We started the year with some major improvements to our bookmark search, making it possible to sort and filter bookmarks by word count, and deployed several batches of fixes to strengthen site security and improve performance. These release notes collect all changes made to AO3 in January.

Shoutout to first-time contributors Juliette Curran, KooShnoo, Mae Light, and sanchal ghosh! Thank you for your work.

Release 0.9.453

On January 21, we deployed some major improvements to our bookmark search, including the ability to filter and sort bookmarks by word count!

[AO3-6301] – Series blurbs would list all fandom tags from the works included in that series, even if a work was still saved as an unpublished draft. Now series blurbs only display fandoms from posted works.
[AO3-6303] – Series blurbs would also always list fandoms from works that were restricted to logged-in users. We now make sure that if a fandom in a series comes from a restricted work, it’s not listed when a guest is browsing series blurbs.
[AO3-6304] – Relatedly, series blurbs would always show up in bookmark listings for a certain tag even if that fandom’s work in the series was restricted to logged-in users. That’s also fixed now!
[AO3-6471] – We have added word count information to bookmarks! You can now search, filter, and sort bookmarks by the length of the bookmarked work or series. If a series contains restricted works and you’re not logged in, a series’ word count will reflect only the works that are accessible to you.
[AO3-7119] – We tweaked the way search queries work when searching bookmarks, so input is parsed more accurately and a “1k” and a “2k” tag won’t be interpreted as the same tag anymore (for example).

Release 0.9.454

A small grab bag of fixes was released on January 26.

[AO3-7264] – We employ certain measures to prevent spam on AO3, such as limiting how many times an action can be performed by a user in a certain time frame. We have now added an option to restrict new accounts more severely than older accounts when it comes to leaving and editing comments.
[AO3-7238], [AO3-7262] – We added extra information to the details our spam-checking provider uses to determine if a comment is spam or not.
[AO3-7045], [AO3-7060], [AO3-7248] – Some database clean-up and dependency updates.

Release 0.9.455

On January 28, we deployed some of the necessary changes to enable two-step verification for AO3 admin accounts.

[AO3-6918] – These changes prepare the login interface for 2FA enforcement to ensure the greatest possible security for admin accounts.
[AO3-7249] – Site admins, such as members of the Policy and Abuse committee, frequently need to look up a user’s past usernames and email addresses. To speed up searches while we work on long-term performance improvements, we moved this information to separate tables.

Release 0.9.456

A collection of navigation and display fixes was deployed on January 30.

[AO3-6869] – On devices running iOS, footnotes on the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports form were misaligned. Now everything looks tidy again.
[AO3-7028] – In one of our public site skins, some pagination links had become unclickable. If you’ve been using the Low Vision Default skin, now you can page through a user’s works in collections again!
[AO3-7213] – On narrow screens, the “Suggest a Language” button on the Work Languages page was slipping behind the list of languages and couldn’t be clicked. That’s also fixed.
[AO3-7247] – Fixed the broken link to the Fannish Next of Kin FAQ on the Technical Support & Feedback form.
[AO3-7251], [AO3-7266] – Some code clean-up.

Whatever's been going around finally got me, so I've been sick all weekend, ugh. At the very least, the time off from work has allowed me to read and watch some things and work on entries so! (':

A while back I watched Karaoke Iko! (aka Let's Go Karaoke!) after Nani recommended it to me (and

vriddy recommended it to them!), it's super cute and fun and silly! I really enjoy Satomi's sass, and where he and Kyouji end up by the end. What a weird delightful summer experience for them both! I had a good time with it.

I also watched the live action movie adaptation after

vriddy mentioned it being available on JFF Theater. Also fun! I enjoyed how it did some things a little differently.

New episodes of Pokémon Concierge released a while back, and they're super fun and cute! Such a delightful series. <3

The National Theatre released a showing of The Importance of Being Earnest for free on YouTube, available until the 18th, and I checked it out yesterday. I'd never seen or read it before, and omg it's such a good time! Very silly and fun, and the performers are so good, so many moments had me chuckling and laughing through my sore throat, haha. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend, very good time! :D

I also read Maelstrom: A Prince of Evil by Lorian Merriman yesterday, and it's really fun and cute and charming! Really loved the relationships between the hero and the prince, and between the knight and the princess, and just the undeniable queerness of it all. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the author is nonbinary, so that's super cool too. <3

Made a flip-through video because... well, because it would take more effort to post pictures. I'm now on my third month of Hobonichi Cousin and so far I've been keeping up, though I've really been struggling with incorporating work notes and to-do-lists with this format...

BGM is Magpie to the Morning by Neko Case because I don't know any new songs. XD

Watch on Vimeo

In other news, I've been trying to set up an old-school blog, just because I miss old-school blogs. I miss personal websites too and love seeing all the Neocities projects on my DW reading list, but I'm not at that level yet. ^^; Right now I'm trying out Bearblog, which is free, ad-free, private, and minimalist, but I'm too code-illiterate to customize my layout. It's very text-focused as a platform, but we'll see!

communal_creators is a community of creative types doing all sorts of things. We have two challenges a year: a week-long challenge in the spring and a month-long challenge in the fall.

The spring mini-round is starting a week from today! ANYWAY who creates is welcome to join. It's going to be time-based, and there are three tiers to choose from for your daily time goal.

Here's the sign-up post!

I'm serious when I say "anybody who creates". Yes, many of us are writers, but we also have fiber artists (knitting, crochet, weaving, and kumihimo braid), cross-stitchers and other needleworkers, vidders, animators, music creation, bakers... and I'm probably leaving something out.

My goals:
* finish the first sleeve of my cardigan
* maybe work on the t-shirt
* do another section of Neocities work
* write some, hopefully finishing a fic

Which is plenty given that it's just a week long, but it should be a mostly free week for me, except for work. I've got nothing else planned during the week, so hope to make some good progress.

Also tooting my own horn: someone asked for a tracking spreadsheet, so I made one this morning. You can find it in the comments of the sign-up post.

Current Mood: creative

I was fretting that I'd permanently broken my iPod (it disconnected without being ejected, which meant the music on it wasn't accessible and iTunes didn't see it), but this method worked for me!

Got up yesterday morning baked 4 loaves of soda bread (here's a picture of 2 of them), ate some myself (I kept the 4th loaf) then schlepped out ot the island to deliver them to my brother, sister, and niece.

We went out for a fun dinner - the onion rings at this place are so good! even if the service was a little haphazard - and then I went home with my brother's family. It was early enough that I could have come back here, but my middle niece was like, "aren't you going to hang out with us?!" so of course I stayed, and ended up watching KPop Demon Hunters with middle and youngest niece (youngest was like I don't wanna! but at the end she was like, that was really good!). I should note that they are 27 and 24, but they still like hanging out with me! <333 And now we want the prequel about Rumi's mother and her demon affair.

My car this morning came 90 minutes early, so I rolled out of bed expecting to be able to have a bagel and a cup of coffee before I had to leave, but there he was, blocking the driveway, so I got home before I was even scheduled to leave.

The amount of benadryl and Zyrtec I have to take at their house because of the cat is ridiculous, and I ended up coming home and sleeping for most of the day. I'm glad I didn't cancel my PTO day tomorrow though - I scheduled it when this dinner was originally planned for tonight. I did tell my boss she could ping me if she needed me ahead of their meeting with the board chair tomorrow afternoon, but I so hope she doesn't.

I wasn’t feeling quite done with Pokémon after Brilliant Diamond, so I decided to borrow my brother’s copy of Pokémon Shield and have started playing that! I’m not too far in yet—maybe three or four hours, I think. I originally skipped Sword/Shield when the games came out, as I wasn’t interested at the time, meaning that it’s currently the only Pokémon generation whose main game I haven’t played.

This wasn’t the first time I’ve skipped a generation*—I was very sulky about the Hoenn games as a child, mostly because I was upset about them cutting off transfers from the previous games (in hindsight: I have much more sympathy for why the developers made this choice!), and so didn’t get around to playing them until the remakes came out; and while I did start Pokémon White and Moon not too long after their respective releases, with both of those I ended up taking a break mid-game and only came back to them years later. But ultimately, whatever my initial feelings are, I always seem to play through a version of each generation’s games eventually, and apparently Sword/Shield is no exception.

*Specifically, the main games I’ve played through are: Red [technically my brother’s game, but we shared the save files], an incomplete Yellow playthrough, Silver, Diamond, Platinum, an incomplete Soul Silver run, White, X, Alpha Sapphire, Moon, Brilliant Diamond, and Scarlet.

Anyways. So far, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised! For all that I originally felt so disinterested in these games, I’m really really enjoying my time with Shield now, so much so that I’m retroactively liking Brilliant Diamond less in comparison, oops. ( more beneath the cut )

A few things going on lately!

I sent out the next Vargas chapter to be beta'd so it's happening!! Depends on when I hear back from her and how long I decide to fret about it before I post it, haha. It always feels like such an event to me! It's nice to get the ball rolling on it though.

I went back and fixed the broken images in the giant sketchposts at least, although posts with individual images are still broken. I figured the giant posts would be the ones people would most likely be looking at, haha. Relive the memories! Or not! I can't tell you what to do!

In terms of my cool music page, I added two more cassettes I found! One called "Radio Picks 92" which really only has a handful of songs and, mysteriously, Silent Lucidity like four times in a row?? If it was me who recorded it I don't know what I was thinking. The other one is "Special tape for car only" which despite its name just has very normal music on it. BACK BEFORE MY TASTE IN MUSIC BECAME TERRIBLE BEYOND BELIEF
If I decide to do any more tapes maybe I should set up a second page, it seems long with just the four on it already! Or maybe my resolution is just too small.

On a related note, there is now also an ipod on that shelf! You can click it to get to a new page for my car playlist, which is like 1300+ songs long at current. No downloads or links for that one because christ but I have been working on a youtube mirror of the playlist, although I'm only like 900 songs through it. You can get a taste of it though!

Setting up the ipod to flip open on hover was really annoying, I ended up trying like a few different methods and running into weird roadblocks before I got it doing what I wanted. Tough to get it to stay in place too! Getting a good shot of the ipod itself I could use was also annoying, I went through like three different versions of it open/closed before I decided on this one. It looks so realistic on the shelf!

I also made some Teeny Tower rooms!

One for Horses because that's so inappropriate lol. I need to make a post about that at some point. I love how the little horses came out, cute and creepy at the same time, poor things. Had a hard time thinking of a background but then I figured I could work with the whole silent film/theater symbolism it has going through it.

BRAINLESS RAAANDYYYYY there is SO MUCH fog in the Illbleed cutscenes I swear

Hornet and Shakra are girlfriiieeenddsss god, everything in Hollow Knight/Silksong is so ornate and intricate, it was murder to try and get it all down into such a small space. I based it off of my bellhome in Silksong so I have all the relics in there and everything, haha. Very hard to get a sense of metallic surfaces on a small scale!

Something reminded me or made me think of how a lot of Undertale environments would make for good little rooms, so I went with Asgore's throne room first. He looks so cute!! Cutest tiny Asgore! The window was a pain to try and shrink down. It's interesting seeing this one set against all the others since it has dark outlines, which very few of my other rooms have. Really emphasizes how simplistic Undertale's art style is...

And the brothers' room! Well really it's all about the Mettaton TV, haha. Mettaton on every channel! He's gotta be doing something! I spent way too much time on all those little segments. I could still add one for the news if I felt ambitious...

And as a complete tonal shift, that one scene from Hereditary. If you've seen it you know! I wonder how recognizable it will be to people when it's so tiny? It was a lot of fun to recreate this, trying to balance the right amount of darkness in the doorway so you're not sure if you see something.

For all those who were wondering if my Farm Together 2 obsession ever stopped

NARRATOR: (absolutely no one wondered this)

It has not. And I must say, the recent inclusion of rainbow llamas is probably the best thing that happened to me all week.

Unclear why that screencap is so scronched but you get the idea. They are event critters, so I gotta grind some shit out to unlock them permanently. They are gonna live next to the unicorns.

1. Have you ever watched illusion magic? Close-up, or in a stage show, or on television? Did it work for you?
On TV or at least video form. IRL... does the face-changing opera show in Haidilao (hotpot restaurant) count? They were entertaining the other section, not ours, but I was show-adjacent...

2. Have you ever wished on a star, or a lucky cat, or a coin in a wishing well? Did it work in some way?
Coin on a... not a well, I think a fountain? Don't remember what I wished for, it was a long time ago. I did pray to various gods (tossing in the requisite coins) when I hiked Mount Takao in my last Japan trip, not sure that counts as a wish. I mean, it probably does, because I went for the ones I thought could help with back health. ^^;

3. Have you ever cast a spell, made a love charm, or tried a curse? Did it work in some way?
No, but I've bought charms as souvenirs. And this talisman sticker to repel evil bosses:
a sticker of a talisman to repel evil bosses

a sticker of a talisman to repel evil bosses

4. Are there any other traditional superstitions you pay attention to? Do they work in some way?
Mostly death traditions (relevant bc I just came from a wake). I don't think about whether or not they work bc that would only freak me out lol: Not saying goodbye to the hosts/bereaved when leaving a wake (this is a point of debate bc apparently most of the ppl in my social circle don't do this and are worried it's rude, but it's what I was always told to do and I fear the consequences); Shaking off ghosts (pagpag) by stopping at another place when coming from a funeral/wake, lest they follow you home. The funeral home we visited last week had a cafe beside it called "Ghost Coffee". We didn't do our pagpag there, but we observed that the cafe's existence was certainly a Choice; Being cognizant of mounds of soil in case I offend a dwarf spirit; Avoiding any major life/financial decisions during ghost month, but then again I've never had to.

I did try a couple of Thai Buddhist practices in a museum, at a museum's staff's encouragement (nobody else seemed to be interacting with the exhibits), when I was in Bangkok last month? I distinctly remember failing to lift the elephant the first time and I was like nooooooo lol. My question was money-related. I guess it was accurate divination because *gestures at current events*

5. Would you want major magical powers like in a fantasy story? Which powers, and how would you use them?
I'm too stupid and accident-prone for major powers, I'd be happy with just being magically lucky and having the people around me benefit by extension. Winning little prizes, always having free seats and parking spots, meeting the right people at the right time... that sort of thing.
