Scribbles

In other news, I'm only a week away from my last paper. HURRAH.

FREEDOM IS IN SIGHT. :D

(Yes, I name my favourite things. I have a typewriter named Tyler.
Yep. I'm weird that way XD)

My desk was right by the window (I liked it that way), and so my Macbook would always be right there.

And then one fine day... it rained while I was outside. And I forgot to close the window.

I can still remember Melvin's last waterlogged blink as he breathed his last and blacked out the screen.

; _ ; God rest my Macbook's soul.

Anyhow, I soon managed to get myself a new PC (I shifted my desk FAR away from the window now), and his name is Prometheus.
He is one big, lean, mean machine. <3

And that is why I can't take him out on the go even if I wanted to do my work or download my notes somewhere. I would have to lug ALL of him along. I currently resort to borrowing laptops (Windows 8.0 >.>;;; ) and iPads from my school library every time I have lessons. ><

Additionally, I already have an original novel idea I want to work on, and as much as I love my phone, I can't really see myself typing it on such a small screen. (I use Scrivener, and unfortunately it does not come with an Android version >.> )

So, I sort of arrived at the idea that I STILL need a laptop.

And after being torn between getting a Windows Tablet or a small Windows laptop, I saw this.




Welp. I'll be damned.
The ASUS Transformer Book is apparently both. LOL

AND I WILL FINALLY BE GETTING IT LATER IN THE MORNING.

FINALLY I do not have to keep swinging by the library to borrow a laptop / iPad in hopes that they were not all taken up already.

I will miss the librarians though. I'm sure they have seen my face so often that they know my first name all too well XD
 

If you have logged into Livejournal recently, you would have noticed that there has been a new Terms of Service.
There is apparently no major change to privacy and data security, according to LJ.
But...
._.
I have no idea what they mean by major and minor changes. But if data privacy is going to be compromised in anyway (especially relating to famous Jpop groups) I would feel really unsafe. Fansubbing comms probably foresaw that danger and took measures to shift their comms to DW too.
Also, apparently accounts inactive for 6 months or so will be deleted (SERIOUSLY?!).

Therefore, I have made a decision with some other fanfiction writers to shift our fanfic communities and journals over to Dreamwidth.

What this move means:

1) Importing of fanfiction works

Don't worry if you aren't TOO open to the shift to Dreamwidth (DW) just yet- I will NOT be deleting this journal or teatimefics- I will simply be copying them over to a fanfic comm in DW. In future (probably in June or so), my new works will be cross-posted from DW to LJ.

2) Complete shift of NC-17 fics

I have absolutely no idea what the Russian laws dictate when it comes to content and data privacy (since I cannot read Russian), but a fellow fanfic writer suggested that I delete my NC-17 fics, just to be safe.

BEFORE YOU PANIC- these won't be wiped off the face of the Earth (heaven forbid if all my smoking-hot fics suddenly poofed), I have actually decided to set u another fanfic community EXCLUSIVELY for NC-17 - R content. I have actually toyed with this idea for a while since the start of 2017 but did not see the point of starting it in LJ (since most readers of my fics read it in TTF anyway). But since I would be moving to a new blogging platform.. why not? XD

If you want to join me in the shift to DW (in case things get bad on LJ and privacy is compromised), you can do the same. XD

My username on DW is unchanged: rainbow_teatime.
Feel free to add me in your circle if you DO go on DW.

Once I have set up the various communities, I will give an official "MOVED" announcement( along with the URLs to the two fanfic comms) here and on TTF so that no one misses out on this big step.

Finally, I want to thank EVERYONE on LJ who has commented or liked any of my fanfics- nothing really makes me happier than to learn that any of my works had made your day in one way or another. As I start moving to DW and cross-posting from there, I truly hope that my fanfic works could continue to do the same.

XOXO,

P.S. Teatimefics' username on DW remains unchanged. But do not go there yet- it's still WORK-IN-PROGRESS. XD

Mew.

Nope, I'm far from dead on livejournal. XD

I'm just in the middle of preparations for my final exams for the year. I'm already graduating a year late as it is and I'm just trying to realign my focus again.

Seeing that I have left my personal livejournal so SADLY neglected, I have decided to make a comeback here and give it a much-needed do-over.

I'm just going to post lots of random stuff whenever I feel like it, so please do not mind my passionate discussions whatsoever. :p
