I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

I posted some brief meta about issues that came up while rewriting (and re-rewriting, and re-re-rewriting) a fic. :-)

DEAR HARRIETTE: I am an openly gay and rather feminine man from the Midwest currently enrolled at college in New York City. Over the weekend, my college friends and I went out with some guys they know from another college upstate. The entire night, the men they brought were making microaggressions and homophobic remarks that made me feel like I was back in high school in the Midwest. When talking about the night with my friends, I felt like I was sucking joy out of the room and robbing them of their experiences. I don't want my negative experiences to hinder theirs; however, I do want them to know how the men made me feel. I don't know how to navigate this situation. Harriette, what do you think I should do? -- Awkward Encounter

WIP Big Bang/WIP Reverse Bang start in two days! Us mods are so excited, and we hope you are, too.

So, this round we're going to retire about 125 fandom banners of ones that either are being grouped under new banner to consolidate fandoms or are fandoms that never got much traction in the last few rounds. We are also going to add some new fandoms to the list and on that score, we would love suggestions! Here are the changes we are making:

New Fandoms

K-Pop Demon Hunters
The Amazing Digital Circus
Starfleet Academy
911 Nashville
Heated Rivalry
Game Changers book series (all characters not in HR)
Wonder Man
Thunderbolts*

Separated Fandoms:

Deltarune
Helluva Boss

Consolidated Fandoms:

The DCEU movies will be listed under a banner of the live action Justice League
Some of the single character MCU movies will be listed under the non-specific MCU banner (the old Avengers one will be used to list all the various MCU movie titles).

I will also try to do a banner for the comics X-Men as I have one for the live action movies going under my MCU listing of banners (since I'm renaming all the banners we're using and grouping them with the MCU thanks to them showing up in "Deadpool & Wolverine" as well as "Avengers: Doomsday") and would like input on whether I should do various X-Men comic titles or list X-Men who are not in the live action movies (or possibly both).

As we primarily do most of our advertising on Tumblr and I have over 350 fandom banners to use for that purpose (plus the 125 we're retiring), if you would like a banner for a specific fandom to use in advertising here on Dreamwidth or in Discord servers and in other places, let me know and I'll upload any banners I've got for it (or make one if I don't) and then once we have the sign-ups here on Dreamwidth you can link to them.
