It's been a while since we've done a full code push rather than just hotfixes for bugs, so we are well overdue! Depending on availability, we're aiming to do one sometime soon; we'll let you know specifics once we've worked out good timing for everyone who needs to be available.

However! The reason it's been so long is we kept trying to get some of the stuff that's pending to "really finished" instead of just "mostly finished", and then we once again looked around and went "oh no, this is a really big code push with a lot of changes". Those make us nervous, because while we do a lot of testing ourselves, y'all are really creative in how you use the site and we inevitably find a bunch of edge cases when we let you loose on new code with your real-world data!

So, if folks have some spare time in the next few days, it would be a huge help if you could spend half an hour or so using the site the same way you normally do but with the "Site-Wide Canary" beta features flag turned on. Canary mode is a sort of "live testing" mode: it's your real data, but running the most up-to-date code.

Canary mode always does have a few glitches -- there may be missing text strings or errors about missing database properties, which is a limitation of how we run it. We don't need to know about those, but anything else weird that you run into, leave a comment with what you were trying to do and the error message you got.

I'll repeat that the "here be dragons" caution that's on the beta features page: some things may be broken, so don't use it for when you're doing something important. But a few more eyeballs on it before the push will help the push go more smoothly for everyone.

For folks who want to concentrate on what's changing, we haven't finished the second code tour of what's going to be in this push, but the ffirst one has a good chunk of what's going to be going live. (We'll get the second half done ASAP!)

I started watching Champignon Witch because I heard good things about it, and there was something compelling about it in spite of the tonal weirdness, but I just finished episode 8 and the kid Luna is raising is now in love with her and NOPE NOPE NOPE. Not looking for the Bunny Drop experience. Someone on FFA said they knew the kid was a love interest as soon as he became the narrator, so I do feel like I should have seen it coming, but either way I'm dropping that one with a vengeance.

I normally do this in April, but I completely forgot last month.

Top five stories by hits
Discovery (12,024 words) Ace Attorney - Phoenix/Edgeworth - 10,419 hits
One, Two, Three (8,758 words) Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Di Feisheng/Li Lianhua/Fang Duobing - 3,933 hits

Infinite Jest and Wisdom (975 words) DC Comics - The Joker/The Riddler - 2,471 hits

That MLC threesome fic has skipped up to second place, wow! The power of porn, I guess.

TBH, I have been considering deleting my HP fic from AO3, and if I did number 5 would be Thousand Autumns fic I wrote for an exchange last year.

Top five stories by kudos
Discovery (12,024 words) Ace Attorney - Phoenix/Edgeworth - 978 kudos
Lonely Rivers Run to the Sea (4,605 words) Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua - 401 kudos
One, Two, Three (8,758 words) Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Di Feisheng/Li Lianhua/Fang Duobing - 374 kudos
The Mission (1,499 words) Naruto - Sakura/Lee - 241 kudos
Everyday Life With a Menace of a Man (1,416 words) Thousand Autumns - Yan Wushi/Shen Qiao - 241 kudos

Discovery has gone up literally 50 kudos since last year, LOL, how. That fic is 11 years old! I'm honestly kind of impressed now. I'm also shocked at how well that Thousand Autumns fic has done, finally unseating Bleach fic I wrote in the late 2010s from the fifth position. I'm surprised, because I don't think it's one of my better written exchange fics, but I must have captured something believable about the pairing and there must be a lot of thirst for that pairing right now.

What Comes After (1,712 words) Bleach - Byakuya/Kenpachi, Yumichika/Ikkaku - 34 bookmarks

The Ace Attorney fic got another 30 bookmarks since last year! Also, wild how well that Thousand Autumns fic has done in literally a year. I feel like that fandom is small, but the people know what they want.

Top five stories by comment threads
Discovery (12,024 words) Ace Attorney - Phoenix/Edgeworth - 59 comment threads
Lonely Rivers Run to the Sea (4,605 words) Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua - 30 comment threads
Third Option (355 words) Legend of Fei - Li Yan/Yang Jin/Ying Hecong - 19 comment threads

Little Waves (12,982 words) Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua - 15 comment threads

The Ace Attorney fic gained another 12 comment threads in the last year!!! Crazy business. For the most part everything else there is very stable; I have not received a lot of fic comments overall in the last year. I'm kind of intrigued by how in the long run Little Waves, which is about an mpreg abortion (among other things) in a wuxia world, has slowly accumulated comments. Within the first week of posting that fic I assumed it had totally bombed, but slowly it found an audience, and I'm really glad of it. I felt like I tried different and interesting things in it, and TBH the Fang Duobing/Di Feisheng sex scene has a tone that I think makes it some of my best/most mature work.

General thoughts
You know, sometimes I think I should get into a megafandom or something so I can get some sweet sweet megafandom kudos and unseat some of my older fic, but then I see how batshit the megafandoms of the past year are and I'm like... nah, I'm good. I do feel like my more popular fic is increasingly dominated by M/M now and, idk, it's weird. Maybe I should get into an F/F megafandom 😂

And today, the letter is E, so there's only a handful.


The Highwaymen brought together four of country music's best - Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson. This is one I play to remind myself it's not just me.



Emmylou Harris has one of those instantly recognisable voices. I think this was the first of her albums I bought.



Johnny Cash on his own, with a slow one.



And something a little livelier from Hoyt Axton. 



Finally, a bit of guitar courtesy of Norman and Nancy Blake.
