Today, try to view things through someone else's eyes. Choose a character (or even a real person that you know) that has a view or belief that's very different from yours and write a paragraph or two of them thinking about it and why they feel that way.

It doesn't have to be something important or monumental. It could just be as simple as them hating root beer. Maybe they hate the taste. Or maybe root beer brings back a traumatic childhood experience.

But if you'd like a challenge, go for something deeper. Why does the villain in your favorite TV show do the things they do? Do they just like doing evil things? Or do they believe that they're actually doing the right thing?

Olá de Lisboa! (I'm in Lisbon right now for work...)

Thank you everybody who has tested on canary - I'm about to push the code up to stable. I know that not everything has been tested and there's a lot in this deploy, so I expect some things to break or be weird. We have ported a lot more of the "older" pages to the newer formats, so there will be some UI changes in a few places, but it shouldn't be anything too major.

Watch for: One thing I know will require tuning, we now have added rate limits (which basically allows us to control how rapidly DW pages are loaded.) This is a protection mostly designed against bots, but any time in my career I've rolled out new rate limits, I've learned someone is hitting them and they have to be tuned. So if you see them, please let me know!

Anyway please do comment and I'll work to fix things today. We also have a rollback ready in case we need to (and I'll be honest, I expect we may need to... we really should do more frequent deploys.)

Known Issues

Fixed: Search has gone walkabout.
Fixed: Some UI weirdness with Manage Tags.
Fixed: Login redirects are not working.
Fixed: Login page sometimes returning 'invalid form submission.'
Fixed: Rename keywords checkbox on icons page also gone walkabout.
Fixed: Uploading large icon files erroring / not going to the image editor.

As always, thank you for your patience and supporting our scrappy little service!

( I know it isn’t my turn to post this, but it’s been a week)

Write a scene where your characters are in the midst of an argument. It could be over something trivial, or something major. Bonus if you write them making up ( or not)

Current Mood: blank

Side of a round building made from flat stones. Concentric banks and ditches surround it, shored up with stone walls. Remains of low buildings in stone visible next to it in the innermost circle.

I stole this from

trobadora . Because I couldn't resist. :D

Give me a fanfiction trope and I'll grade it:

A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.
B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.
C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.
D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won't necessarily put me off reading something.
F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.

Current Mood: amused

Challenge 303:
DISTANT THUNDER

There’s a storm coming...maybe.

Was that lightning, or just a quick flash of someone’s flashlight out of the corner of your eye? Is the sun setting, or are those clouds rolling in and making everything go dark? There’s an ominous rumbling in the distance, just far enough away you can’t be sure what it is. Thunder? Trucks on the highway? Hoofbeats? Is it time to go inside and take shelter, or stay outside a little longer and look into it?

Write a story about thunder.

BONUS GOAL: “It wasn’t supposed to rain today.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, June 22 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile

The conference in Cyprus organised us a trip to the Paphos Archeological Park. This is an excavation of the old city, parts of which date back to prehistoric times, and there are definitely Greek bits but in the main it is a Roman city and it is famous for the mosaic floors.
