Image Hosting + SquidgeWorld
2026-03-01 19:46squidgestatusFirst off, SquidgeWorld didn't fully come up this morning, but that's because we've been working on Squidge Images. Our new anti-bot software didn't start as it was supposed to, but that has been found and corrected. So SquidgeWorld is up and running now.
Squidge Image Hosting went through an upgrade this morning and everything is working - with a limitation. Image hosting is there, and works like normal under the new code. Video hosting works as well, but for this we are relying on external storage (a cloud storage option) and THAT external storage isn't working yet. So, for right now we are still just hosting images. As soon as our hosting provider can figure out what's going on with our online hosting bucket, we will enable video uploads as well.
But for now - YOU CANNOT UPLOAD VIDEOS. Only regular images like normal.
EDIT: We NOW support the uploading and hosting of videos! But please be aware of a few things:

EDIT: We NOW support the uploading and hosting of videos! But please be aware of a few things:
- Videos are currently supported only if they are .MOV or .MP4 types. Other types such as .mkv are NOT SUPPORTED.
- Videos must be 100 megabytes or smaller to upload.
- Video upload can take up to 5 minutes to complete! Upload one at a time, and wait for your browser to respond.

WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 1 -- Sunday
2026-03-01 08:13linaewen posting in writethisfanficHello on Sunday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?
- I thought about my fic once or twice
- I wrote
- I did some planning and/or outlining
- I did research and/or canon review
- I edited
- I've sent my fic off to my beta
- I posted today!
- I'm taking a break
- I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment
Sunday Discussion: It's a new writing week, and day one of a new writing month -- that means a fresh start. Maybe you had a great writing week last week, or maybe last week wasn't the greatest for getting writing things done -- what kind of goals do you have for keeping up your momentum or starting off fresh this week?

New Fandom Add-Me for Winter/Spring 2026
2026-02-28 20:20springsodas posting in addme_fandomName: Soda (she/her)
Age group: Zillennial; too young to consider myself a 90s kid, just old enough that I remember most of the 2000s
Country: United States
Subscription/Access Policy: Journal is SFW; any posts that contain potentially triggering content (ex: blood) will be put under a read more. I prefer to interact with users who are at least 20 or older, and will avoid interacting with minors.
Main Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003, IDW, Splintered Fate, and the embryo that is my fan iteration)
Other Fandoms/Interests: Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, The Sims (2 and 3; I refuse to touch 4), Stardew Valley, "cozy" games, RPGs, platformers, and strategy games, anime, cartoons, comics, manga
Fannish Interests: Fanart, fanfiction, OCs, character design and development, compiling lore, collecting merch
OTPs and Ships: Although I technically still enjoy the act of knocking two characters of my choice together and making kissy noises, I prefer not to describe myself as a "shipper" but merely someone who enjoys exploring the occasional romantic relationship every now and again (because even I admit romance is overrated and there is plenty of joy in exploring friendships and familial relationships, too.) If I do feel like doodling a bit of romance, it's mostly OC x Canon these days.
Other Info
- Officially diagnosed autistic, possibly ADHD as well. Recovering smartphone addict.
- I do fanart, currently am trying to get back into writing fanfic. I'm also planning to debut as a PNGtuber on March 21st.
- Besides fandom things, my journal is mostly the various happenings in my life, as well as any thoughts, feelings, and other ramblings that come to mind.
- Just be kind and respectful and I'll do the same for you.
