AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Current Mood: excited

Dear Yuletide Author letter :)

Dear Yuletide Author:

Thank you thank you! You're going to write me a story in one of my favorite fandoms and I'm super excited about it. Really, what I want is for you to write a story that you enjoy writing, so while I'll provide some prompts for each fandom, don't feel bound by them at all.

Dislikes/DNWs: Major character deaths, unhappy endings, hurt with no comfort, non-sex-related bodily fluids, body horror, kink shaming, character hate

Likes: Humor, love (both romantic and not), team as family, ridiculous idiots in love, sexy times, anything from the palest G rating up to the sexiest of E ratings, hurt with tons of comfort, slapstick comedy, curtainfic, characters passing the Broccoli Test (again, romantic or not)

For all fandoms, feel free to include characters who aren't listed. I generally love everyone in these shows and if you want to put them in the fic, then go for it.
