mcsheppersWait a minute! No 'Oops'! In fact, Oops! I did it again and I'm pleased as punch!
Following close on the heels of the out-of-the-blue update on 3/26/2019, both the AU and Half-canon lists have been augmented again, and the number of additions is a whopper.
165 (split 150/15)
What's more, 60 of those are courtesy of Brumeier! WOW!
And it's not just 165 stories, let me tell you. For example, one ofnagi_schwarz's 17 entries is a 'verse that has 83 entries!
All of the contributors are fabulous, so go leave them some love!

Date: 2019-04-12 09:55 pm (UTC)SEVENNINE of 'em. I think you started posting not too long before I fell off the face of the update. Sorry 'bout that.And since I'm traveling back in time - as far as the AO3 search goes - there will probably be more. :D
So profilic! It'd be easy to be jealous if they weren't so sweet and generous, too!
Edit: fixed the number, because I never remember to count the half-canon.

Date: 2019-04-13 12:42 pm (UTC)It's just that the receptionist went to get ice and got sidetracked by a conversation in HR and then was distracted by the selection of cookies someone's kid was selling. That she was delayed due to realizing she still didn't have ice and had to backtrack to get some before you were finally appropriately greeted doesn't mean that you hadn't arrived.
(It means she needed some caffeine, too. :grin: )

Did you see that one of your went on this round? (I'm guessing. If Lucius is in the area, there are plenty of vexed wenches.)

Date: 2019-05-02 10:59 pm (UTC)Also, I may have snuck in another update last weekend (68/5) without an official announcement. :D
I adore our fandom, so it's a labor of love. (Though I really should have taken you up on your generous offer to help a few years back. Dang my control issues, anyway!)

Date: 2019-05-08 01:19 am (UTC)At this point I'm pot-committed, because the thought of having to transfer the 1300+ entries over to a spreadsheet fills me with dread and makes me want to gnaw my paw off to get away.
See, there's no way you could be aware of my burning hatred for Excel, the single least user-friendly program I've ever encountered. I know it's really good at math (as long as my social-worker colleagues haven't borked the formulas on the budget form...again), and sorting by A-Z. Sadly, the special characters I use to denote new entries make alphabetization by computer impossible.
So I do it in Word. My doc for additions has these four lines at the top, and at the start of the half-canon section:
[special characters]job/job = <a href= LINK>title 'verse by author</a> – words ( stories)
[special characters]Ex-pilot job/job = <a href= LINK>titleauthor</a> – words
[special characters]Pilot (type)/job = <a href= LINK>titleauthor</a> – words
[special characters]job/job = <a href= LINK>titleauthor</a> – words
I c&p the relevant one to the appropriate spot, then swipe screens over to internet and c&p all info except word count, which I just enter. I really don't find it onerous, since I never have to retype the html.
