Ah, escapism...

So what do I do? wildernessguru and I watched Batman Begins. Wow. I heard it was good, but this is far better than I expected.

Now... writing more Percyness, and watching Stargate, with puss-cat curled up beside me. *pleased*

The Percy Archive is now up to 117 stories. kay_taylor gave the okay to archive "Of Control" and two stories from Donna Immaculata.

We're hanging onto the DVD so we can watch it again this weekend. :)

Eee! I'm there, and things! I mean, it's entirely possible that all the Percy Ficathon fics are, but, you know. Flattering anyway. ;) Thanks for making my morning, which thus far has been full of horsepill nasal decongestants, chemistry presentations, and exploding bottles of shampoo.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are definitely there, despite the exploding shampoo (oh, that sounds like a Hogwarts prank or Muggle-baiting). Do you have any more Percy-fics for us?

Icarus

[setissma.livejournal.com]

It was like, FOOF. All over my counter.

I don't, sadly. My current project is sort of WWII-era James/Lily with Linnpuzzle, but we shall see! I like Percy. He's fascinating. ;)

[bsafemydeers.livejournal.com]

I have one I'd like to archive there as well as my Percyfest story, if that's okay.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yes, absolutely. But I couldn't find your Fic-A-Thon piece so you'll have to set up a new account (this is driving me slightly mad... which Fic-A-Thon story did you write?).

Icarus

[bsafemydeers.livejournal.com]

Hn. That's funny, because, well... last I checked, you had it up on the archive.

But anyway, off my fandom journal--

and

--are my two Percy pieces.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Footstool of the Dark Arts! That's it, I remember. Now why can't I find the name "pennymintlick"?

Icarus

[bsafemydeers.livejournal.com]

Probably not listed under my eljay name. I think I submitted under "jesibel". Though if possible, I'd rather it was under permasmile, my fandom eljay name.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Aha. I have Jesibel.

I can't change the author names (otherwise I'd fix the lack of capitalization of "Icarus" - drives me nuts, but someone else created my account). What you can do is create a new account and re-upload all the stories.

Question: are you able to open stories on Percyness right now? I'm getting a "cannot find server" message.

Icarus

[bsafemydeers.livejournal.com]

...yeah, it won't connect.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I just learned from Slashcity that they had a major attack and they're dealing with it now. It shouldn't be down much longer but they have to make sure they weren't compromised.

Icarus

[marauderthesn.livejournal.com]

Are you taking any sort of Percy fic for the archive? Because I have two and another one in the works.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, the archive is intended to be comprehensive, so long as the writing itself is in order.

Icarus

[marauderthesn.livejournal.com]

What qualifies as "in order"?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Basically I'm not allowing stories that have SPAG errors (spelling, punctuation, grammar) or that don't have Percy as the main character. For example, my own Beg Me For It may be too borderline. He's a main character in Hey You, so that part's acceptable, but most of the other parts aren't. I haven't quite decided what to do about it. I may put Hey You up, and then have a link to the rest of the story on my site.

Other than the character focus and avoidance of SPAG errors, the archive is very open because it's the only Percy archive out there. I only want to make sure it doesn't become a Percy version of ff.net.
