crafting, babble, and recs
I finished my most recent afghan
It wasn't a lot of yarn (only 600 yards or so) so it's not very big, 38"x21.5" give or take, but daughter was over when I ran out of yarn and asked for it so it went home with her immediately after I snapped the photo. For my next craft project I decided to try a rectangular rug (mostly because I suspect my yarn stash doesn't have enough of any one thing to make another decent-sized project). We'll see if it works or not.
Hurtcomfort exchange's noms close soon, I need to remember to do one last pass and see if there's anything else I can think to nom tonight.
There's been a few popular authors in one of my fandoms that recently deleted their works from AO3 so here's a reminder that works can be shifted to an anon collection easily (which still gives you control of your works) or you can orphan your work instead of deleting thing you don't want associated with your username anymore. Also, if there are fics you've reread numerous times and love and don't want to lose, other than downloading a copy for yourself, you can always add the work to the wayback machine. (You can also sometimes find deleted works there, if you have links for them or at least the author's name. Also, as an FYI, sometimes the work is there but might come up only when "?view_adult=true&view_full_work=true" is added to the url, no idea why, adding that also sometimes is needed when it errors regarding trying to check/save in the first place).
The wayback machine is great, I've been trying to remember to backup all the links I post to my resource posts there and now I'm going to try to check to see if the fics I rec are there too.

recthething recs (all MDZS/The Untamed)
Make Me a List of What You Lost by Eevee (EvaM), kazzashepard (49k)
Summary: Demonic cultivator (and bisexual legend) Wei Wuxian offers to marry his definitely-a-lesbian best friend so she can receive her inheritance and take over for her sexist uncle as the head of Qishan Labs, the medical facility turned experimental cultivation incubator where Wei Wuxian has worked ever since his life, love, and future all went up in flames.
There's just one problem - he's already married to the college sweetheart he hasn't seen in thirteen years. Now he'll have to return to Gusu to face up to old love, hard truths, and long-kept secrets, all the while trying to remember that he's there to get a divorce. (Modern cultivation AU with great world building and tropes)
I called your name 'til the fever broke by darkredloveknot (enheduane) (10k)
Summary: In the forest, in a house drenched in memories, there lives a witch. One night he gets a visitor who has forgotten who he is. (Modern with magic, light horror AU. Wonderfully lyrical)
Students of Song and Seeds by DizziDreams (20k)
Summary Snippet: Lan Wangji had two goals when he arrived at Gusu University, where he would be studying Illusion Magic in the university's acclaimed Music program: 1- Graduate with honors. 2- Do not acquire a soulmate. (Great modern-with magic university soulmate AU with a lot of interesting world building)

I make it a point to dl any piece of fan fic I know I'll want to re-read several times.
Now I need to do the same with shows. :D
no subject
DLing favorite fics is smart. I do have a number on my phone but there's always one or two I read but don't realize I'm going to want to revisit and then lose track of.
I haven't DLed shows in forever, not since there got to be so many different (legal and illegal) streaming platforms. There are a few things I probably should DL to make sure I always have access to but I don't really have much storage for media like that.

I definitely dl the ones from YT and they're there and then gone.
