Today's to do is done
May. 6th, 2009 08:38 pmToday's project: working on the website. Most of what I did was behind-the-scenes cleanup, mostly invisible to everyone but me, but I also got the Kismet fiction on the site (with pretty header from a panel in Sun-Cutter) -- all but the "apocrypha", i.e. the stories that either were never supposed to be canon in the first place, or got self-Jossed when I changed something important later (including all of the Dusty and Elaine stories). These have been down for a while and I really do want to get them back on the website, but not tonight, I think. The sticky post at the top of my journal page now links to the website rather than the old Icefall Press LJ (which will stay up, but as an archive only; I'm not adding anything new to it.)
I also gave the Kismet comics and graphic novels their own directory page, something I've meant to do for a while. The gallery still sucks and I don't know what to do with it. *sigh* I've tried so many different designs over the years, but never have managed to come up with something that's halfway decent-looking, smoothly navigable, and easy to add new art. Edit: oh, and I streamlined the character page (which was getting really unwieldy with all of them on one page) and added a few who'd been left off, plus a few new ones from the recent KCL comics and Sun-Cutter. Also addressed a few CSS issues (and I keep finding new ones, sigh).
Looking over the old Kismet stories has really impressed on me how much my writing has improved over the last few years. I have actually written a lot (hundreds of thousands of words), even if all of it is either unfinished, unpublished, or fan fiction. And it made a big difference. I wasn't really aware of the progression in my skills, but there's a really noticeable difference when I look back on what I used to write vs. what I can write now.
