TICKY BOXES

Yay! AO3 finally has "category" (het/gen/etc) as ticky boxes rather than a dropdown menu. That's been bugging me since I had to set my very first uploaded story as "multi" when it's "f/f + m/f", since everyone's going to assume that means "m/m + m/f" and/or polyfic.

Of course my most recent "multi" stories have actually been m/m/f but that's not the point :)

My dropdown menu still says I don't have any f/f which kind of defeats the purpose, if it's still not showing up later I'll have to send a report. EDIT: wait, no, I just forgot to click "update" after previewing. Next thing I would like implented: editing the header of works without previewing the whole thing. EDIT 2: Wait OMG you can! Double yay!

Also: Icons!

Plus: Livejournal FINALLY has the option to disable comments but keep them visible. Oh, the number of times someone put their foot in their mouth and had to hide the resulting discussion in order to halt it. Of course people will still decide they don't like the comments they've been getting and hide/delete them, but now they have less of an excuse :)

Ginger spice cake not-recipe

Greens cake mix, 2/3 of a bottle of Bundaberg brewed ginger beer, 1-2 teaspoons spices (3/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cardamon and coriander, but if I could eat nutmeg or cloves I'd have added them too)

Nomnomnom.

Of course, I've now run out of interested brewed softdrinks to try unless I want to use sarsparilla. I guess I could try carbonated fruit juice, but I can see that tasting like a regular cake made with fruit juice instead of water. There's mildly alcoholic drinks, but beer cake sounds..wrong.

Farscape thoughts

So, I was feeling bored this evening and after thinking for a while I decided that what I felt like doing was watching Farscape. I've been meaning to dig up the dvds from someone for a while(*), but having failed to do so yet I'm using Youtube, which while unsatisfactory in the long term has let me confirm that I do find it watchable.

Now the reason I've never watched much of the show is I got sick of the crappy episodic Star Trek knockoffiness midway through season 1, but I've heard it improves. So, do people have recs for the best way to watch it to minimise cruft without missing important bits of plot etc? ("Skip most of season 1 but you need to watch all of season 2" etc) Cam's watched it so I can ask him but he's out and it's always good to have a variety of opinions.

It's funny watching it again for the first time (apart from odd bits here and there, and vids) since 1999. At the time I was at pretty much my lowest tolerance for tv sf, much to distantcam's dismay. Of course, back then it didn't look so dated!

I remember deliberately not letting myself fall in fangirly love with Aeryn since I was sure they'd just screw her up. It is nice to know this time around that from what I've heard they don't ^_^

(*)Yes, since from before I started playing "Dragon Age" and realised Claudia Black was Morrigan's voice actress, I'm not quite that sad a fangirl. It did help though.
