Three quick things

[thisbluespirit]

... that I've been meaning to post:

1. Doctor Who Action/Adventure Plot Generator - really rather nifty! Less cracky than some (alas), but can definitely throw out some potential ideas and is very cool.


2. tumblr has polls. tumblr is behaving exactly as anyone would expect tumblr to and it's mostly pretty entertaining. (I was at first deeply impressed by the maths ones, but now I feel I know what it is to be a guinea pig in the hands of evil maths masterminds and have stopped doing them.) Anyway, I got polls and naturally in the spirit of me-when-ill and tumblr, I made my first poll this one. (Posting the bit that had the fun bonus result I got from it.)


3. Not really a proper third thing, I can't remember what the proper other thing was, but I noticed hurtcomfortex put up a new badge reward scheme for treating and I was just looking at it, and I've never felt so hard that someone was posting from another universe. (They're awarding badges for treats created for the exchange, and they start at 25 treats! :-0 They go up - 25, 50, 75, 100 & 200. It is, tbf, an exchange where you can just post anything written from the tagset to the fest, so you wouldn't have to post like 50 works each to the only 4 people you could possibly write for in order to achieve the max, and maybe these numbers reflect what people have written in previous rounds. But, I, a mere mortal, am boggling. lol.)

ETA: (It finally occurred to me after I wrote this (and switched off the pc and went to have my afternoon lie down, of course), that I think they mean communally? Which does make more sense! In my defence, I am literally clinically stupid quite a lot right now, and also I don't understand how communal badges work, but, lol, then again, I also don't have full reading comprehension either!)

I'm boggling too at that exchange amount. I think the most treats I ever managed to write for a single exchange was 7!

Yeah, it is a lot! However, after staring at it uncomprehending last night, this morning, and this afternoon, and finally making this post, I went away and the penny finally dropped that they probably mean communal totals! Which, i don't get the badges in that case, but otherwise makes far more sense. /o\

I do remember them mentioning something about there being a 'new challenge' for the exchange this year but this seems a bit odd to me still.

It makes a lot more sense than expecting people to write 25+ treats! I'm now going away to possibly bang my head against a desk until it works again. XD
