This...isn't spam, or lulz, or a meme, but I wasn't sure if it was 'official' enough to post in the OOC comm, since it's just me going 'GUYZ HALP I'M PATHETIC'.

...So, um, on that note. Guys. I need your help.

Ever since I've started at the Wake, I've tried to keep track of tags and threads just by going through my e-mail. This system is clearly inadequate and utterly stupid, and my head isn't on screwed on straight enough to keep up with the mess that is my inbox. I've finally decided to apply a strategy from my real life; if I'm anal and make lots of lists that I can check off, I get crap done. Really, it's apparantly super-effective. I make straight As because of it.

So I made a list. Or...am making.

But this has stirred up a problem I've been avoiding for far too long - ever since...geez, I guess CoG, I've completely fallen apart on log posts, and I've been using that as an excuse to not get involved in other logs. It's like a completely unamazing domino effect of fail.

So all I need to know from you guys is this - if I have EVER been in a log (or a thread, but I'm especially worried about logs right now) with Sora and one of your characters, and you would be interested in finishing it, I'd be incredibly grateful if you would let me know here or on that post. If you aren't interested in doing so, that's also completely okay - I'm only doing this so that I can get a bit more organized and know for sure what I should be focusing on at the moment.

Anyhow, that's all. I'm really sorry for the spam and fail, guys, especially if I'm not supposed to post this here or should post this at all or...anything. I'd add, like...puppies or a funny video or something, here, but I'm incredibly awful at finding that sort of thing. That's what I have YOU for.

nothing pending but I have some friendly advice since lord knows my inbox is a complete mess.

what I did a couple years ago was create a second e-mail account on gamil, amazingly I was thinking ahead and knew all these RP tags would flood my regular inbox. What I found is it's a lot more reliable than hotmail with receiving lj notifs. and the way every comment in a single thread gets organized into a single conversation (so long as the subject line doesn't change) makes things so much neater. then I just star things that need immediate attention so I know it's important when I get a reply.
You can also be really anal and label things however you like I don't know much about that though.

But yeah. Like Dragon said we all do this differently that's just what works for me. Hope you can get this all figured out!
