zelda_queen: (Zelda Queen Spork)
Hello, ladies and gentlemen! It's time, once again, for me to poke the last few folks into handing over their City of Ashes sporkings which totally don't include myself, oh my no...

So, here's the scoop on what's going on:

  • I'm still awaiting the last few sporkings for City of Ashes. As always, the list of who's sporking what, along with who's turned in what, is here. Since there have been a number of folks who haven't been checking back in when I've poked them before, it's time for The Deadline. Basically, I'm going to poke everyone who still has to turn stuff in. If you don't have it done this instant, that's fine. However, I AM STILL GOING TO NEED SOME DETAILS AS TO WHEN TO EXPECT IT BY. Next week, tomorrow, the end of the month, just give me something to go off of. Of course, if it's done, fantastic! Just send it over to me, and it's all good. But the important thing is to, in some way, touch base with me in regards to the group sporking. IF YOU DO NOT CONTACT ME IN SOME WAY AND INDICATE WHEN YOU THINK THE SPORKING WILL BE DONE (OR FAIL TO CONTACT ME AT ALL) BY JULY THE 27TH, I WILL ASSUME YOU'VE DROPPED OUT AND GIVE YOUR CHAPTER TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!

  • Reminders also that like with City of Bones, every group sporker has the option to submit a mini-Final Assessment along with their sporking. If you already turned in your sporking but didn't turn one of these in, you can still do so. PM me it, e-mail it, even post it in the comments here, I don't care. For more information on the basic guidelines of the mini-Final Assessments, there's a reminder here.

  • There are still chapters in need of replacement sporkings, for City of Bones. More information on those chapters can be found here.

Getting down to the wire here, folks! Let's pull together, get pumped, and get it done!

Howdy-do, folks! I apologize for another announcement so (relatively) soon after the last, but there are three orders of business that have to be addressed, which I forgot to bring up before.

The first is that at the requests of the respective sporkers, several of the City of Bones chapters are available for re-sporking. The chapters are:


  1. Pandemonium

  2. The Circle and the Brotherhood

  3. High and Dry


If you're interested in sporking any, just let me know. The rules for sporking are the same as any of the group sporkings. Know the source material, give some detail, pay attention to spelling and grammer, etc and so on. Send it my way when it's done, I'll give it a lookover, and then I'll post it if it's good.

The second is in regards to several spitefic I did, and an idea I had. Some of you may recall that in response to some Disney Suefic, I did some fics centered around the Disney Princess Support Network. In a nutshell, for those of you who didn't read them, the fics used the idea that the Disney Princesses and Princes would go into their various canons, capture the Sues invading, and restore the general order of things. It was a fun way to vent frustration and show the strengths of the various princesses.

Since a lot of folks were into the concept, I have a proposal - I could go about starting a livejournal group to host Disney Princess Support Network fics. Anyone who wanted to write for it could, and it needn't be limited to bad Sue fics. Any epic missions for the team could be done. I'm willing to start that, if there's enough interest. So folks, just drop your votes for Yay or Nay in the comments below!

The final issue is a bit more personal, but the ultimate goal will end up here, so here I go. Some of you may recall me mentioning a couple of times in the past about a computer game I was searching for. Said game was called Legends & Myths, and had all but vanished off of the face of the Earth.

I finally scored a copy several months back (hooray for ebay!), which is the good news. The bad news is that I've been trying to record myself playing it, so that I can show folks that this game is real, and why I'd been looking for it for seventeen years or so. All attempts have ended in failure. I really, really want to see this through to the end though, if I can, so I'm here to humbly ask if any folks have thoughts or suggestions on how to fix the issue. The info I have, thus far:

I have tried a variety of screen-recording software, including Hypercam and Camstudio. I also tried simply screencapturing. Everything has resulted in the same issue - the colors come out in some bizarre palette inversion. Here it is...


LMIssue

So yeah. The sound generally works fine, but it's nearly impossible to see what's actually going on. I have no idea what to do to keep the screen from looking like that. The game runs in a 256 color palette, but several of the screen recording programs used claim to be able to handle that, and still don't work. I can run the game on a Windows XP and a Dell Precision just fine, and both computers have the same color issue. I can provide more info, if it's needed for suggestions. Being rather non-computer savvy, I'm a bit lost.

Other than that, hope everyone's evening's going well!
