Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: What is your favourite thing to make?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month | The Verge
Beginning in March, all accounts will have a ‘teen-appropriate experience by default.’
A government ID might still be required for age verification in its global rollout. According to Discord, to remove the new “teen-by-default” changes and limitations, “users can choose to use facial age estimation or submit a form of identification to [Discord’s] vendor partners, with more options coming in the future.”

This past week...

Getting started a bit later than I normally do today. I thought I had found a new coffee shop to sit and enjoy a quiet coffee while doing my post, however....

First, it was a further drive, so I was already going to be shorter on time. Then, I walk in and the place is empty - like, not even any employees empty. I waited a few minutes, read through the menu a couple times, and still nothing, not even any sounds from the back. So I left, and won't go back (first impressions are everything). So for today I'm at the nearest《overpriced national chain coffee shop》and next week I'll figure out something else.

Obviously, I did move out from my old office and back to the one in the city. Took only 20 minutes to pack, but 1.5 hours to settle in and get organized. Thankfully there were no other people around, since I was making a fair bit of noise rearranging things. The office is full today, and it's certainly noisier than I had gotten used to over the past couple years. But that I can get used to - and it's worth it to save half an hour of commute every day.

Coming out of Dry January, I'm starting to realize how accustomed I had gotten to the effects of alcohol. Even from just a couple drinks at home, I had a couple restless nights of poor sleep and groggy mornings to follow. I skipped the gym both days, although I did make one up in the afternoon. I found a few decent non-alcoholic beers during the past month and I'm going to keep those at home for now rather than the normal stuff. With my training I really should be keeping it to a minimum anyway, and that will help.

Speaking of my HM training, the plan I'm following is starting to ramp up the intensity. The easy runs are getting harder, and the long runs are getting longer. Soon I'm expecting to see faster paces, and some variety in the types of runs. The first race is a scant 2 months away, and there's still lots of progress to be made. I'm so glad I found a place to do this training indoors - without that I wouldn't even be close to being prepared.

And that's about all I have time for this week. Wherever I come to you from next time, I'll see you then. =]

Working on an unexpected Miami Vice fic that hit me today, and I'm almost finished with the rough draft. I watched a really angsty episode, and decided, yeah, I need to make it worse. 😉 Now when I started writing it, I had no idea how it would end. There were three possible outcomes, one happy, one unhappy, and one a mix of both. That's the fun of writing for me, the being surprised at the endings. Turns out it's the unhappy one, but it has to be that way, for several reasons. I have some points to make about the characters and their relationship, and the time they lived in as well. Things that have been bouncing around in my head for awhile.

I wrote a slashy episode post about it on Tumblr, as well. Because, wow, these two throw me for a loop sometimes I can't believe what I'm seeing. I don't even think it's subtext anymore, not when it's so difficult to think of a non-slashy reason for some of these behaviors...

Oh, and I also made my first 'short'. I recently discovered a secret (shh!), that some of the mass-produced box sets that are put out by companies that aren't the studios... don't have copy guard. So, you can extract them to a hard drive. So, if I ever get the patience and experience, I could actually make songvids... I've always wanted to! But I have zero patience.

So, I haven't been writing any more Three Sentence Fics. I did a couple earlier in the week but haven't posted them anywhere else yet, haven't had a chance.
