Let it snow. Please?

+ I got snowed on last night! This makes me stupid happy, since I love snow. Yes, I know all the problems, and I know that a bunch of you hate it, but for me, when it snows I'm seven years old again and staying with my grandparents because school's closed. I'm warm and safe and happy, and since I've lived in London my whole life, this is the first time I've ever seen snow. It won't snow properly in London again until I've moved to Oxford, so this is my strongest childhood memory of snow. Every time I get snowed on, it takes me right back there.

- Am sick. The cough is getting worse and is now bringing a cold with it. Normally, I get the sniffle then the cough, so I'm officially designating this my dloc, since clearly it is backwards.

+ I'm using the automatic URL uploader to shift my stories onto AO3. It's working pretty well, although you still have to do a lot of editing once they're there. But it's much easier to copy and paste a URL than a whole story, I think. And it gets most of the details right, so overall, I'm pretty impressed. The interesting part is going to be once I start uploading my series - I'm fairly sure I tag/group them somehow, so hopefully that will work well.

- Still have a whole afternoon to get through, with many books and no motivation whatsoever. Woot /o\

I know what you mean - J is in the same kind of situation. Not long to go, though!

YAY for snow! Sorry you are sick for it though *passes tea and snuggly bear*

I have yet to really start uploading my stuff to AO3. One of these days.

The snow was fun, but I think that was it for this year, in Oxford at least. It's probably for the best for people flying and my colleague who got stuck in her village this morning!

The uploading was time consuming, but not as bad as I thought. It's nice to see them there, though. The layout and formatting is very pretty.

That's my reaction to snow, too. :) I'm glad you got some.

I googled "dloc" and pondered for several minutes before I got it. ::needs brain infusion::
