Oh no, I have become one of those people who only uses their DW for yuletide letters. :( Maybe this year I will make an effort to get back to journaling.

Anyway for now this is just a quick and dirty paste of my signup before signups close; I will come back and clean it up soon I hope. Until then: I have no general DNWs and a few fandom-specific ones are in the signup. I like all kinds of fic, I like crossovers, I am one of those annoying people who really truly does just want anything at all for their small fandoms. the fandom:yuletide tag on my journal has a lot of previous letters and things; feel free to mine that for general likes and other fandoms to crossover with.

Ahoy there, adventure gamers!

monkeyisland is a community for the beloved classic game series Monkey Island, featuring the comedic swashbuckling adventures of the improbably-named Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™. Anything about Monkey Island is fair game: your own fanworks (art, fic, videos, games, music, cosplay, memes/silliness, whatever), recs of others' fanworks, livestreams/let's-plays, discussions, news and articles, tips for messing about in the game resources or scripting, requests for hints, screenshots, all that good stuff. If Monkey Island is your ~~jam~~ ~~rum~~ rum and jam (it's an old pirate favorite, everybody knows that), then come on over and have a grog.

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.
