I had to sleep before I posted this, sadly. Otherwise, I’d have posted it when it happened.

Last night I couldn’t sleep much, so I decided “Hey, I’m gonna join the Alien Dice costume contest.” That saga-failed because I couldn’t find a good enough base to play with. But I still wanted to learn the liquify tool in Photoshop. So, I found another base, played with it, and created a pretty okay piece of fanart. So, I sent it in to Tiffany, with a condensed version of the story in an email. I also sent a copy to Ceres, since she’s my Alien Dice Radio Drama director and I knew she’d find awesomeness in my geekiness.

Well, Ceres logged on and went “ooooh, pretty!” I thanked her for the compliment and was about to leave to run some errands before I went to bed for the day. Just as I was getting up to get changed, Ceres IMed me again: “!!! go to aliendice.com quick”

I figured Tiffany had posted something awesome to the plot and was cringing in preparation for a spoiler (I’m not up to date on the comic). Instead, I saw this awesomeness!!!

My day was made!! I was all over the house, bosting about my story of awesome!

Wooo! I put new and exciting things on my site!

For starters, I actually updated Of the Faeries. Added two more chapters, and I’m working on adding the rest. It’s making me want to try picking up Lost and Found again, which has been in a dry slump for a while.

But that’s not all! Check out my contact page. I downloaded Digsby, added the widgit, and now anyone can chat with me from my website! Is that cool, or what? Much lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrves for the new toy on my site!

Of course, that now means that I have to finish putting up the rest of my contact info.

As I’m writing this, any and all stories that I had posted before are being uploaded.  Go on!  Commense the cheering!  …Okay, I’ll stop being so arrogent.

Anyhow, I realized that my file layout was kinda shoddy.  It would make for some messy, messy stuff later on.  So, I cleaned it up before it got a chance to be like a vine and take over the whole wall of the website and make me want to cry.  Crying Nyxie is a disturbing sight, let me tell you.

Anyway, in the middle of doing that my brain said to me: “Hey!  Guess what you’re forgetting!”

“What’s that, brain?” I said–cuz, y’know, I talk to my brain sometimes.

“YOU forgot that you posted the chapters to Shifted in the Kelley Armstrong forum….with the old layout.”

“*blink…blink*  Aw, GODDAMNIT!!”

Luckily (or perhaps not so much…), my stuff isn’t all that widely read.  In fact, I don’t think anyone has hit that thread in a long ass time.  So, my project tomorrow after gaming night is to go back and edit those threads.  Every.  Last.  One.

Oh…  I think I’m gonna cry at that idea.

Okay, so I’m trying to re-set up NyxGoldstone.com… I’ve almost got it set up and ready to re-upload my stories. Sorry everyone who’s tried to access it lately.

For starters, I made it so that my blog on the main page isn’t my LiveJournal tag-specific. But, at the same time, I do have it set so that it posts to my LJ if anyone there wants to read when I have story updates. Does anyone read those things, anyway? Either way, I hope it looks okay in the cross post.

My next step is to set up the “pages” in the wordpress theme, tweak the CSS to have everything that the old site had, and anything else I need to fix to make it good as…old.

So, again, if anyone was looking to check out my writing, I apologize in advance for the site being down for so long. I will slowly be working it back up to where it was, and even better from there.
