Palelyloitering on a Sunday...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

So, I'm sitting here wondering what to do with myself today (I have so many things I should be doing, but my neck hurts again and I'm sulking and don't want to deal with tetchy sisters etc... I have put the laundry on, though... *g*) and I've opened my software to update palelyloitering, and that's led me to wonder... *g*
[Poll #1719915]

ETA - of course it'd help if I pointed out what palelyloitering is for people who've not come across it and tick the first box! *g*

I went to palelyloitering the other day to look at the story lists, but I couldn't find them. Of course, they're there now, so whether I was just being stupid or you were updating them, I don't know *g*

D'you know, I went to pages the other day that should have been there but came up as errors - I wonder if the webhost was having a glitch... Glad to hear they're all there now, though!

"Never" - but only because I'd never heard of it.

That's likely changing to at least "sometimes" in the very near future. :D

Hee - good reason! *g* Hope you find something useful there, then - it's very much a work in progress, and probably always will be...

I have it on my list for Update Scanner (invaluable Firefox extension) and I'm always interested to see what's new.

What's the actual name of this add-on? I couldn't find it.

No idea why it isn't showing up in the search results now!

One tip: I find it helpful to go to Advanced on the Properties tab when I add a new page to the list and disable flash and JavaScript, which can sometimes hang the application, and they are always available on the current page.

There should be many more new things more quickly, but I'm trying to plod along, at least... *g*

I always check for zine reviews/contents before I consider purchasing, which I find invaluable.

Many thanks for a very useful resource.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Which reminds me, I need to add Alexandra's... *g* And yeay that it's helpful!

I've been there numerous times in the past year, because I am re-discovering the Pros and wanting to find all the fanfiction. I chose often for that reason. I am in the US, and in the minority as far as TP fans go. I would recommend PL to any new fan looking for a comprehensive story/author list.

You rock BSL!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Aw - thank you! I'm really glad you're finding it useful, especially as it's nowhere near complete, and there are so many holes and pieces missing, still!

I read the Automated Hatstand, the Circuit Archive, the Hatstand and Oblique Publications (that was my "first"). I know about the existence of palelyloitering, but I always thought, there weren't any other things except online stories and zines.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It was mostly originally for me to be able to find Pros stories in all the different ways I might want to look for the - so by author and title, as well as zine and then storylist... And if there's anything else anyone can think of that might be helpful, I'd try to include it too. I'd love to find a way to make it searchable, too...

[nypagan.livejournal.com]

Searchable would be great. S&H has an archive thats searchable by situation, slash/gen and by episode. Kind of like the Circuit Archive, only better.

I'm relatively new to the fandom and I find this a very useful site. I check PL before buying any zines and use the reviews to find new stories. You do a terrific job with it!

I have been using palelyloitering (http://www.palelyloitering.com/) more and more in the past 12 months, and found it an invaluable resource. It is the first place I turn to when I am considering purchasing PROS zines (both new and second-hand/OOP).

I have a particular idosycrancy where if I found a story by an author interesting I would then search for everything that author has written in PROS to read (by the way, I'm just about to post another "please help" request over at the loiteringpalely community to locate a specific story by a particular author… *g*). Palelyloitering is useful because it not only lists the stories by author, but also where the stories are located. I also love the story lists section because the PROS stories are grouped by themes.

Thank you for maintaining such a handy resource.
