gay character in canon. ;)

There is that of course. :)

As, you know, the first of the school-age characters to have a real girlfriend...

You mean the first one for Ron to complain about. All my gay friends had girlfriends. Or should I say "girlfriends"? *waves Percy/randome encounter flag*
