Spy X Family voice actor temporarily steps down  
Dani Chambers who voices Becky Blackbell (One of my favorite characters in the series,) is taking time off voice acting for voice therapy as stated on a post she made on X:

"This isn't permanent but when my voice comes back I can pop back in," Chambers said. "I'm currently in voice therapy to work on getting back to my normal range. But for now, Becky (and other baby voices) will be voice matched."

The announcement came hours before Season 3 of Spy X Family premiered on Crunchyroll.

Meanwhile, Chambers will still be providing her vocal talents to other characters in the show. Alongside voicing Becky Blackbell in Spy x Family, Chambers has also been in the English dubs of Solo Leveling, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and several video games, including Pokemon Masters and Genshin Impact. - gamesradar

Complementary creators needed!  
We have two works that so far have not received complementary claims for the due South/Canadian Six Degrees Big Bang. I know our extended schedule is running up against holiday exchanges, which makes signing up for this more complicated, but we have some really lovely primary works this year and I'd like everyone to get a complementary work if possible - so please, go take a look and see if there's something there that makes you feel inspired! 

The unclaimed creators are Creator 1 and Creator 6 in the complementary claims post; complementary works would be due November 21 (with a mandatory checkpoint on November 1).

AWS outage  
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.

Dear The Joining Exchange Creator,  
First of all, relax! I'm far from being picky, and I can pretty much guarantee that I'll love whatever you decide to create for me. These are nothing but guidelines, for you to take to heart or ignore to your heart's content. Also, hey! You're writing me fic or drawing me art! That's automatically a good reason for me to love you, no matter what. So, please, keep that in mind. Trust me, you can pretty much do no wrong. ♥

More details under the cut. )

The end of an era...  
Those of you who've been around for ages probably remember when I worked at what I not-so-lovingly called the Restaurant of FAIL when I first moved to Maryland. There was a beer & wine store nearby that doubled as a small bar that I spent a lot of time at back then, and even once I moved further north I still tried to go there from time-to-time until I, you know, stopped having a car. Even now, whenever I happened to be down in the area for a doctor's appointment or whatever, I'd try to stop by since it's within walking distance of the metro.

Anyway, I just saw that they made a post on Facebook on Thursday saying that they're permanently closing tomorrow. Three days' notice. That's it. Considering that very much is not something the Gilly's that I knew would do, I quickly did some googling to figure out what on earth was going on. And, well, I found this Reddit post from back in February. Which explains a lot.

From what I can tell, without any warning they fired the entire management team (some of whom had been there for 10-15 years) for nepotism purposes, which pissed off a lot of the staff and caused many of them to quit. Then a big chunk of the long-time customers stopped visiting after that as well, because the staff is what kept people coming more than anything. And, uh, it doesn't seem to have ended well for them.
