Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Because books.

Uh, week's end? I have no time during the day.

Do we need to test stuff others have already done? Like, Vortex and Liese were blocking and unblocking each other, so should I do that, too?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If we had detailed records, I'd say no. But I don't know if unblocking works from the profile page, for instance, or unblocking a single post works, it's best if you try it all. Everyone will do stuff differently, so it'll be more thorough that way.

But I'm not trying to rush anyone--just trying to schedule my own stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'd say by weekend. I'm through most of it.

I had sent it to your profile address, Sox. I'll resend when I get a second.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I tried to Email an Admin while not logged in, and it bounced me back to the blank form, with:

Invalid e-mail address
Message subject missing
Message body missing

even though I had filled everything in

Edit: And the same thing when logged in.

I marked two posts in the same thread on two separate occasions, each time by separate authors.

My bookmarks appeared as a double bookmark by the same author, same post (ETA: the second post I marked). Adding a description changed both posts. Deleting one post deleted both doubles, and the first post I'd marked then appeared.

ETA 2: when I add a new bookmark from another thread, the previous bookmark disappears and I get 2x the new post.

ETA 3: When I add a third bookmark from a third thread, the previous double bookmark is replaced by a new double bookmark, the most recent one added, doubled.

Okay--please check the bookmarks (that was a weird-assed bug, but whatevs, I hope it's dead). I'll work on the email tomorrow.

Oh hey, clicking on "log out" doesn't actually log me out.
