Well, though it was quite close, based on the Tumblr poll as well as the comments on this comm, the May-July date is the winner!

There'll be more info closer to that date, so watch this space. :) Until then!

Our third check-in point for Small Web September is at hand!

We're now on the home stretch - but there's still lots of time to play around with your small web project(s), so if you're just joining us, welcome! We hope you enjoy taking part and chatting with everyone in the comments.

The theme of this week's check-in is communities! There are lots of cool groups, forums, mailing lists, and social media movements for or adjacent to the small/indie web - I'm posting in one right now! These can be really excellent places to find like-minded hobbyists, share tips and resources, and take part in challenges and events (again, like this one :D).

So, in the comments, share how you're doing with your small web project(s) and also where you like to spend time talking about the small web, if anywhere! I'm not going to too-rigidly define what counts as a "community", so if you think it counts, mention it here.

As a bonus discussion prompt: what is something you would love to see/join a community for (this one doesn't have to be small web-related!) but you haven't yet found one? Have you ever thought of starting it yourself?

As a reminder, this is the third of four ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on them, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide and all discussion is welcome. For our previous check-in post, head on over to Small Web September Check-In 2: Halfway House/Troubleshooting!

There'll be a longer gap than usual between this and our next (and final!) check-in, which will be posted on Tuesday 30th September, the last day of the challenge - so look out for it then!

Recently found out about this lovable anxiety-filled character named Tomoko from Watamote, being quite late to the entire series as it is. Went on sketching her face.

The collection is live! We got a total of 30 fics this time, the most we've ever had for a flash round — way to go, guys!

As usual, please do not check out the fics via the fandom list page on AO3. Only a couple of fandoms are listed there, due to AO3's wrangling policy, so most of the stories will not show up on said page. Instead, there's an alternative fandom list below. (You can also browse the collection via the works page on AO3, where all are accounted for.)

All stories, ordered alphabetically by fandom:

( behind the cut )

Thank you so much for taking part! I know these are all nonexistent fandoms, but I hope we can try to check out our fellow participants' stories and comment wherever possible. If you're not familiar with any of the fandoms, you can also try browsing the tag page to see if there are any themes/tropes/kinks that catches your eye.

Happy reading! And if this flash round got the better of you, just remember that the normal round isn't that far off :) I really hope to see all of you then ♥

In our final few days we left Oregon, though stayed the night just outside its border in Mount Shasta. The mountain is clearly seen looming over the city but we could see it for many miles as we headed south and finally passed into California.

The deadline is almost upon us, which means that there's now one day left to finish your fic(s)! Technically, that is, because I'll throw in the same "surprise" mini-extension as I always do, and keep the collection open for submissions until an hour before reveals (which will happen at 00.01 GMT on the 19th).

Good job to everyone who has already posted, and best of luck to those who are still writing!

When I first watching Lucky Star, I simply couldn't get into it. I know its akin to American shows like Seinfeld where it's practically about nothing and I got behind that, but I simply couldn't got to be invested after the first four episodes. Decided to give it another go after watching clips on youtube and finding Izumi practically adorable after all this time.

Had also finished Area 88 (2004,) and despite its mild ending and how it directed itself, I enjoyed it for what it was.

Another Anime with a cute protagonist I'm trying out is The Great Jahy Won't be Defeated (or something like that,) which so far it's entertaining, and Heatguy J, which I'm sure I've watched some episodes of it before. Best way I can describe it is like Inspector Gadget if he were badass.

Will update on more progress on said titles.

Somehow, we’re already (nearly) halfway through the month of September 😱 Where has the time gone?!

How is everyone doing with their small webbing so far? The theme of this check-in is troubleshooting: if there’s any part of your Small Web September project that you aren’t sure how to accomplish, or maybe something that you worked on didn’t turn out quite right, come and ask about it here!

It doesn’t have to be specific to this month, either – maybe it’s a past project that you hit a wall on, or a future project you’d like to start. If you haven’t run into any issues yourself, feel free to offer suggestions to people in the comments who have!

Here are some question prompts for this check-in:

How is/are your Small Web September projects going? Are you working on the same things that you put down in your Goals (if you decided to set goals), or something else?
What do you plan to focus on for the second half of September?
What’s an element of your project that you found unexpectedly challenging? Did you manage to solve the problem, or not yet?

As a reminder, this is the second of four ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on them, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide; all discussion is welcome.

Z and I are picking up new household repair skills. A couple of weeks ago we learned how to patch holes in the driveway, because getting our bumpy one entirely redone is not happening anytime soon, and after pouring two bags of cold tar into the biggest hole and punching it down as best we could, we have a slightly less bumpy driveway! We're hoping to take advantage of the warm weather to do the other big ones. I've also been trying to clear out the plants attempting to invade it.

Our attempts to repair a window screen did not go so well. We'll have to give that one another go at a later time.

We bought a water softener earlier in the week and were going to install it this weekend, but we ended up having issues with the filter pitcher we had been using to make our water palatable. Might have gotten some sort of bacteria or something growing in it. So right after my skating lesson finished, we went to buy all the parts to install it and did so in a marathon plumbing session last night. Had a bit of an issue getting the fittings to/from the softener to tighten enough, but we managed it on our second try, and no leaks! And our tap water now tastes perfectly good! Certainly learned a lot installing that. We're hoping it will also help with issues we've had with our laundry.

(This plumbing work ended up delaying the posting of the next chapter of my WIP, sorry readers! Tasty water came first.)

Z has also decided that he wants to learn how to cook more, and he spent quite a while on Wednesday working on herb bread from the machine and tomato soup for dinner for both of us. It smelled amazing, and I love tomato soup, so you can imagine my surprise and disappointment when I ate one spoonful of soup and had one bite of bread and discovered both were far too hot-spicy for me to eat. Poor Z found a recipe for an Italian herb mix that advised adding a disproportionate amount of red pepper, and he used it in both. At least he was able to eat it, and he made up for it with a delicious pasta dish the next night!

Kodansha is teaming up with Humble Bundle once again to bring you the Fall In Love With Shoujo collection!

This collection includes:

Shugo Chara!, volumes 1 thru 12

Shugo Chara Chan!, volumes 1 thru 4

Peach Girl, volumes 1 thru 18

Mars, volumes 1 thru 15

Say I Love You volumes 1 thru 18

A Condition Called Love, volumes 1 thru 16

You can get the entire bundle of manga for only $30 USD. That said, you can also get the first volume of each series for only $1 USD! All items are available as ePub and PDF.

This bundle supports Book Industry Charitable Foundation, which has helped bookstore and comic book store employees and owners who encounter unexpected financial crises. The Binc Foundation works to keep book people in their homes, in their jobs, and with their families – stabilizing the brick and mortar bookstore community. With some bundles, you can pick which charity you want your donation to go to, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this one. If you scroll down on the right hand side of the Humble Bundle page, you can also find an area where you can adjust how much of your purchase goes to which organization (the charity, the publisher, and Humble Bundle, respectively), with a minimum mandatory amount to Humble Bundle as the host.

With most manga ebook volumes costing around $7 USD (sometimes fifty cents less, sometimes a few dollars more), you only need to be interested in five of the volumes available in the complete bundle to justify the cost—and the total bundle has 83 volumes! That's just over thirty-six cents per tankoubon.

You can find out more information about the various series at the Humble Bundle link. Definitely worth checking out if even one of the titles catches your interest, IMO.

This bundle will close in about three weeks.

Edit: Everything except "A Condition Called Love" is a complete series and is included in its entirety. "A Condition Called Love" is still ongoing, and, at this point in time, has another volume available from Kodansha.

Seems one of my top favorites has gotten its third season. Crunchyroll unveiled the trailer a day ago and was wise not revealing much in terms of spoiling it the context. I can't wait to watch it all when I can see it.
