Oh - I'd curious to see those posts? Also lol - I remember in Petz as a kid I did occasionally name pets after fictional characters (and downloaded a few hexed petz modeled after fictional characters, like Scooby Doo), but I don't remember if I tried to "ship" them. I definately remember naming breeding pairs in Zoo Tycoon after fictional animal couples, though - Lion1 and Lion2 would be Simba and Nala, for example.

The closest I've managed to get to some live chickens is seeing some live chicks for sale at a local agriculture store in the spring... I felt like I didn't really have the right to say "hey, can I hold them?" because I wasn't planning to buy, so I just watched...

Wait, I did get to hold one once as a kid or teen I think? But my autobiographical memory is very poor so I only remember That It Happened, if I had read it, with no first-person content. Like the difference between reading a wikipedia summary of a movie's plot and actually watching it.

I used to have a lot more time to write, too, but lately things have been wonky. And I also have my fanfic to continue working on... then again, I may end up having to link people to my own analysis eventually, to contextualize choices in my fic, so...

Here you go this is the tag for the current HM game I'm playing off and on and here's my Stardew Valley tag... I wrote some giant walls full of A VARIETY of topics when I first started blahgging so I apologize as you may have to swim through some stuff to find older posts about farming.

You know, I bet that was still painfully cute. Chickens are just awesome, up close and far away.

Ahh I hate it when that happens. You know something occured in your life, but your brain won't cooperate on telling you the exact details!

That sounds lowkey fun, actually. It's equivalent to a digital garden at that point but I can empathize with the annoyance since it IS a lot of work. Good luck with it, though. Being frugal with time and being effecient is tough!

Do you know if DW has any kind of oldest-first (rather than newest-first) view for tags, similar to the "chrono" modifier on Tumblr? I used to find it useful for reading through liveblogs on tumblr back when people did that a lot there.

(I've had memory problems for a long time, since at least my teens I think. I'm only in my 30s... I don't look forward to old age.)

It's very tough. I do have people I let preview my drafts, but I kind of wish I had a way to ask people experienced with ao3 for how to best structure the fics I write when I post them onto there.
