Money can be exchanged for goods and services, kind of

[ghoulmouse]

Went around putting some subscription money into things I actually use and like, which includes this site. Because I've been thinking a lot about, idk. The old internet and wanting to make better stuff.

There was a Twitter post by another manga editor that was like, "I wonder what percentage of my job is typing stuff like "ball sack" or "blow job" into merriam-webster.com" and I think about that like, literally every time I look up anything there now, so I had to make this icon. For work posts, I guess. It was between this or a screenshot of a chart showing JPN to US bra size conversions, an invaluable resource in my line of work.

There is no Merriam-Webster accepted spelling of "ball sack" by the way so feel free to run wild. The playing field is wide open.

I've spent all day trying to fill out a series bible retroactively for something I'm working on, since there's a multivolume gap that predates me starting the project that I can no longer handwave, and also the whole thing has gotten so complicated it needs to be completely reorganized. Honestly, its a nightmare and I don't know how anybody with a series bigger than this keeps everything straight.

Currently it's a regular old Excel spreadsheet and I am honestly considering taking up maintaining the fan wiki, since I genuinely think it would be easier to reference in a pinch. Also this series is actually popular enough to have a fan wiki, which despite having been doing this for some years now I'm still astounded that I'm in charge of something popular enough to have a fan wiki.

I had to smile at your new work icon; that's exactly the sort of thing I end up doing for my work. I once had to write the following note to a poet whose book I was editing:

'Genitals' on its own is fine, but, if you'd like to be more specific without sacrificing conciseness, you could just say 'penises' or 'phalluses'; I think the presence of balls is implied.

Wonderful icon XD

The fan wiki is pretty neat! I'd try to make sure there's a way to back it up/export it first though, especially if ball sacks and the likes are relevant to the story since I heard of fandom.com or whatever wiki host it was yeeting entire wikis before...

your work icon is making me laugh so hard.

Yay for series bible/wiki!
