here at acomet_appears

So...I went to go pick up adorable pictures Sam Jones and I took together at the beginning of the week, and Jean suprised me with a spur of the moment shoot! She needed practice for her photography class.

lol! They turned out f'n rad considering she's still a student :)

Hair/makeup/all clothing and accessories made by me except for my necklace, created by They Love - Brandon Strate and Kristina (Kozy) McDavitt.

All They Love taxidermy jewelry is made with animals that died of natural causes, or parts recycled from animals used for alternative processes.

These photos are not edited. (Yet...well probably won't be at all = laziness)

Part Four
I was surprised when Eric didn’t come into the bar shortly after sundown. I assumed he would stop by, but maybe it was better if he didn’t. I’d felt it when he woke for the day, since that little tracking feature in our bond became active. I’d felt him getting closer to me, but then he went right on past. I figured he was headed back to Shreveport to take care of business. Whether that meant meeting with his day man, Bobby, or finishing up what was left of Gabriel I didn’t know. Frankly, I was just fine with keeping it that way.

( My home was the scene, or a quarrelsome marriage, that flared up whenever I spoke. So I brought her some letters washed down in adventure, and my bed would be lonely no more. And if I was a shadow on a long lonely gallow that hang me, and cut off my lip. Cause making up stories was all I could do, and you know that the truth ain't worth shit. )

Title: Odin's Emissary
Author: scapeartist
Beta: sabaceanbabe
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Dead and Gone
Word count: 2000 (give or take a few)
Disclaimer: Southern Vampire Mysteries are most definitely not mine. I mean no offense with my scribblings
Summary: This is a short character study of Eric during one part of his long history. Sookie does have some bearing on the story though, so I hope that counts enough for here.
Author's Note: It has been an incredibly long time since I've dabbled in writing fan fiction of any kind, so please keep that in mind as you read. I am back because I find Eric...inspirational. Yeah. I am just flexing my writing muscles again because it was hard to resist this 'verse.

(Large battles were a feast fit for the Gods and Eric was Odin's own emissary on the battlefield.)

Notes augmented

We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!

Product tweaks and bug kill

1. In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
2. If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
3. The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
4. If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
5. If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
6. Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)

New FCK fixes rich text editor!

1. We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
2. When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
3. RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
4. An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
5. The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers

LiveJournal Cares

We’re pleased to introduce you to lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.

Papered in postcards

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

Photos of the week

We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at lj_photophile.

You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP.

Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!!

Thanks mhwest and dnewhall for helping out!

---

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

Part One
Part Two


Part Three
We pulled up in the driveway of a large split-level house on the other side of Shreveport. Eric parked in the garage, and turned off the car. There was enough space for another vehicle, but Eric had parked to the left, which made me think he was expecting another car to pull in beside his own. Then I realized that if Fangtasia was gone, my car probably was too. My heart dropped into my feet, and it took me a few extra seconds to get out of the car. Eric led me into the house, and then up the stairs to the main living area of the house. The decor of the house led me to believe I wasn’t in Eric’s home. The living room was painted a pale shade of blue, and the sofa was bright white. I felt like I was walking around inside of a large Tiffany’s box.

( You can make me scream internally. You can make me breathe eternally. Yeah. You see the things I cannot change, the things that make me plain. Lift me up my soul's so hollow. Lift me up. )
