galorechallenge is a returning Crossover Fic Challenge from LiveJournal where you would find a crossover, grab a prompt & start writing! NO CLAIMING NESSARY! Post your story to the community (or at least link to it) once you're done. Feel free to grab more than one prompt, and more than one crossover! There are no limits on how much you can write per round. Check out the rules for more information.
Also once the round ends, we'll vote on our favorites by fandom & you can get a fancy award. Or if there is only 1 crossover for a particular fandom, it will move on to the next round.
While it is a multi-fandom challenge, and SO MANY fandoms are allowed, there are some restrictions, so check out the fandoms currently allowed.
Round 14 is open until June 30, 2026 @ 11:59 EST.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

I helped do An Science.

How's everyone doing?

Noting here for posterity that I'm doing another of my "whenever I remember to do it" sweeps of all privs that have been granted, to remove privs from people who aren't currently actively volunteering with the thing that needs that priv. If I accidentally yanked something someone is using (the interface is hella janky and I would not be surprised if I do accidentally at least once), just holler and I'll add it back! Likewise, if you're still doing one thing but have privs for another thing you aren't using, you can let me know by replying here so I can remove those too.

We thank everyone for their time and help, and anyone who's had privs removed, you are welcome back any time you'd like! We operate on a "principle of least access" basis for privs for security reasons, but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate everything folks do, even if you're limited by that mythical land called "real life". ❤️
