The rules: post a link to 3 of your own works that you like, and if you’re up to it, explain why. Then tag a few more artists/writers to help everyone self promo and find that excitement in what they do.

Tagged by @thatawfulsnapeboy. Thank you so much! We should all do some shameless self-promo once in a while.

1. Anatomy of a Home (OUAT, 161k, complete series)

Summary:Regina saw a lot of herself in Zelena, but no one ever said giving second chances was easy. And, sometimes, love does not seem to be enough. Zelena neither wanted nor needed a family, but living in Regina's home tugged at her heart in a way she could not understand. Actually, there were lots of things about her new life she could not understand, let alone believe. Becoming a family is a process and they will have to fight for it. The thing is, a person is their own worst enemy.

I’m going to cheat a bit here and choose a whole series, but I’m so proud of this one. I could see my own growth as a writer as I edited and moved it from FF to AO3. The Mills sisters have taken up my writing for years and I regret nothing.

2. December, 17th (MCU, 4k, complete)

Summary: December, 1991. Christmas is coming closer and Tony has no intention of spending it with his parents. He is set on going somewhere warmer than New York. However, Jarvis's idea may be even warmer. And who can resist celebrating Christmas in the middle of December? Besides, he has not seen his favourite aunt in some time.

I don’t know why, but I’ve always felt quite proud of this little piece. It’s probably all the angst. Also, Aunt Peggy, Jarvis and young Tony.

3. House Potter for Children in Need (Harry Potter, 50k, in progress)

Summary:Eight-year-old Severus Snape wakes up alone at home only to be later dumped in another house. There, he must put up with an annoying toddler, a creepy cat and two adults that cannot be trusted. The place is Godric's Hollow and the year, 1981 —except for the fact that Severus thinks it is 1968.

And I couldn’t forget my current WiP. I’m a firm believer that creators need to love what they’re doing and I adore this story. Sometimes, it’s quite hard to write and, other times, it seems to write itself, but so far I’m pretty satisfied with the way is turning out. Besides, it makes a lot of people happy and I don’t mind admitting this makes me even happier.

.

Tagging all the creators I can think of right now, mutuals or not: @hklnvgl, @mariagvogel, @thefangirlsnewgroove, @thisverybadartist, @volant-endeavor, @likelightinglass. If I forgot you, I’m sorry and please, feel free to do it and tag me so I can see it!

it’s Tumblr

[17decemberarchive-blog]

This is how the Archive Team is going to save Tumblr (and you can help us)

There is a website in trouble like Tumblr

We have hundreds of warriors machines, which run a special operating system made for archiving the web.

There is a tracker which is a central ToDo list worked on by each warrior. The warriors keep the files for archiving only for a moment before they hand them to the staging servers.

The staging server collect and process the data into huge .warc files which are accepted by archive.org

archive.org process and indexed our .warc files and makes them available in the wayback machine. It takes care of the long term hosting. Each TB stored costs somewhere between 1500$ and 2000$ in the long run. 

Our minimum how much we will save is above 60 TBs. An estimate of the total size of the NSFW part of tumblr alone is 10-20 times that. Even when we will archive only a fraction it is going to be expensive.  When you donate to archive.org today. Your donation will be matched.

You can help the Archive Team (which is not related to the nice guys at archive.org) by filling out this https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoYnlweKF-5iQ2G0FB9s7pDV_Le61dDU-gMMDsc8CQ50YBjQ/viewform?hl=en form  which is used to built the ToDo list stored by the tracker. We are looking for endangered blogs like NSFW blogs for example. If you know any that you would be sad be to loose please add them to the list. That way they will be saved.

Please share.
