I was growing really antsy about the missing notifications because day after day the tickets were piling up yet the problem didn't seem to get acknowledged anywhere (not in the known issues on the support page, not on

dw_maintenance, no replies to those tickets... I even went to check the dreamwidth github issues but crickets there too :C).

Anyway, behold! A few of the (many, many) tickets about notifications were updated with the following:

"Our developers have been looking into this and finally figured out what was going on. There's a fix in, and notifications should start flowing again. I can't say if you'll get the old ones, but new ones should be fine."

I can't wait! Thanks to the "Recent Comments" page which I'm checking first like a kinda inbox, I'm fairly sure I'm not missing anything posted anywhere on my journal. Unfortunately, because I have a couple of active posts at the moment, the "Recently Posted" page isn't as useful to me and if someone replies a couple of weeks later to a comment I left on their journal, I'm unlikely to see it if the notification gets dropped :C

Glad a fix is on the way and hope it's coming to us soon!! To all the chit-chat and associated notifications!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😆 (Yes I'm constantly trying to get my inbox under control but not like this 😱 XD)

We have a little under 23 hours to go for signups! Here's a countdown.

As a reminder, your signup requests must include at least 3 different unique fandom tags, and your offers must include at least 4 different unique fandom tags. You can repeat fandoms if you want to select different tag combinations in multiple signups slots, but you do still need to make that uniqueness minimum. I've reached out to a couple of people as a heads-up and will check again after signups close.

To help matching go smoothly, you might want to check the requests and see if your offers can match to at least one recipient.

Finally, I've approved all submitted tags to this point except for Twilight Series - All Media Types, as mentioned last post. Nominator, please specify whether you want the books or the movies. We do have some book relationships already in the tagset.

If you're still thinking of nominations, make sure you submit them right away! I'll be checking in occasionally until signups close, but I may not get to them in time for you to add to your signup.

I finished 2 more ornament gifts for friends.

Previously I needlepointed the owl design and finished it with ecru cording for the edge. This time I did brown cording and I also tried out long stitch to make the feathers look more feathery.

Owl!

WARRIOR/GUARDIAN AU MEME

In a world rife with war against monstrous fiends, there are those praised for their natural strength and healing abilities. Marked with a symbol which represents either a sword or shield, these individuals are further powered when contracted with those bearing the opposite symbol. Because of this, contracts are deemed mandatory once an individual turns eighteen years of age.

While contracted, Warriors (sword) and Guardians (shield) become sensitive to one another's emotional and physical states. The stronger the bond between them, the more power and abilities can be unlocked. While it's possible to form and break contracts at any given time, the result is a numb and draining sensation which takes time to recover from, making it in everyone's best interest to keep a lifelong contract. After all, the most legendary pairs are the ones who've been together for many years. And with monstrous armies constantly on the attack, the world needs all the help it can get.

Due to Warriors and Guardians being so vital to the city's survival, they are simultaneously treated as royalty by society and kept under close watch by the government. Powered individuals are assigned large and lavish living spaces within a closed community while Commoners, those who lack powers, are situated in surrounding mediocre homes. A vast shield around the city is among the greatest protection against monsters of the outside world, second to the combined power of brave Warrior and Guardian citizens.

But everything couldn't possibly run as smoothly as they do now without the help of Commoners. Everyone has an important role to play in the world. Which one have you been born into?

HOW TO PLAY -

Post with your character and preferences.
Choose their role and feel free to include a brief summary of ideal partner personalities, job duties, etc.
Pick a prompt and tag around!

ROLES

Warrior: Those whose supernatural abilities lie in offensive attacks, physical strength, debuffing the enemy, etc.
Guardian: Those whose supernatural abilities lie in defensive attacks, support, healing, buffing allies, etc.
Commoner: Those who are born without any supernatural abilities. Commoners are viewed as second-class citizens, as their duties revolve around aiding Warriors and Guardians however they can. i.e. Maids, cooks, weaponsmiths, entertainers, etc.
Monster: Those who are the greatest threat to humankind. Because they also possesses supernatural abilities, it's been rumored that they share ancestral ties with Warriors and Guardians. Though Monsters are at war with humans, there are some who are indifferent to them altogether and choose a life of peace.

PROMPTS

The Contract - Could this be your very first or possibly even your thirtieth? Whatever the case, you've trusted them enough to give them a glimpse into your soul so long as you're together. Will you take advantage of that vulnerability? Or use it to build a healthy relationship? Unfortunately, not all contracts are as perfect as they may seem on the surface.

Training - Good teamwork is the difference between life and death so it's important to ensure you and your partner are focused and in sync, especially before a mission.

Bonding - Physical intimacy between Warriors and Guardians is an experience unlike any other, but emotional intimacy is where it all begins. Spend some time together outside of combat, share in each other's interests, get to know their likes and dislikes. It might not seem important at first but in the long run it will make you both stronger.

Mission Time - Is it a long and perilous journey outside the barrier to slay Monsters? A short and simple quest to gather special materials from a specific region? A reconnaissance mission to survey unexplored territory? Whatever you two were assigned, just remember what comes first: keeping each other alive.

Aftercare - The aftermath of a mission can be incredibly taxing, both on the mind and body. Injuries may need to be tended to, emotional states may need to be realigned - especially if you or your partner came close to facing death. But hopefully your partner is there to provide the comfort you'll likely need in this time of vulnerability.

Downtime - When you're busy training or working all the time, it's easy to forget just how lively the city can be. How do you choose to spend your free time in it? Partying the night away? Visiting friends and family? Or maybe you're the type who just likes to stay in for a quiet night.

Different Classes - Whether they're a maid, tailor, or even family, Commoners make up the majority of the city's population. But even if society might see them as lesser doesn't mean they should be treated that way. Over the years, some may despise or be fearful of the supernaturally powered, but there are also some who've developed or maintained close relationships in spite of it all.

Forbidden Love - It's illegal for Warriors and Guardians to develop romantic relations with Commoners, extremely taboo with those they aren't currently contracted to, and utterly unthinkable to even speak to Monsters. But love doesn't discriminate. If you have to sneak around to see your lover then so be it, but sooner or later your partner or the government is bound to find out, right?

On the Run - For whatever reason, you and someone else have decided to start a new life far away from the city and its strict rules. It wasn't easy slipping away from under the government's watchful eye and it won't get any easier with monsters around every corner, but maybe you can find a way to make it work and live happily ever after. Just know that the government always finds a way to get what they want in the end.

Wildcard - Mix and match or choose your own adventure!

1. Tracking writing-related stuff daily so doesn't work for me and my brain. I track wordcounts only monthly for a reason!! Because I was planning to finish this proofreading within two weeks or so, I thought I would therefore update my little chart thing to track by day rather than by week so the chart looks more interesting. It does look cool! But tracking daily means I read high numbers as "This is what I am capable of" and any day in which I could only manage 15 minutes or so as a failure. May have to weeklify this chart after all.

2. Especially because, while finishing within two weeks would be convenient for a variety of reasons, I'm not sure the proofreading will go as fast as I hoped. My thought were: okay, the story is a third longer than it was last time I proofread it, but only the new stuff might sound janky! Well. It's been over a year since the last time I proofread, so sentences give me different feelings now. The first chapter hadn't changed a ton, maybe 600 new words, but I spent 3h on it anyway. Just like the average last round: proofread 10 chapters in a little under 3 weeks, average time per chapter 2h54. I have 14 chapters now. Grumbles, grumbles.

3. Thinking a lot about what I want to learn next. The last couple of years have been about "process" especially around editing, what works well for me in general, how to actually edit a big project, how to manage my stamina through it. Over the last couple of months, I've been learning about structure, and loving it. Like, there will be more to learn there for sure, but for the time being I need to put into practice my new learning until it comes more naturally. While this is happening, I really want to improve how I write sentences. Line editing, I guess? My writing feels very weak there right now, or not where I'd like it to be. It won't be something I apply on the witch (would require a complete rewrite), but it's something I hope to pay more attention to for the Soul Thief. Reflecting too on how I want to learn and how I could organise myself for it. For example, I got a copy of Le Guin's "Steering the Craft" a while back that sounds like it should fit the bill? But I found it very intimidating, and I'm not good at just doing exercises either. It's easier when learning happens as part of a real story. Anyway, whatever I end up doing next, it seems like I'm moving from a "learning process" to a "learning craft" kinda mood, for the next while!

the tinder meme
Maybe you can't find a date. Maybe you don't want to find a date. Maybe this whole thing was set up by your well-meaning friends, or your prank-playing enemies, or your over-involved mother.

Whatever the reason, you're on a swipe-based dating system. Call it tinder, cuddlr, e-harmony but for shallow assholes... you're on it.

What's the worst that could happen?

cypher and I have been married a full year! That's wild! I mean, we've been together since 2019 and have been living together since 2020, but you know. Marriage! :D But yes, yesterday was our one year anniversary; we went to lunch at a nearby Mexican restaurant that I'd never been to and they hadn't been to in over six years. It was delicious! I did get a flight of margaritas (mango, blueberry, and tamarind) and extremely tasty enchiladas (salsa verde for Will and mole for me). The vibes were immaculate! It was busy but still chill and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. It was just, ah, so nice.

Will baked this adorable cake! Extremely tasty, please admire!

And I had bought this super cute card set:

with card hits like this that you then decide which one you want to do and scratch it off to see what exactly it is!

(we didn't do this one, it's just an example)

We picked one that was free and only took an hour and scratched it off to reveal a "Try Not to Laugh" challenge! We did something similar, which was queue up some Real Facts videos by ZeFrank on the TV and laugh as much as we want. It was so nice! We're both really bad at watching things so it was nice to pile on the couch together and watch something funny but informative, haha. It was really, really nice to cuddle and laugh together. ;3;

Unfortunately not all is well in Nanland. My dog Selphie has been acting a little odd lately. Panting a lot, drinking a lot, peeing a lot, not having any energy. We ended up getting her an emergency appointment and at first, the vet assumed both diabetes and Cushing's but after bloodwork, it definitely looks more like Cushing's. She's gonna have to spend the day at the vet on Monday while they figure out her medication dosages and then she'll likely be on them for the rest of her life. ;3; But all my research tells me that after she's on medication she'll be doing so much better. Which is a relief! I miss my little hiking pal. ;3;

But in better pet news, a couple of nights ago I was watching youtube videos with Dale (my bearded dragon). Lil man climbed to my back, nuzzled his snoot into the hair behind my ear, and went to sleep. ;o; Aaaaahhhh I love him a lot. <3

And in gardening news! Radishes, beets, and turnips going strong, lettuces thriving, and tomatoes started. I feel like it's been kind of a slow start for gardening but I suspect last year we jumped the gun a bit for getting things started. XD; Gotta contain the enthusiasm for when it's actually warm enough!

Challenge 296:
LOCKED DOOR

Some doors aren’t meant to be opened. A private room, a secret passageway, or a prison cell – whatever it is, you’re not supposed to get through it, and it’s going to take some work if you want to anyway.

How do your characters handle locked doors? Do they take the hint and leave the door closed, whichever side of it they’re on? Or will they stop at nothing to pick that lock, to escape, to free someone else, or just to find out what’s hidden back there?

Write a story about a locked door.

BONUS GOAL: “Are you sure this is a good idea?”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, April 13 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 296 – locked door
