a plethora of things

donutsweeperIn news the first - Archive of Our Own is officially out of open beta! It looks so wrong to not see the little 'beta' there after site header in superscript on the top left corner. (I do wonder if the timing was done on purpose, considering April's Fools "omega" joke where they changed it to say omega instead of beta there so when they removed the omega they just didn't have to replace it with anything.) Reading the article, I also realize I was mistaken, I'd always thought I'd gotten my account the day it went to open beta but it turns out it was the day after.
Kind of hilarious they put out a badge for it:
In news the second - all of Farscape is legally on youtube!! (here's the playlist)
In news the third - useful links update has been completed!! All links checked and either work or mention that they do not and a backup is provided if possible (I leave up links to sites that appear to just be having hiccups rather than being closed down to check randomly later on and will remove if it turns out they're down for good, but since I've had ones that were down when I started checking but up by the time I finished I try not to delete them unless I'm sure it's gone and anyway, it's only a dozen overall.) I am always amazed at how many links *do* die between checks, even in the 6 months since I did it last this time, and how alternate/backup links had to be chased down or resources removed. As always, if anyone finds a freshly dead link (or has a great resource for me to include) please let me know!
Between the twelve posts there are just shy of 2.5k links. Slightly over 250 of those are wayback machine links. Thank you internet archive, you are a wonder.
And in news the fourth - have two weeks of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
recthething recs (MDZS fic and and tumblr art in a bunch of different fandoms):
all the lies on your resume by someitems (58k)
Summary Snippet: After Wen Ning is cursed at his workplace under mysterious circumstances, Wei Wuxian goes undercover as his replacement to help find out what’s really going on. He unearths a web of nepotism, lies, malicious cultivation and evil schemes. But his biggest discovery of all may be that his feelings for former college crush (and current coworker) Lan Wangji refuse to stay buried in the past. (interesting modern-with-cultivation AU where WWX is a curse investigator and ends up being reunited with LWJ)
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
- He’s just too cool to not draw him, okay?… (Roy and Riza with neat fire affect)
MDZS/Untamed
- Visitor (gentle and touching art of a-yuan and LWJ when LWJ was recovering after the whipping)
Merlin
- Something eternal (gorgeous)
- Merlin and Gwen (love the depth B&W adds to this)
- Emrys: The Greatest Sorcerer; The Biggest Liar (love the dual look of this)
- Fuck You Kilgharrah! (Merlin's only yelling what most of us were thinking at various points during this show, 2 part comic)
and, while not exactly a fandom, fannish at least:
Happy 15th birthday to Nyan Cat! (the original animation and a cake for it, drawn by its original artist)
