    Merry Christmas, all!

    My track record with Christmas releases is no longer perfect, but I do try! Only one 5k chapter of Sharing the Nation this year, though I'm hoping to have 5k more out before the new year. To make up for it, though, I've also brought out the Harry Potter crossover that's been languishing in

    Nothing this year, sorry

    Man, this has been… a year. Shortly after my last blog post, I had some (non-covid) medical issues that somewhat took over my life for a while, and while that's all in the past now, I'm only back where I was beforehand—completely unproductive. I was determined to get back into things at NaNoWriMo, but work steamrolled those plans and I just haven't been able to find the words to write something

    More burned out than I thought

    Jeeze, it's been four months since I decided not to force myself to generate updates for the sake of Patreon and gave myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted… but I haven't really written anything. I've done a thousand words or so here and there to play around with other fandoms, but nothing of significance.

    Shocking, I know.

    Tis the season for status updates. Not as much the other kind of updates as I would like, though

    It wouldn't be Christmas if I hadn't been completely incommunicado for at least a month or two beforehand, right?

    Unfortunately, I don't have chapters of Sharing the Nation to post for Christmas this year. I do have some Equal Opportunity Ascension chapters that only Patreon has seen, and I'll post those, I guess, but it's clear this… isn't working.

    Christmas Updates!

    Merry Christmas!

    As I've done every year since I started writing, I have updates here for you on Christmas day.

    ( It might look like there's a missing one, but the chapter for Sharing the Night that year was taken down and reposted)

Aaand Knighty broke it again. And I fixed it again, I think. · 5:37am Dec 6th, 2013

Title says it all. This time, both the script and the style will need to be updated.

This one took significantly more tweaking to fix. Certain element ID's were removed, at least, and I just cleaned it up best I could. This is not how I wanted to spend my evening. If this keeps happening, I'm not sure what I'll do :fluttercry:

Thank you again for all your work with this.

I'm not sure if this affect what you are working on or not, but...
Userscipts & AJAX Subrequests

1590062
I am quite aware of that, yes. I've actually been quite active in the comments there in support of the decision. Under normal circumstances, I would have already made a blog post to assure people that they can keep using my script, but I haven't actually gotten a response to my inquiries :twilightoops:

Rest assured, as-is, my script is perfectly in line with the letter of the rule. The only AJAX requests it makes are single actions in response to clicks to refresh the page without reloading it. My concern is with the larger cover images loaded by the script. They're not loaded with AJAX, but they do result in more data transferred, as well as more http requests when the page is loaded fresh (The smaller versions are first requested, then the script loads, replacing them with higher resolution versions, which the browser automatically requests).

I will poke the admins again about this, but the worst case scenario is that I am forced to remove the cover image replacement functionality from the script, which I will do if that's what they want.
