Fandom Coding

I wrote the code to fill the tests from yesterday. It took a while, but the tests were passing on the first try, which... is really a testament to both how I've improved as a programmer and how helpful the tools are that I'm using. One of those tools was [regex101.com], which I usually use to write and test my regular expressions.

Fandom Arting

Finished working on the lines of my WIP! And I started trying out colours, but I really need to start studying some references at least.

Conversations in AO3 comments

I had an interesting chat to some folks about AO3 commenting culture. One of us was reminicing about "the good old days" when ao3 comments were where people had lively chats. Another was talking about how in their fandom (iirc youtube minecraft) there were often conversations so long they turned the replies into skinny spaghetti strands of fragmented words. I never recall much conversation on ao3 myself, but I love seeing it and participating in it, and I think it's worth asking an author if they'd like conversation in their comments -- they might not even thought of it, and as one of my conversation parters said, maybe they do but aren't comfortable asking. For some authors, it'd be nice for a reader to take the first step.

Recs & Reads

• Today's feeds brought to my attention [A vampire knife fit for Toga].
• Very excited to see dorothycanfly's new Dabihawks fic [Wild horses couldn't drag me away] (Rated E).
• [This art of Rei holding young Touya and post recent confrontation Touya is hitting me somewhere hard and uncomfortable]
• ... I just really enjoy this one [Youtuber who likes puzzles].

ps. just added the dabihawks ao3 feed; I think it was a mistake XD I maybe I need a modified form that updates once a day.
