1) My camera is fixed! I got it back from the camera shop and a guy at work took it apart to fiddle with it and... he fixed it! I owe him 4 Mars Bars apparently *lol*

2) [livejournal.com profile] merlin_sceneit is coming along nicely and hopefully should be good to go by the end of the week. The lovely [livejournal.com profile] gealach_ros has come on board as a moderator and she does an amazing job over at [livejournal.com profile] bradleycolin so I'm very excited to be working with her =) I've listed all the posts now and am just really proof reading them and stuff - my concern is whether they're broadly worded enough to include all creative endeavors and all areas of the Merlin fandom. My particular concerns are with the welcome post as I don't think the examples I listed are very good and also the beta request post where - again - I'm concerned whether or not the wording encompasses all creative media. If any of you guys could take a look through the posts before the community is launched and offer any concrit I'd really appreciate it =)

3) I'm starting work on the Timetable of Doom properly today. It took me two whole days just to transfer all the information I'd been given so I could actually start, but today is that day. *nervous* The way it usually goes is I'll totally get immersed in it over the next couple of weeks or so and get manic and stressy and flaily about it, then when it's about 3/4 done I'll decide it's complete and utter crap and want to tear it up and start again. That's the point you need to stop me, okay?

4) Thank you so, so much to [livejournal.com profile] bookwormprinces for the lovely card which arrived yesterday - and yeah, it did really make me smile ♥

5) I have a flist only post to write sometime this week about email accounts and website malarkey stuff - but you know what I'm like for waffling on so am trying to word it in a succinct way! It's something I really do need some help with though so look out for that later this week =)

Also, to [livejournal.com profile] purplella & [livejournal.com profile] surfer_buoy - if you're reading this I saw Terry yesterday and he gave me your message and I'm sorry! *hugs*

Have a lovely week all =)

*hugs*

Hehe. YAY! Like I said, it got misplaced a few times. But I'm glad it made you smile. It's just such a silly card. ;)

From: [identity profile] dazzlebug.livejournal.com


1. Yay! Hee, four Mars bars is much better than £150, hee! Take some celebratory pics of stuff!

2. Will have a look through later today if you still need people to--I'm at work right now and just jumping on quickly to comment ;)

3. Good luck! I think very soon I'll be feeling your pain, ish--the guy at work who does the rosters, Ollie, handed in his notice yesterday and so A) the shit's probably going to hit the fan today and B) he's going to hand the rosters over to me.

5. Looking forward to this post :)

*sends over chocolate, cake, Ferrero Rocher and HUGS!*

I know! I really ought to get them for him today methinks =) And hell yes, I've been promising surfer boys and Baywatch shack picspams so they'll be up as soon as I've got the pics =)

I'd love as many people as possible to look if that's okay - they need to be clear that they're not just for vidders but all creative outlets (as I pretty much took the posts straight from what I wrote for spn_sceneit) and also for all areas of the Merlin fanbdom (not just slashers like me!).

You should come stay at Hotel Muppet sometime whilst I'm doing a ToD *lol* Hell, you should just come back any time =)

This post is related to you-know-what.... so it needs to be done, and soon.

Ferrero Rocher? OMG, my frickin favourite - and I just remembered I bought you a box for when you came last! *lol*

*hugs lots*


From: [identity profile] dazzlebug.livejournal.com


Yay picspams! You know, I really love picspams. I realised this today while thinking about this Chuck picspam somebody did. Just a random one, not really anything special. But I REALLY like looking at pictures of stuff.

Will definitely take a look!

You know, after seeing Katie in September, I have 12 days' holiday left to take, and since I'll only be seeing her for a week in December, I'll still have 7 days left to take before the end of the year, so... you know... I may well have to take you up on that offer ;) I have wanted to come visit, but I didn't want to ask until you were a little more secure financially, after all the trouble you've had this year. But once I get the December trip worked out, expect me down there, probably sometime in October or November if that's cool :D

Like I said, looking forward to the post--I'm very curious as to what's been happening, what you've been putting in place and such.

FERRERO ROCHER! Yup indeedy ^_^

*hugs tight*

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


I have to post sopme pictures of thise Baywatch shacks they've now got up on the beach as they really make me lol =)

I have wanted to come visit, but I didn't want to ask until you were a little more secure financially, after all the trouble you've had this year.

You eat beans and fairy cakes though, right? Not together, obviously. Then you'll be fine =) Thought you were going to try and come to the air show? Whenever you want to come will be totally fine =)

I'll do the post this week sometime - maybe later if I get time as I'm on a half day today. Won't be much detail in it but may do an inside filter post about it when it's set up.

*hugs lots*

From: [identity profile] dazzlebug.livejournal.com


I did want to come for the air show but I won't be able to now--I have a feeling that things are gonna get busy for me for a while, what with being handed the rosters and such (since at this company it's a constant-ish job), and my holiday for Katie coming over starts August 30th so it might be a bit cheeky to take two lots of annual leave so close together. So I was thinking a little later, to space it all out, and then we can go shopping for Christmas cards again! \o/

I think merlin_sceneit looks pretty good (a few small typos here and there). Both the comm info and welcome post mention straight away that it is for all areas of fandom so I don't think anyone will mistake it for just being one thing.

From: [identity profile] adelagia.livejournal.com


In the beta request template:

- If you're in need of a beta and would like someone to look it over your latest fanfic or video for you
- Specifics: eg. beta help, colouring help, software help, spelling/grammar/structure, general overall look, &etc.) -- extraneous parenthesis bracket

In the welcome post:

- * I need a screencap of Merlin doing x or Arthur doing Y -- the 'x' should be capitalised?

Also -- maybe create a 'magic box' tag instead of using the 'locked trunk' one?

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


Ah, thanks!

And yes, it's supposed to be a 'magic box' tag and not a 'locked trunk' one so I'll get that changed.

Thanks so much x

From: [identity profile] adelagia.livejournal.com


You're welcome! I'm excited to see you get this up and running!

I'll take a look at merlin_sceneit stuff when I get home. But I'm sure it doesn't need anything more that a little tweaking.

And yay! for the camera working again =)

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


I'm so pleased and relieved about the camera - playground guy is a little love sometimes (when he's not completely winding me up) =)

I'd love it if you'd take a look, thanks so much hon =)

Hope your week is better than the last ♥

*grins* You gots a typo in [livejournal.com profile] merlin_sceneit. It looks good, hon. If you want me to help out in any way, feel free to ask. I d know and really like Merlin, even if I've yet to get into the fandom in a big way. I meant to say that earlier, but I guess I forgot. :)

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


*facepalm*

Thanks for pointing that out - I dread to think how many typos are in the comm posts I did yesterday as I pretty much flew through them!

And thank you muchly hon - makes me think I need to do more to get you throughly (and properly) hooked =)

*hugs*

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


I owe a drabble for the prompt Arthur, insomnia for the meme I'm doing and I'm totally stumped. Obviously I should watch the episodes again. :P


From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


Dirty little enabler.

Apparently =)

That's not my icon! *lol*

Go watch more Merlin!

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


I know it's not your icon! lol

This one might be though. :P

*puts Merlin on in the background*

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


Yeah, that one might be!

I saw someone using an Arthur icon the other day and I thought 'ooh, that's nice, wish I'd made that' so I went to check who had made it... and it was me.

*facepalm*

A sign perhaps that I'm Merlin obsessed and make way too many? Nah, there can't be too many =)

Which episode do you have on in the background then? *grins*

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


It is yours. :)

Uh, the pilot ep. I figured start from the beginning again. :)

From: [identity profile] kimberweeme.livejournal.com


Hurrah for your camera being fixed! Four Mars Bars is so much better than one hundred and something odd pounds.

Running late for work. Must dash.

*hugs for youuuuu*

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


I'm so, so pleased about the camera - I had absolutely no expectations that he could fix it, so I'm very pleased with him right now - we normally spend a lot of our time winding each other up but I'm making an extra special effort to be nice to him... for a little while, at least =)

*hugs lots*

Spotted only the same typos someone else has already pointed out, everything else so far looks fine. It'a pretty clear now that you're offering beta and research for graphics and written work and right now I can't think of anything you've missed - but I bet as you go along something will crop up! *G*

Whoo hoo you, getting a bloke to fix your camera for 4 Mars bars? Wow, wonder what he does for a box of Dairy Milk! *snigger*

Have a good week too hon.

Be determined, the Timetable of Doom shall not defeat thee or leavest thou a quivering heap or the Dragon shall be called upon to breath his fiery death over it. I've got the spell and all the ingredients around here somewhere for that - oh drats, no newts! PAH! :))

**hugs**

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


I'm glad it's really clear, that was my major worry - hopefully it'll be ready to go in a day or so, which is kind of exciting, expecially considering how long I've ummed and aahed about doing this =)

I told him he could have anything he wanted - he eventually said 4 Mars Bars but is now reconsidering, saying he still wants the Mars Bars but may want a little extra something too. *rolls eyes - totally isn't smirking* He and I spend a lot of time winding each other up so I'll let him just have his childish fun thinking up what that extra something is for a while =)

Oh - I am determined - I have a good feeling about this particualr ToD. And if I get stuck I'll just 'Merlin it' - y'know, wave my hand over it and mutter a few choice words and I'm sure that'll do the trick =)

*heffa hugs*

From: [identity profile] aruna7.livejournal.com


YAY for camera!!! I'm so very happy that you could get it fixed, hon!!! *clings*

Good luck for the Timetable of Doom! I know you can do it! *sends cookies your way with extra hugs*


From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


Oh me too - I do love my camera and am really relieved =)

Thank you! Made a pretty good start on it today so am pleased with myself =)

*hugs*

From: [identity profile] beckytheelf.livejournal.com


Hey sweetheart =D
I hope you're good! Good luck with the evil timetable of doom...don't let it munch on you for breakfast. *mwah*

From: [identity profile] the-muppet.livejournal.com


Hey sweetie =)

I'm doing okay and am getting through the ToD really well... maybe too well!

Have a lovely weekend ♥
