dw_maintenanceHappy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.
Citrus Con Swag + I made a bag!

peasinaI thought I'd share a selection of things that have been occupying me and/or making me smile recently.
First, these two beautiful Rem/Misa (Death Note) things I grabbed at Citrus Con.
( Remisa goodies )
Second is my second ever crochet project, now completed: a striped tote bag ^^
( Bag pics and next project plans )
I doodled two Magnemites for these tiny silver frames I found at a jumble sale recently that will probably end up on my future Magnemite ita bag :)
( Mini Mags )
There are currently two writing pinch hits up for grabs for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
pokepodproject's Unown round if you're looking for a fun writing challenge. They both got claimed this evening! Thank Arceus for amazing pinch hitters ^^
I'm really happy with how things are going with the event. The stories submitted so far are so creative (can't wait for reveals so everyone gets to read them!) and I'm honestly feeling a lot more connected to the Unown than I ever have. We'll probably continue doing mini rounds in gen order when relevant, but I've also been thinking about how fun it could be to mix things up with regional form or mega rounds too. Because, well, if we continue doing one generation per year, we won't be finished with generation ten until 2034 XD

Chat corner, (non)canonical
Mar. 9th, 2026 08:38 pmannathecrow posting in dreamwarsHi,
here's your weekly chat post. Do you want to talk about Star Wars?
~ ~ ~
I was thinking about getting back to writing, and that led me to musing about headcanons. The original meaning, a piece of world- or character-building that isn't canon, but you feel it fits so well that your brain just treats it as if it were. Do you have any SW headcanons? It's a bit more tricky for SW I think, with the Legends vs Disney canon... maybe a SW fandom-specific type of headcanon is a person's choice of which Legends events they still consider "real"?
Jan + Feb Event Roundups
Mar. 7th, 2026 04:40 pmpeasinaUnfortunately, flu and forgetfulness means I'm late with what I'd hoped would be monthly event roundup posts, but that's okay - I can combine January and February in one post, then I'm all caught up! Maybe, by December, I'll be better at keeping a regular schedule for these XD
Also unfortunately, DW is absolute ass at formatting anything with multiple cuts, font styles, or images, so to avoid pulling my hair our for hours, I'm not going to style this like my last roundup post as I hoped (where you can open the cuts of events you might be interested in) and instead put everything under one cut. If DW continues to fight me, please forgive any spacing issues you may encounter.
Events covered are: Voice Team Mystery Box, Fandom Trees, Seasons of Drabbles, Candy Hearts Exchange, Three is Not a Crowd, Fresh Femslash Salad Bar, Femslash February Podfic Edition, and Perfect World Shipping Week. I also ramble about upcoming events at the end.

Chat corner, dressed up (or down)
Mar. 2nd, 2026 07:32 pmannathecrow posting in dreamwarsHi everyone,
I'm here with the weekly chat post. Something to share? (I really loved all the pet comments last week, by the way.)
~ ~ ~
Okay, hmm... I haven't done anything Star Wars-y lately. I did seriously consider wearing my SW sweatpants to work today, though! (Laundry organization failure. Again. I am a functional adult.) Do you have any SW-themed clothing? Merch, cosplay, casual cosplay, something else?
