EDIT@6:54PM PST

We just implemented a temporary fix for our internal network and it *looks* promising. We'll let it bake in overnight and see how well it performs tonight and tomorrow.

------

Hi hi!

We've completed the majority of the move and had the site back up by 20:00 UTC (hey, look, I can post! You can read! Yay!) , but there's still some lingering issues that we need to clean up and are aware of so please be a little more patient while we wrap up the odds and ends.

I want to echo the lj_releases post where we thank burr86 and dormando for their ceaseless efforts, skill and knowledge. The LJ Ops and Engineering teams have/are *still* working their butts off but without burr86 and dormando's expertise, we could not have pulled this off.

For you techies, the slowness on our website is known, and the issue is currently isolated to oversubscribed ports on our core switches. That's direct from our vendor. Yeah, I know... Anyways, we're trying to implement a temporary workaround and we'll be looking to upgrade our hardware as a permanent solution. Please, hang in there a little longer!

I'm a lurker and I've read up to chapter 37 and just realized there are 51 chapters to the series, so far. I'm a bit lost as to the linear time-line of the story and the events that have happened.

I was wondering if someone could provide me with a summary of what's going on. Spoil me as much as you like, I don't mind. All I know about the series so far is what I've learned up to chapter 37. I know nothing of the anime - there's an anime? - or the drama cds or another other information about the series.

I greatly appreciate any help that you can provide.

Title: Of Pain and Gain
Author: a1y_puff
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Characters: Fuji, Tezuka
Prompt: #37. Turbulence
Genre: humor/fluff… I guess?
Word Count: ~1600
Rating: G
Summary: Fuji got a taste of the menace that is Inui Juice.
Warnings: unbetaed, random, possible OOCness, and I’m probably ruining Fuji’s cool image for just a little bit… but he is also a human, alright? XD
Disclaimer: PoT belongs to Konomi-sensei. Tezuka and Fuji belongs to each other. Prompt belongs to 50scenes. Only the plot is mine xp

A/N: Just because I’m having a stomachache and I wanted to write so Tammy (milkyxduckie) suggested to make either Fuji or Tezuka suffer from a stomachache. Blame her.

( Your stomach? Did you eat anything weird? Or maybe you had too much of spicy food… )

First time posting here. I recently bought volume 1 from a seller on ebay and was quite excited when I found this extra inserted between the cover and the fly-leaf. Click for larger scan of image. Souma looks absolutely luscious. *gurgles*

Hi! There was a small mistake in chapter 37, just released... a few hours ago. Please download the fixed page here and replace it in your chapter. 8)

Thanks,

~ Miki.

Rating: R (for language)
Genre: Drama
Word Count: 4778
Pairing: Tango Pair / Sanada x Atobe // Silver Pair / Shishido x Ootori

Note: Sooo... this is the one before the last chapter. Actually, the story ends here. But I will write an extra one with Niou, Yagyuu and Jiroh and other ones. ^^ Well, I somehow like the ending of this chapter very much. It's the best to hear sad music while reading the end >D You know, it gives you this feeling x3~ I hope you like it! Comments are ♥

By the way, for who wants to know, I'll write a NiouYagyuu / InuiKaidoh and a ShishiTori ff soon x3~ (I hope you will like both!)

Moving Day and What It Means for You

Moving What Where?

The long-awaited server move takes place this Tuesday, November 18, at 8:00 a.m. PST. We're moving the site from servers based in San Francisco to the servers in our new data center in Montana. A massive data move like this takes a lot of heavy lifting, and to haul all that data from San Francisco to Montana, we have to take the site down, starting at 8:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday morning. We don't think the move will take more than four hours, but there's always the possibility that it could take longer (the best laid plans and all).

What Does This Mean for You?

During the downtime, nothing on LJ will be available—no posting, no Friends page, no LJ mail, nada. When we bring the site back up, we're going to ease into it rather than open up a floodgate of traffic. Posting might not be immediately available or the site could be slow to load for a while.

New servers mean new IP addresses, so it's possible that LJ mail might not reach your email inbox because your email provider or client doesn't recognize the new IP addresses. We're working with email providers to whitelist the new IPs. There are a few things you can do on your end:

• Add these two IP addresses to your "allowed senders" list (or whitelist) and address book in your email client: 208.93.0.18 and 208.93.0.50. These are the new IPs for sending comments notifications and LJ mail to your email inbox.


• Add lj_notify@livejournal.com and webmaster@livejournal.com to your email address book.

If you can't edit the spam or junk filters in your email client, you may need to disable them entirely. Make these changes just before 8:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday morning or shortly after the site comes back up to ensure that your LJ mail makes it to your inbox.

Those of you who use domain aliasing to forward your domain to your LiveJournal will need to create a CNAME record that maps to livejournal.com. Please note that we're no longer supporting the A record. For more information, check the domain forwarding FAQ.

Before the move, you can check lj_maintenance for complete details about the planned downtime. During the move, you can check status.livejournal.org for updates about the site's status.

Permanent Account Sale Delayed

We regret to inform you that due to the server move, the Permanent Account sale has been pushed back to December 4, rather than November 20 as announced in the last news post. After the virtual dust has settled from the move, we'll be able to turn our attention to the Permanent Account sale. Except for the start date, the details remain the same: You have a limited opportunity to purchase LJ for life for only $175. It's a bummer to delay the sale, but on the bright side, you have more time to save up.

But What About A La Carte Userpics?

We know we promised more information about a la carte userpics, and we're sorry that details have not been forthcoming (blame it on the move). We're still planning on having a la carte userpics, but we don’t have any details yet. When the move is over, we'll have more information. We're sorry for the delay.

Characters: Echizen, Kikumaru, Sengoku, Aoi and... Sanada. In shota.
Artist: gogomeganes
Rating: PG-13. Nearly not-worksafe. Well, it depends where you work...
Preview:
