Name: Favorite People
Story: Tales From the Neighborhood
Plot Thread: Michael, Robert, and Stephen
Colors: Warm Heart #28: Heart
Styles and Supplies: Silhouette (I can use Silhouette for a QPR, right?), Life Drawing, Gesso, Glitter (this poem)
Word Count: 1685
Rating: T
Warnings: Implied threesome
Characters: Stephen Bren, Robert Bren, Michael Wolf, Philip Marsh
Summary: Robert returns home from his shopping trip.
Notes: This did not happen in my game. The only reason this is Gesso is because aliens (insert Ancient Aliens meme here). Originally I dreamed this one up as a kind of funny thing that could happen to Robert after the Cold Issue Clothing episode, but then it wound up morphing into the more serious conversation in the second part. Since that's 2/3 of the piece now, I decided it didn't merit being Vaudeville.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
