Basic Accounts
As we noted in our last News post, as of today users will be able to downgrade their account to Basic through the Manage Account page. In addition, visitors who are not logged in to LiveJournal will now be seeing ads on Basic accounts and communities; the experience of logged-in users will not change.

Paid Account Sale
We are having a paid account sale starting today through September 30, 2008. During that period, you can purchase a 12 month block of paid time and receive a 20% discount – this paid time can be added to any account, or purchased as a gift for your favorite LJ-friend. For full details, see our Paid Account Sale page.

Announcing [info]lj_advisory
We are pleased to announce the creation of the [info]lj_advisory community, set up so you can find news and information related to the activities of the Advisory Board. We recognize that it has taken us a while to get this community up and running, and that has caused some frustration. From now on, we will post topics which will be discussed by the Advisory Board prior to the date of the meeting and summaries of meetings after they occur. Throughout the year, the Advisory Board may also post requests for opinions on topics which may be discussed at future meetings. This is the official community for communication with the Advisory Board – comments will be read by Advisory Board members who will respond as they feel appropriate.

RTE + Opera and Safari = <3
RTE stands for Rich Text Editor, which is the default method of posting entries from the Post an Entry page. Our Rich Text Editor is based on the open-source FCKeditor code. It allows you to make links or LiveJournal user tags, insert photos or videos, and format your entries without needing to know HTML. That is, unless you use Opera or Safari as a browser, in which case you couldn't use the RTE.

That will be changing today. We are pleased to announce that the RTE has been upgraded to the latest version of the FCK code, which includes support for Opera and Safari! In addition, many of the bugs in the old version have been fixed. If you've been using RTE, you will most likely need to clear your browser's cache in order to use the new version.

<strike> vs. <b>
Last year we changed the visual display of deleted and suspended usernames from a line through the username to a bold font. This had the effect of making the name unclickable - which meant that no one could easily determine whether the username had been deleted or suspended. We've reversed this display, returning deleted and suspended usernames to a struck-through and clickable state.

Flash Fiction Contest Update
The deadline to submit your flash fiction entry to "Quick Tales," LiveJournal's partnership with Caferati in India is fast approaching. Users who wish to find out more about this exciting contest should take a look at our [info]india_writing community. Be quick! Entries must be received by midnight, September 7th, 2008 and the contest is open to all who have a mailing address in India, regardless of where they currently reside or citizenship.
28th-Aug-2008 01:47 am - My Greatest Mistake
This is a new fic. There is a little bit of back story, which will eventually come out during this story. This is a story between Steve and Tango, but I don't want to label it a pairing... you'll understand as the story goes on.

Rating: Pg-13ish (nothing terrible, just not something I would let a child read! lol)

27th-Aug-2008 09:14 pm - Reckoning

Title:  Reckoning 3/?

Fandom:  Ghost Hunters/Ghost Hunters International Crossover

Rating:  PG13

Pairings: Jason/Grant, Steve/Tango, Kris/Robb Demarest

Synopsis:  A day off in Amsterdam brings up one of Kris’s fears—and may change the scope of her romance with Robb.  Steve and Tango start telling the crew about their upcoming ‘nuptuals’ and start making friends with Brandy.  Lily comes clean—somewhat—with Jason (who is still carrying baggage) while we find out a secret about some of the GHI crew.

*The Waardenburg Castle is real, and some activity I’ll be using in the story has actually been reported, but I’ve also made up a few things about the place…like where it’s exactly located, etc.  If you want to see what the castle looks like on the outside, there are some links below.  I’ve also changed things a bit—in the story most of it is under construction.  I’ve also been doing research on Irish slang so I can write Barry better!  If you don’t understand something, I’m getting my words from http://www.irishslang.co.za/irisha_m.htm

Title:  Reckoning /?

Fandom:  Ghost Hunters/Ghost Hunters International Crossover

Rating:  R for references mostly….

Pairings: Jason/Grant, Steve/Tango, Kris/Robb Demarest, Dustin/OC (Lily Hawes)

Synopsis:  Trust and friendship is established between the GH crew and the GHI crew when they make it to Amsterdam.  Don’t worry, the case is coming up—they just have some down time before the case—and I promised it would be a doozy!

 

I played around with time zone changes or whatever, so sue me.  This took me a while to write because I was laughing so hard at myself!  Also, I'm still trying to figure out how to write Brandy, but she'll be fun.

 

You can doubt anything if you think about it long enough…

25th-Aug-2008 09:55 pm - Reckoning!

Title:  Reckoning 1/?

Fandom:  Ghost Hunters/Ghost Hunters International Crossover

Rating:  PG

Pairings: Jason/Grant, Steve/Tango, Kris/Robb Demarest, Dustin/OC (Lily Hawes)

Synopsis:  Our first installment of the sequel has Steve doing the unthinkable—and what really happened at the TAPS family party?

 

The sequel to Company…the location is real, and I am basing some of what happens on the stories about the location but I’m also making a lot of it up as I usually do.  Based on the song ‘Reckoning’ by Ani Difranco

 

Win or lose just that we choose this little war is what kills

and either or, it’s that this war is maybe also what thrills

25th-Aug-2008 09:17 pm - Looking for Highlander crossovers ...
You know, I would have figured that I would find oodles of Immortal!Speed or Immortal!Horatio stories, especially after the last season's ending. But I can't. Or at least I'm looking in the wrong places. I've read Voracity's Dark GHS, but I haven't come across any that's got Horatio and/or Speed as immortals. Anybody got any links?

Bonus points for any Horatio/Speed/Methos fics!

Rating:  PG13 for language….!

Pairings:  Jason/Grant, Steve/Tango, Dustin/OC, Kris/Robb

Synopsis:  Where the hell are Jason and Grant?  And old friend comes up to solidify some things between Steve and Tango.  We also learn that perhaps a well-kept secret isn’t that well-kept.

 

*someone on the TAPS 18+ board called Andy Captain Flashlight so I stole that.  Also, I purposefully left a lot of things up in the air for the next sequel!!!!!  I’m going to start working on it soon—I expect it to be long because it’s a huge GH/GHI crossover.
