New community! comicsfanfiction (all comics - including webcomics or graphic novels) - I haven't started adding my works to it yet, but I figured I'd post about it here first. I felt bad that all the other genres have a community now but yet not comics.

Over at the new community I posted a list of Other {Comics Fandom-Specific} Communities to Post to - an {incomplete?} list of both active and non-active communities to try to inspire some crossposting/activity in those communities. I'm sure I'm missing some communities/fandoms, because I mainly focused on DC & Marvel 'cause I'm more familiar with those fandoms, so if anyone happens to be a part of or know of others, let me know either here or there.

Also because of stumbling upon nevanna's journal I realized I missed the 25th Anniversary of X-Men: Evolution (November 4, 2000) - although did I? 'Cause in a way I sort of honored it by writing several drabbles for it this year for the first time in years, and made banners with screenshots at xmen100, made tables with Episode Titles from XME at xmen15 and even made several icons this year for it (although technically haven't released them at harpieicons yet & they're only currently located at Muse-Insanity.com/Icons). But Yeah I love that series so much - and I think it'll continue to hold a special place in my heart forever.

Also realized that Supergirl (TV series) has an anniversary this year - 10 years (October 16, 2015). I did make a few icons for that series this year (again mostly released at Muse-Insanity.com/Icons right now), but I haven't written anything new for the series (or the overall Arrowverse or DC Universe) lately although it has been tempting me a bit. Next year Legends of Tomorrow would be 10 years as well, and Superman & Lois would be 5 years.

Incase anyone wants to get free points/paid time, moodthemeinayear is offering if you participate/make a moodtheme (even just partially!), for full details check it out here. I've been wanting a moodtheme, but I can't seem to decide what to do. I'm probably going to do either a Marvel one? Or maybe just MCU or X-Men. Someone had made a Hawkeye comics moodtheme but the download button is gone/locked? now so I can't use that one sadly. Honestly I don't use the mood theme that munch, partially because I don't have one that I like. I don't know if I'll make one, but maybe? If I do, I'll definitely share it.

sapphic stocking stuffers is happening and I've made a few people some icons {so far!}, namely for the Sailor Moon, DC Comics, Once Upon A Time, and MCU fandoms. So Mars/Venus, Mars/Moon, Moon/Venus, Cassie/Rose, Rose/Raven, Elsa/Emma, Maria/Natasha, and Natasha/Pepper. There's a lot of people with fandoms I don't know and I feel weird touching those. I also received BEAUTIFUL CHEETAH/WONDER WOMAN & HARLEY/IVY ICONS by the lovely likealighthouse - yay!!!

Still haven't gone through the list of fandomtrees yet, so I have to do that this week sometime. Also finished the rewatch of Moonlight - it did get better and Josef had a lot more screentime in the back half of the show thankfully. I don't think I ship Mick/Beth anymore though? Not really anyway... I think I'm more intrigued by Josef/Beth - the way he basically brightens as soon as he sees her is just perfect. I wish we could have had more scenes and another season, but I do kinda understand why it didn't get another season compared to other Vampire shows did before or since. It also may have done better after the Twilight film was released but it happened before during the 2007-2008 TV schedule. But I think I'm ready/motivated to write for the smallfandomfest for the ship/fandom.

In other news, I completed Dispatch for the first time last night (at like 2AM lmao) - and I loved it. I definitely want to play the game again because of my bad "hacking" skills (and maybe a few other selections? IDK) Spoilers: Invisgal went bad by the end! I want her and Robert to kiss in the end! I couldn't pass basically any of the hacking parts once the anti-virus things started appearing Ugh, I'm gonna try again. Basically I ship everyone with everybody? Mainly OTP-ing hard on Invisgal/Robert though right now even though I started shipping Blonde Blazer/Robert first. I also like Robert/Blonde Blazer/Invisgal, Robert/Malevola, Robert/Prism, Robert/Coupé, Blonde Blazer/Invisgal, Blonde Blazer/Malevola, Invisgal/Malevola, Invisgal/Prism, Golem/Malevola, Prism/Coupé, Coupé/Malevola and Flambae/Waterboy. Oh I'm definitely going to check out fics soon, so if anyone has any favorites, please let me know!

 (second time trying to post this, so it's not as organized and well thought out like the first time - stupid internet crashing)

Anyway first things first, new header over at harpiewriting - Originally made for a challenge for seasons_of_fandom but I ended up missing the deadline because I was puttering around trying to write something for it instead of graphics... Yeah should've just stuck with the graphics so yes, new header featuring the Scarlet Witch (I'm kinda obsessed with her right now if you can't tell...) 

So over the weekend, which also distracted me a bit (okay more than a bit) from probably important things I should be doing (definitely) I added at least 75 older works to AO3. I did backdate those to the correct dates/years, with usually only a minor edit here and there plus adding tags/collections when possible and only editing the other works already there for the collections/tag corrections. I don't know about anyone else, but I feel weird using tags there for my older works even though I know they are very helpful and I use them all the time to find stuff I want right now. Now the current total of works at AO3 is 237, and the total I get on my fic journal is 657. Now some of the really old works (pre-2004 & other unfinished works) are probably not going to be added unless heavy editing is done, and some drabbles got combined under a single header/fic/series title thing so I think that just means I might only have like 400-ish left to go? 

Now so far the fandoms I have left to really add are the following (plus the # tags at my fic journal): BTVS/ATS (31 tags), DC Comics (45 tags), Drake & Josh (2 tags), Glee (16 tags), H2O Just Add Water (13 tags), Harry Potter (67 tags), Heroes (53 tags), High School Musical (15 tags), House MD (10 tags), HIMYM (2 tags), JONAS (1 tag), Life With Derek (9 tags), Medium (5 tags), Mythology (4 tags), Past Life (1 tag), Smallville (167 tags), Supernatural (54 tags), Twilight (61 tags), WOWP (35 tags), and X-Men (92 tags).

Now I got basically all the smaller tagged fandoms added to AO3 already (minus a few of them above that apparently I missed plus several of those tags should technically be knocked down because I do have a bunch at AO3) so I think I will keep doing whatever has less tags and go up from there simply because I know I have a lot of crossovers that reach into those fandoms and thus kick numbers down faster (I'm looking at you Smallville!).

So while adding the works to AO3, and honestly even before that I had noticed several LiveJournal communities have been deleted, namely batfic100 (which between that and twilight100 probably spawned my love for these types of communities) and dyno_drabbles (I want to say this was a Harry/Pansy fic challenge community but might have been a HP rarepair one? IDK and Fanlore gives me nothing and I just have the participation banner from that & my Harry/Pansy works which I completely forgot I wrote). Now these two are only examples and I've noticed even several prompt table type communities got deleted as well, which makes me sad and probably over precaution since I just added THIS list of previous prompts from comicdrabbles and THIS list of previous prompts from tv_100/tv_100 and they are probably not going to be the only ones. Definitely going to do one done one [located HERE] for avengers100 (although that has less prompts & so not as overwhelming, plus I know I already participated in some) I want to add URLs to works I did for all the challenges. I don't know if I'm going to work on that anytime soon but that's on the pile of "I want to Complete".

Nostalgia is so real right now guys...

Now while also making banners/prompts this weekend for xmen100 & mcu100 (which brand new prompt up as of yesterday!), I was thinking of maybe doing Character and/or Pairing bonus Monthly Challenge to try to encourage more activity? I don't know if that'll add to or hinder the comms, but I'm hoping for more activity. But I also figured that might be better than being stuck with a character/pairing/prompt that apparently no one wants to write for or lack of ideas.

Also haven't officially posted this anywhere yet beside the sidebar of harpieicons but I've made an icon website, mostly because I originally just needed somewhere to host my new icons since photobucket went paid and the other photo storage options were meh? So it's a little old-fashioned in this day an age but I present to you Muse-Insanity.org/Icons and yeah I didn't think of a name for it but meh I don't think it needs one (I've only stumbled upon like 2 other people with icon websites, but both seem static and not active, one actually had some sort of sorting program? system? but that just leads to a dead download URL sadly). Should've probably used the original domain as it, but maybe I'll eventually add my fics to that instead? Idk, probably not. Not all the pages work so if you happen to visit and stumble upon a deadlink I apologize. Most of the newer icons for the various challenges I've done are there and only a handful old ones have been added. I did manage to resave all my old ones when I did the import from LJ to dreamwidth since photobucket let me see them at dreamwidth (but yet not all LiveJournal? That still doesn't make sense unless it has something to do with LJ/Russia.), but I apparently had NO structure on how to name the icons so they are all over the place so that's when I'm more focused & motivated aka that's another thing on the pile of "I want to Complete".

Moving all the old galorechallenge prompts from its yolasite to it's new home galore.muse-insanity.org (DON'T MIND THE OLD GRAPHIC AS THE HEADER) mostly slow-going (and thus another thing on the pile of "I want to Complete")... mainly because I get easily distracted by everything else, but it is coming back.

I do need to update Capes & Crusaders, but I've been kinda focused on everything else, it's kinda on my back burner even though I'm still randomly saving pictures for it.

I nearly started every paragraph with "Anyway" and "Now" and "So" and "Also".

Also (lmao) my icon right now is from Harley Quinn the Animated series and the latest season (& that particular episode[s]? in particular) made me ship Bruce/Lois/Joker for the first time ever and I never freaking expected that to show up. I mean yes, Bruce/Lois I've shipped, but Joker isn't really a character I ship anyone with normally? But I think that character kinda went though a character growth that I liked? I don't know it's been X amount of months since I watched it and I'm still shocked. I also looked for anything on AO3 for the pairing and found nothing. Bruce/Lois works yes, Bruce/Joker yes, Bruce/Lois/Joker no. I did discover I really like Bruce/Clark/Lois though so there's that?

Oh and I signed up for fandomtrees this year... I completely spaced on the fandomgiftbasket. I always seem to forget to hit the Track button on the comms but I'm doing better on that.
