#project things

hi! i’m irina and for ages ive been loving this specific project sekai fanfiction. it’s akitoya and anhane, with lots of twists and turns, and there’s about ~5 chapters left of it. the author has always been super fun and nice in notes and comments, and also kind of having a bad year it seems like, and this fanfiction is a work of art in itself, soooo i’m putting together a thank-you project for them for when it’s over!

if you haven’t read it yet, it’s on ao3! “the consequences of mediocrity.” even if you don’t want to participate, i highly recommend ^v^

if you are a writer, artist, or even just wanna write a nice note, let me know! and we can all figure out the main game plan together. let’s give back to an awesome writer!

the author said they liked either a fan letter or fan works based on their thing, so those are on the table ;; they said no gifts or money!

we have 10 weeks ish til the last chapter if the ao3 number is right and i was gonna maybe give it to them in a comment or tumblr ask the day it comes out? unless someone has a better idea

so far my ideas are either a collection of fan letters or fan works like art or drawing, or maybe both? we can all make a fan project for them and then maybe each write a little intro thing. but i’m definitely open to ideas and collaboration! maybe we could even all work on a joint project instead of a collection of individual ones???

Home Monitoring with Things Gateway 0.6

When it comes to smart home devices, protecting the safety and security of your home when you aren’t there is a popular area of adoption. Traditional home security systems are either completely offline (an alarm sounds in the house, but nobody is notified) or professionally monitored (with costly subscription services). Self monitoring of your connected home therefore makes sense, but many…
