A couple of tweaks

Went in and added an index page for all of my unpublished work that’s present here on the website.  As I mentioned before, this is more or less to allow search engines to find it easily, though I suppose it could be useful for some.

Also went through and added “report bug” links to the bottom of all the “About” pages, because I’d forgotten to do it.  Ditto for “Unpublished Work” and the in-progress pages that haven’t gone live yet.

I’d been working off the same template sets for those, and had forgotten to add them :p

I really need to bite the bullet and validate each and every page on the website before I go forward with any new pages.  There are a lot of errors :p  It’s been a while since I coded, and never in xhtml.  Lots of little rules I need to beat into my head so I automatically do them correctly from that point forward.  I went through and did one page, and it took forever… ugh…  At least that one fully passes validation now.

Okay, time to do the nightly track on the Valentine’s Day contest, and then see if conditions around here will let me write for a while.

“About Me” pages up.

Just finished tweaking the string of “About Me” pages, so head on over there if you want to check it out.

About Me

On these pages, you’ll find pics, information and scans from my role-playing game, stories from my past, past creative projects, past interests, and a rather large collection of ancient porn writing ( over 50k words ) from before I really knew what I was doing.

I’ll update these once I have time to dig up more things to scan, and take new pictures.

Now, to see if I can get in a writing mood.  I think I’m going to start Sanctuary over from a different point, and change my main character a little.  Reading back through it after letting it sit for a while, it felt like it was dragging, didn’t get to the wood early in the story like the rest, and I wasn’t completely happy with certain elements of the main character.

Unfortunately, not much more than ideas from the original text I’ll be able to use.

Also have the next chapter of SOTM and the final chapter of Lowborn on the front burners.  I may pick up a story called “Violet Valentine” and try for the Valentine’s contest, but that’s not for sure.  Also have a multi-part story called “Jackin’ Jill” as Les that’s been on the back burner for a while.  I could pick that up at any time.

Hope you like the new pages, and I’m always musing, even when I’m not actually typing words into new stories.  That part of my creative process doesn’t stall out on me, at least :p

A Royal Sacrifice Ch. 19 LIVE

A Royal Sacrifice Ch. 19 is live at Lit.

With this replacement chapter, the story is once again complete.  If you’ve been holding off because of the gaps in the story, now’s the time to start reading!

This was actually supposed to be my chapter all those years ago, but circumstances forced me to bow out of the chain.  It feels really good to finally complete the chapter I promised – even if it is incredibly late and not under the best circumstances.

Working on the site

Just wasn’t in the right frame of mind to write today.  So, I decided to be productive and work on the website.

I’ve decided that I’m going to open up the “About” section without the new pics of me, and with only some of the scans of old stuff I’m planning to put up there.  I can always add all that stuff to the pages as it’s completed and announce it on the Web Updates section.

With that in mind, I completed the text and links to images I have scanned.  I also uploaded the last of my ancient porn stories.  All that’s really left to do now is go through and check everything.  I may decide to experiment with the font size on the ancient stories, though.  If I find something I like in a larger font, I’ll likely add it to the Cut Scenes and Unpublished Stories section of “My Work Extras” as well.

I’m very likely to add a sort of directory page to “Ancient Stories” and “Cut Scenes” for the same reason I added “Show All” to the “My Work” page – allowing search engines to reach all that content that’s behind code they don’t usually try to activate.

Odds are that it will go live either Monday or Tuesday, unless I get a solid writing spark going, or work is a nightmare.

After that, I think I’m going to tackle the LST3K section.  There are some things I’m going to use in there for donations that could be useful for the “My Worlds” section.

At this point, I’m not even sure if the “More” link will remain.  Most of what I was thinking about putting on that section is now sliding nicely into other sections of the site.  I’ll probably just end up removing it, leaving me an opening for another main menu selection at some time in the future.

Things are rolling right along.  With any luck, I’ll have the website content completely restored soon, with easy to use utilities to add more content whenever someone requests it or the whim strikes me.

Thanks to readers and voters

Thanks to the readers and voters on the most recent chapter of SOTM at Lit and SOL.

After the productive weekend last week, I’ve been on the slow side this weekend.  Just haven’t had much of a writing spark.  On top of that, I’ve been dealing with a lot of spam registrations, and did my taxes.

Now that I think I’ve taken care of both of those tasks, maybe I can get something done on the writing side.
