What to do when you can't upload in fanfiction.net
I can't upload in fanfiction.net! It has been this way for several days already.
Every time I try to upload a document, regardless of its format, it always encounters an error and fails to upload.
What makes it bad: Support.fanfiction.net is not working.
What makes it worse: Nobody is trying to inform the users that the site has encountered
(insert problem here) and that users won't be able to upload until (insert time and date here) . >_<
SOLUTION
(BUT I WANT TO UPLOAD A STORY/CHAPTER NOW!)
Workaround: If the document uploader is not working:
1. Go to your list of stories.
2. Select one of your stories.
3. Go to Content/Chapters.
4. Export any of the chapters that you have posted.
5. That exported chapter shall be put back to the document manager.
6. Go back to your document manager.
7. Edit the file and save the changes.
8. Add it just like they way you typically add a new chapter.
>_<
Oh well, I hope this helps.
R. Liam at work and at home
When I write Yaoi fanfiction in the office:
When I'm at work, I sometimes write during breaks. :) Hoho... can't let all the brain cells work on project plans all day, ne?
As you can see here in the picture, that is my workstation. It's got Gamakichi on the desk calendar, pictures of friends, a list of the local numbers in the office and some Naruto action figures (yeah, I still collect them... kid at heart really XD ). I have two office thinkpads (from the company) and a PC (also from the company - Japanese companies are really generous I tell you.).
I also have a starbucks cup here, desk calendar number 2, a small photoframe (which can hold several different pictures), a tissue box... and other items used for emergency purposes. :D
But I rarely get the time to write while at work, because of course, when I'm at work, I have to give the impression that I'm "working". XD Nah, seriously, I can't find time to write sometimes because 9 hours in the office is never enough for work alone. You might not believe this, but I sometimes go to work at 8:30 in the morning and go home at 9 PM. (and I'm one of those who go home early in our office) -_- ugh. But that's when we encounter issues and do cramming of work.
When I do my writing at home: When I arrive home, my usual routine is to eat dinner, watch some TV, talk with my sister (yeah, she kinda lives with me), do a little laundry sometimes or sometimes clean my room, then sit down in the living room and WRITE! OH YEAH!
I write fics at home using my laptop (this one on the right) while hugging this cute stuffed dolphin. :D Hehhe.
When it's Friday, I'm most likely downloading the latest Naruto episodes or manga. Hehe. But most of the time, on Friday nights and the whole day of Saturday, I go out with my boyfriend (i miss him already) and some of my friends.
Hanging out with them gets me really exhausted, but I certainly enjoy it. :D The exhaustion is always worth it. :) At the end of Saturday, usually I would go home and won't be able to summon any energy to even change clothes. But the feeling you get the next day kinda sucks, so I try to change before going to bed ... I TRY. hehe.
When I'm not writing or working:
I SHOP!!! MWAHAHA! I practice my nihongo, hang out with my friends, watch CSI, anime or more Discovery Channel and NGC specials (hey! I love educational channels!) .
Sometimes, I head out to the bay (we live near it :) ) and take nice pictures of the sunset.
Like this picture here on the right. This was just taken this year. :) heheh. After taking pictures, I SHOP AGAIN! Mwahahha! There's a big mall near that bay (how convenient!) you see. :D
Where I am currently:
I am having my 3 weeks off (paid, of course) from work. My sister, mom and I have gone to NJ to see our dad. :D Yey! It has been quite a few years since I last saw him (we talk through chat though hehehe).
I shall be going back home on the 23rd of April and *sigh* back to work. :( At least I get to see my 彼 and some of my friends. :) heheh.
But while I'm here, I shall be enjoying it for the mean time. :) Wheee! and oh my god!! It's so cold! I easily get cold!! Waa! Wasn't used to cold weather, back home... the normal temperature there is 77degrees F +. O__O When I got here it was below 35F. (uwaa!)
Ne, omoshiroi ne? :D hehehe.

Soubi and Ritsuka - the fighter and his master
Just recently, I have been hooked up with this shounen-ai series:
Loveless. (Picture on right: Soubi and Ritsuka from boysonboysonfilm.com)
Actually, I was just surfing through youtube on some
yaoi anime and I saw an AMV on Loveless. At that time, I still don't know what Loveless was, but decided to watch the video anyway (having lots of good ratings and all)...
...and whoa! What is this anime?!
So I went back to my
shounen-ai/yaoi guide on anime and manga and looked up Loveless... then went back to youtube to watch the 12 episodes. :)
See that kid right there? He's only twelve. The series itself has a few controversial issues but it's really fairly good in terms of plot. The story is really deep and there was a time I couldn't grasp what they were trying to say. (hehehe... gomen gomen XD ... my brain is functioning on low processors sometimes)
Ritsuka (the 12 year old) had a brother named Seimei who died two years ago. Seimei had a fighter unit (which was treated as a slave) back then whom he called Soubi (that drop-dead gorgeous blonde guy). Now in this universe, a fighter and its master must share a same name in order to be bonded and you know, be powerful and stuff.
Seimei was "Beloved" and so Soubi also was named Beloved. His name was etched on his skin on his neck. O_O
Now when Seimei died, he left in his will that his younger brother Ritsuka shall get his fighter unit Soubi.
The series starts with Soubi, meeting Ritsuka. But Ritsuka has a different name.
^_^ Whee!
I think the anime series that was made covered only the manga volumes 1 - 4... they have just released volume 7 recently. But it's not yet translated. Tokyopop has made volume 4 available last February. :)
Once you've seen the anime (or you've read the manga), I recommend reading this fic:
How To Lose Your Ears In Ten Days from Yaoikitten. Because in the series, if a person still has their ears and tail, it sort of means that they're still a virgin. :D heheheh.
Ne, I highly recommend this series. :) The story is good, characters are wonderful and the art is lovely. :D
Hell Is the Other Chapter 4 - updated
It's been more than a month ! O_O
Haloo everyone! :D I'm back and I have just updated
Hell Is the Other. :)
Sasuke is getting more frustrated. Hehehe ...
