As Sam Beckett on Quantum Leap used to say...

"OH, BOY!"

Tonight the wonderful SPN_sil on Twitter announced she is no longer going to be covering SPN conventions on Twitter due to her new job and personal reasons. I used to cover cons myself on Storify back when I initially started on the site (I think it was 2013?). I stopped in 2015 when I fell behind and Sil began con coverage with her team. I instead concentrated my Storify posts on Tweets about the SPN Production and namely info. about when and where they were filming.

So with SPN_sil calling it quits, it looks like I'm needed for convention coverage once again.
You know...on top of all the other things I'm doing. 'Cause I've got ALL this time on my hands...obviously. :P

Ha! In all honesty though, this might be the spark I need to light a fire under my butt and get in gear to get myself better organized and actually....you know, get things done. Like I used to.

Or it will be one of the worst decisions ever and a total disaster.

Either way, I've got the experience, so why not step up and take over?
I've supported Sil and her team since day one and I know how much work they've put into the cons they've covered. I only hope I can get close to filling the gap myself. Who needs sleep, right?

Fortunately, I've got a week until ChiCon to prepare and to see if I can actually do this.

Since Storify went caput, I've moved everything over to Wakelet.
So all my old Storify posts are here: https://wakelet.com/@raloria613_bb33d
I'll continue to use this account for SPN Filming Info.

I've set up a new Wakelet account just for SPN Convention Coverage here: https://wakelet.com/@raloriaspn_Zlcr5u

Feel free to follow either or both.
Wish me luck! :)

And here's how the new Storify posts will be named, SPN Season 11 Filming, and then a post per month starting with last September. Note: There might be spoilers in the February 2016 post.

(Just noticed the Feb post says 2015 instead of 2016. I fixed it, but the link will still say 2015. Sorry for the confusion.)

I'll probably continue to add Tweets to these last several links, especially the ones for this year. I'll post about it here on LJ when I do. :)

Storify - A New Direction

Some of you might have noticed a lack of Storify posts around here.

The truth of the matter is this...I spent so much time constantly saving Tweets covering not only the SPN production, but Tweets by the actors, SPN con Tweets, and covering the actors/crew Tweets during the airing of new episodes. By the time it came to be VanCon last August, I knew I was going to fall behind while I was attending the con. When I came home I realized I was simply burned out and didn't want to go back to working with Storify. So I let it go...for months. Eventually I pushed myself to get back to gathering my favorited Tweets, but then I ran into complications with Storify. Frustrating!

After a while, I did get somewhat caught up, at least finishing up with the VanCon weekend.

But then I made a big decision...I couldn't keep going with Storify like I'd been doing. It's simply too much to handle. And there's others who cover things better anyway....SPN_sil takes care of all the cons and SuperWiki handles tweets for the episodes.

So I've decided to stick with what I do best: SPN filming locations!
My Storify posts will strictly consist of Tweets about the production's filming dates and locations, including when fans find them out on location. This way the posts will continue to help me update things over at spn_locations and not eat up all of my valuable time. I'll be able to breathe a bit easier! Phew! :)

My next post will be a big catch-up of my Storify entries since last August.

Random Ramblings

♦♦♦ I'm a hot mess. There's no denying it. Staying up too late, not getting enough sleep, not eating all that healthy, procrastinating left & right (hello...Storify - see below). I really only have myself to blame. I'm a lazy oaf. But maybe...hopefully, now that I've admitted the problem I can fix it. Or at least truly try.

♦♦♦ Anyone else doing those Adult Coloring Books that are all the rage right now?
I've got 6 books so far and have only barely made a start in a couple of them. Not sure how "relaxing" & "therapeutic" they are for me when I have trouble trying to figure out what I want to color something. :P

♦♦♦ In "It's A Wonderful Life" why does Clarence say AS2 stands for "Angel 2nd Class"? Isn't the "S" (for second) & the "2" (for 2nd) a little redundant?

♦♦♦ I told you all that since my internet time has been toned down, that I've had more time to prepare new projects. Thought you might like to know what some of them are...

* Arrow caps
* Some icons (I'm actually quite nervous about posting these, since it's been so long since I made any icons.)
* SPN Goes B&W (I've got 28 pieces ready to post)
* More SPN Road So Far Caps
* SPN S11 1080p Hi-Res Caps for: 11x02, 11x03, 11x04.
* VanCon 2015 Filming Location Photos

♦♦♦ I don't know how I'm ever going to get caught up on Storify again. Because Storify will only show Favorites from Twitter going back to 300 I'm having to use the Storify browser add-on to add Tweets individually by hand. Got up to VanCon weekend at the end of August but...it's soooo slow. *sigh* However, I need to keep at it because I use the Tweets I save on Storify to help put my SPN Filming Locations list together.

♦♦♦ You know what's frustrating for a location hunter?
Seeing a location on Arrow that you've also seen on SPN...and you STILL can't figure out where the hell it is!!!! Grrrrrr!
