I keep hashing over the idea of making some people Moderators over at Lunaescence.

It’s not that my archive is getting out of control — hell, it runs itself most months. I’ve somehow lucked out and gotten some of the most awesome people there.

The problem comes with the fact that we’re graduating within the next 6 to 9 months. And the internships will happen well before that.

I’m already beginning to get stories for anime and manga that I don’t know. I’ve never been able to get into Gundam Seed or Yu Yu Hakusho. FMA and Inu Yasha is awesome, but I don’t know the fandom. I don’t have time to look them up anymore either or lurk for a week or so. So I’m letting stories through that I probably shouldn’t, albeit dubiously.

But I’m not sure I want to go into Mods. I have rules for quality, not for elitism. I don’t want to see people turned completely away because they have issues with their writing; I want them to edit and try again. At the same time, I can see where someone more familair with the fandom might be a better judge of a story’s quality.

I’m running out of time, so I need to be deciding soon.

Taking a cue from Jasson, I decided to make a mirror site for my blog here. ^_^ Pretty quick I’ll link it up to my Bio page or something; since I really should fix all the links to my friends pages and well, stuff.

And in other news, back to work on the site redesign. I’m beginning to plan out the new look for the Library. Actually, I’m contemplating my rules again.

I’ve been spending quite a large amount of time trying to advertise Lunaescence, and I am getting more traffic. However, the Library has pretty much ground to a halt.

I’m honestly wondering if my rules are simply too strict for my audience. On the flip side, I really don’t want my page becoming a haven for garbage and ego stroking - plus, from feedback from some of my authors, they want my rules to remain in place or else they’d stop posting. I feel like I’m stuck between Scylla and Charybdis, in some ways.

I know I should be patient, but - seriously - I am not a good one to wait. What patience I had evaporated waiting for the house to sell. Despite the fact that I’m moved (and have been for almost 2 months now) I’m finding myself stuck in high gear.

*shakes her head* I can be so dumb sometimes. I just spent some time catching up on the important phone calls, such as to my doctor to talk about my progress keeping my bloodsugar low (I was at 80 mg/dl yesterday morning before breakfast - which is where a normal person should be), my Diabetes Educator, and then to the guy who runs the A+ Certification Class. (Back to the drawing board on how to pay for it! This school doesn’t get much funding.) Thing is, I did fine talking with my Doctor and Diabetes Educator, but I got to the A+ class and… I began stammering. I’m serious!!! I probably sounded like a Valley Girl. I suppose I was expecting a discussion of the course like at college, but instead it was more along the lines of questions - which I didn’t have.

Slowly people are joining my archive, so Jasson and I are happy. ^_^ Random people are joining the Gallery too, so I’m going to give skinning it my all and see if I can’t get it fitted in with the rest of the site. I found some nice - and surprisingly useful mods - I’m going to try too. What’s even more surprising is that Crim’s fics seem to be drawing a decent amount of people to the site. Top Referring Search Engine Phrases are all looking for Crim’s “Arise on the Occasion” - which is just cool. ^_^ 25+ hits on just “Crimson Productions” She’ll be a famous author yet!! Mark my words! One day, we’ll all look back and be able to say we knew her in the old days. ^_~ Also, speaking of great news, have you heard about the house Crim’s found? Woo! Lucky!! Congratulations!!!

What else… what else… what else? *ponders* Found one home plan that would only cost us $173,000 to build - now if only we could get our credit repaired and find decent jobs… ^_^ Oh well, gotta keep looking to the horizon - no matter how far away!
