I've got this grand thing planned out but eh, The Fantasy Genre's fairly competetive and I'm kind of falling short despite rewrites. Not sure what I'm looking for but hell, I've got nothing to lose. Thanks for your time and potential interest.

I would really appreciate it if someone would give me some constructive criticism. I am not very sure what's wrong exactly... But I spent a lot of time on it and I would like to hear some opinions. Thank you! :)

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:

Hey there everyone!
I found this comminuty out of sheer boredom and decided to join. I'm a writer for Fanfiction and I haven't exactly finished any of my stories yet (writer's block heh) but I'm also a writer for FictionPress.

Right now I haven't gotten far and I'm not really sure if I'm doing alright.
So if you could check out my story it would be greatly appreciated:)

My not so charming prince
Summary: Every girl’s Prince Charming was handsome, polite, intelligent and utterly Charming. But Erica’s just happened to be a real jerk with a stick up his arse not to mention his ego’s the size of Russia.
Some Prince he was.
There is nothing charming about a guy who almost runs you over with his car, calls you an idiot and then proceeds to kiss you.

Look on the bright side Erica; at least he’s a good kisser.

The reason I want people to check it is because I'm not so sure that I'm doing it very well. I don't know if whatever is bugging me is the characters, the plot or the setting.

Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love...

Hey LJers,

I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)

Thanks,

I'm looking for a beta reader for my sci-fi m/m romance story. Any takers?
