I regularly have dreams I refer to as "Big Luca Dreams", wherein my dog Luca is very big. They are my favorite dreams.

This is how big Luca is in the Big Luca Dreams

the human body is a fascinating piece of junk. a real poorly coded thing. if i see my own blood, it forces a hard reset (loss of consciousness). if i stand up too fast, i glitch to the Dizzy Dimension, where i sway in silence and see exciting new colors with Bonus High-Pitched Sounds! etc etc.

ME: hold up. you see that? train's been through here FRIEND: how can you tell ME: tracks. they're not fresh, maybe 60, 80 years old FRIEND: no chance it'll come back, then ME: don't be so sure. That's well within their lifespan... and they're highly territorial

my mom has the radio on and the 80’s version of one night in bangkok started playing… i completely stopped because i only knew it in the context of chess the musical and had no idea it was played on the radio. she was like what do you mean. this is just a random 80’s song. and i was like mom. he’s singing about chess. did you ever wonder why.

hearing a song you only know from a musical on the radio produces the same kind of “This Is Wrong” feeling as seeing a teacher at the grocery store… you don’t go here!!!

An AO3 Fic Dating Issue

Here's a post I hope will help some people, because I seem to be increasingly encountering fics that have been accidentally backdated by the author. This will mean fewer people see the fics, but don't worry it can be avoided/fixed!

Here is the issue:

This a draft I made just to illustrate. By default the 'published' date on an AO3 fic/chapter is not in fact the publication date, it's the date the draft was created. This is not obvious in the interface and if you write in the AO3 text box (please don't do that, it's too risky) or if you create a draft there and spend a few days tweaking the tags, or if you've put all your chapters there at once and will be clicking 'post' later this can be a problem. Most of us don't bother to check the date on our fics when we post them because we'll just assume it must match the date of posting. After all it says "Published" right there!

Here is how we can fix the wrong date:

Clicking on 'Set a different publication date' will open a dropdown menu where you can pick the current date so that your fic/chapter will post with the actual date of publication.

I don't know if accidental backdating is becoming more common but in the past year I've talked at least 4 or 5 people through this process because I spotted a fic that was newly posted but not at the top of the page. I'm sure there's a lot more I've missed because they ended up further back in the tag than I scrolled to that day, or it's a multichapter where I read part of it but didn't subscribe so I never saw the updates. Most of them had very low hits when I spotted them, which is usually the thing that made me wonder if this draft dating issue had happened - if your fic is not being seen there is a chance this is why, so it's worth checking the date on it especially if you're new to AO3.
