SquidgeWorld Archive

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:19:23 GMT

SquidgeWorld is adding Original Works as a fandom. If I understand correctly, this will kick in after this upcoming Sunday's maintenance (March 29th). I dropped a mention of this over on a March Meta Matters Challenge check-in because I'm hoping this may be helpful to someone interested in archiving their works.

Original Works - Essays and Meta: Think of this as the, "I'm here to convince you to watch more science fiction shows" or "Here is what action movies get wrong about female characters" and the like.

I suspect this may be the most helpful option.

Original Works - Diaries and Journals: This is where you can create something with your own personal thoughts. Almost like a blogpost or such.

For all the 'is this really an essay or more of a blog post' sort of questioning.

Original Works - Guidance and Instructions: I don't think this will get quite much use, but you never know. Things under this "fandom" are truly instructions, like "How to save money in THIS economy" or the instructions I wrote on how to implement the OTW code to bring a new archive online.

Ye of little faith. I would absolutely think this could be where @/ao3commentoftheday could share workskin tutorials, or someone could share a guide on how to go about hosting X off-site and embedding it into a work.

PBS Shows - 'Bookish' & 'The Gold'

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 23:24:26 GMT

I don't want to lose this reply from the tv_talk community, but I also never tried to do episode by episode recaps because I didn't feel like I was engaging with the shows in question enough to warrant that. I have run into some people who bounced off 'Bookish' when they found out Mark Gatiss is the main lead, Mr Book. 'The Gold' ran on PBS Masterpiece in my viewing area in October and November 2025; 'Bookish' ran in January and February 2026.

Metazooa

I came across one of the thousands of reblogs of this post on Tumblr sharing a screenshot of the explanation of Metazooa. The Tumblr OP roughly describes it as phylogenetic Wordle, and you get 20 guess to figure out a species. For today, 3 March 2026, I didn't get the answer.

Challenge #15: How did the Fandom Snowflake Challenge go? Did you get all you wanted to get from it? Are there things you're going to carry with you for as long as you can? Are you going to continue to challenge yourself? Continue to connect? We can't wait to hear.

Challenge #11: Grant someone's wish from Challenge #5.

I didn't get around to granting a wish from the Wish List challenge. I looked at several, and then I realised: 1) I didn't have a way to send people money for the physical items they had individually linked to outside of gift buying lists, 2) I just couldn't afford the whole price of some of the physical items on gift buying lists, 3) I can't really create fanart for any of the 'I welcome fanart of my characters' wishes, and 4) I didn't have a way to fulfill the intangible wishes (f'ex, I'm not looking for a beta for any of my fics).

Challenge #8: Talk about your creative process.

As mentioned in the comments on the DW Icebreaker entry, I'm in a fallow period between active creation. So, this post is going to go through the process of cross-posting someone's post about a fandom event to the Pillowfort Fandom Calendar community.

I want this post to be done more than I want to hit a designated number, so this is a top six.

Challenge #7: List three (or more) things you like about yourself. They don't have to be your favorite things, just things that you think are good. Feel free to expand as much or as little as you want.

This has absolutely been a hard challenge to try to write a response for. For every possible thing I can think of, I can think of an exception or how I fall short of that thing. So, two out of three will have to do.

Switching to Linux

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 17:28:49 GMT

My attempt at Linux Minut XFCE basically went exactly the same as trying to install Linux Mint Cinnamon did, and I still need zero point one more GB of space to install Linux Mint XFCE on my laptop. Kinda my bad for not seeing that coming; apparently, if I can't handle the general amount for a Linux Mint install, I can't handle either Cinnamon or XFCE versions.

Challenge #4: Rec Your Last Page: Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

This is one of those prompts where it feels like it's supposed to be similar to those 'what your last five emoji this week say about you' posts, but then I have to admit that I haven't used five emoji in a week.

Switching to Linux

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 23:38:00 GMT

I keep finding myself too busy to switch my main laptop to a Linux option, and Windows 10 ended support *mumble mumble* months ago. (I don't have enough space for Windows 11, and I'm not feeling very enthusiastic about what I've heard about it.) This weekend is when I need to make the switch. Right now, I'm thinking of Linux Mint (probably Cinnamon).

Challenge #5: In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

I'm not immune to feeling guilty for asking for things. However, I put off doing this challenge long enough that it's finally time for the challenge where people try to grant wishes >.>

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom: Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

I feel like I ought to have something light and fun: Bluebell the dog actor for Betty on 'Will Trent' is a beloved fan favorite, all the animals included in 'All Creatures Great & Small', or how fans fix the lackluster onscreen care of Sunshine the budgie from 'Prodigal Son'.

Well, I'm the person who went from just cross-posting Snowflake Challenge posts in order to not lose them being shared on Pillowfort to officially being a PF Snowflake Challenge mod.
