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.

I requested 5 and offered 12 fandoms. Had to bucket offer some.

I might add more fandoms/shift things around - I'm waiting for the Interactive Fiction post to see if there's any fandoms that appeal for IF before signups close. I had fun the first time doing IF and I'm hoping to stretch my wings with the IF stuff this year.

The Yuletide 2025 tagset is out!

I'm the only nominator for most of my choices! My Time at Sandrock was only me but My Time at Portia is nominated too.

Fantasy Life i was the only one with another nominator - they nominated Carla, Laura, Paulette, and the very last buddy you can get - to go with my choices (Chemmel, Mira, Monsieur Cobra, Worldbuilding).

No Fatal Frame, interestingly, but I'll live. Plenty of Kamen Rider, Ultraman, scattered Super Sentai, and Power Rangers.

I see plenty of stuff that I want to offer but I'm happy with requesting only what I nominated.

Also, I submitted a correction for the tagset, though not for any of my nominated fandoms - somehow Earth: Final Conflict ended up with duplicate entries for Will Boone.
