Day 6

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

so it is wishing time, i can totally do that:
if ther was a stardust fairy to grant me my wishes, i would ask for

• more podficers! there is nothing like having a fanfic read to you, and you can do it while you are cleaning the flat/fighting the ironing/amuse your pet- podfics are just awesome and we do need more of them
  
  
• in relation to one, i would wish for more authors (for me this is especially for hp-authors) to state if they give blanked permission, or have a list up of either works they are ok with to be podficed, or works they wish would not be podficed, this would be soooo helpful!



• i wish for a strict accountability partner when it goes to writing. i set out 2019 with writing every day for half an hour, i know it is possible... i haven't written a word since the 4th... this is so frustrating.
  i would do it with a point system- where we would keep each others point, everybody gets 100 base points- meeting your daily goal grants you 5 points, not doing so penalty of 10 points - the first one reaching 0 has to state so on their journal- and show the amount of the scores(or some other penalty), then there would be a reset - the idea being it never gets to 0 though; we could totally do that in groups i think- but NO excuses outside of: in hospital sick/unconcious/broken fingers is allowed- none! anyone up for that?

Hey, go you for doing CS! It's a beautiful and challenging field :)

Glad we agree on the point scheme :) What are we using for tracking? I use Python + a CSV for tracking my wordcounts, so I'll edit my script and post it on my journal by tomorrow (hopefully, might take a couple of days max).

well if you were so kind to share your script and csv with me i can use it in my linux system
- one point how do we contact each other at the end of the day - also i think i am before you in time- i am in europe

I'll post it soon. It can count and store wordcounts to a file as well as calculate points. My primary OS is Linux and the script uses `wc` for counting words (which I think is only available on Unix), but the point calculator should work on any OS.

I'm in Asia. We could contact each other at the end of the day our time, so both of us could be updated on our progress by the next morning?

Can we use Dreamwidth PMs? Or should we make a spreadsheet on Google Drive? The spreadsheet would be easier for long-term tracking and seeing trends. I might be able to automate updating the GDrive spreadsheet through the script, I'll have to look into it...
