Typical tech

[clevermanka]

Dunno what happened with my side of things on today's Discord watch. I (thought) I did everything exactly as last week, but then things started to get flaky. I assumed it was my internet (which has been spotty all week) but when I got back in, my screen did this when I clicked on the server and the little loading animation just ran and ran and ran. I couldn't even click out of the video view to get back to the text screen. I even tried (twice) after the streaming portion was over, wondering if it was just server load, but no. Same thing happened (twice). le sigh.

I have a ridiculously big sad over this. Didn't realize how much I was looking forward to saying hi to people. Maybe better luck next week.

At least I got 1k words down for Table One today which included: 
With a groan, Zhu Yilong pulled away and off him. Bai Yu tried to follow, grasping at the placket on Zhu Yilong’s shirt, trying to unbutton it with shaking fingers, praying nobody was changing their minds, here. Zhu Yilong leaned in close with a reassuring kiss.

“Condoms,” he muttered against Bai Yu’s lips.

At least things are working out for SOME people!

That sucks. :/ My internet connection's been wonky all day today too. I've been having issues all day with pages loading super slow for my online teaching, and I completely missed this week's Guardian watch. /o\

Shared commiseration!

Well, shit! I'm sorry it didn't work out today.

eta: but but 1k words!!! that's awesome!

Thanks, bb. I'm worried it's gonna do the exact same thing, tho, since I even rebooted in between attempts.

My ineptitude with tech is frustrating, but is it worth the tears and anguish trying to actually learn this stuff when I'm going to have to re-learn something else/new when other versions/softwares become available?

NO. NO IT IS NOT. If I must, I shall just sit here in my cave and bang rocks together for amusement.

[clevermanka]

And yes, 1k of some very nice words.

still many episodes left for everyone to watch together. Something will work out!
also, while I don't do explicit stuff very much, shaking fingers on shirt buttons: NICE.

[clevermanka]

still many episodes left
So many more opportunities to fuck up my program settings! 😆

And thank you! I'm feeling pretty pleased I at least managed to get people naked. \o/

We missed you! I kept seeing you pop in and out, and you'd mentioned you were having internet trouble, so I figured it was that. I'm sorry it didn't work for you! If you want, you can pop onto Discord at some point and I can see if I can message you directly (Discord has a private message system as well as their regular servers) and maybe we can figure out what went wrong...and if not, at least we can still say hello!

Hng, those words sound amazing, I cannot wait to read them!

[clevermanka]

I'll pop in early next week, see if we can figure it out, thanks!

[umadoshi]

Aargh, I'm sorry you were dealing with so much tech aggravation! I hope you can get it sorted for next time. :/

Those are some lovely words! *^^*

It's like the Tech Diety cast me completely out of the garden when I quit working in IT. I laugh about it, but jesus.

And thank you! I'm real happy with the way this fic is finally moving along.

[khellekson]

Condoms....

Yes. You had me at "condoms."

[clevermanka]

This is my first! fic! with condoms! \o/

[tinny]

Oooh, I am so sorry. I had to skip, but I hope I'll be there again next week.


Love the snippet! <3<3

Hope to see you next week, and thank you!
