Quick news and notes.

 

* Today is the last day you can vote in the current Pretty Boy Poll

* Related perhaps, please keep the *chan conversations off the tagboard. I don't want to gain notoriety with those folks. It would only end poorly for my sites, I'm sure.

* Boku No Sexual Harassment OAV 3 is now available over on shotalicious.org

* Any donations you'd like to make to help me get to DragonCon and/or Anime Weekend Atlanta this year would be much appreciated. Buying a book gets you a book and me 4 bucks so maybe it's time to finally get your copy?

* Stupid sexy Randy Orton got into a motorcycle accident just after he was cleared medically to return to the WWE and now is out -another- 3-6 months. Damn you Orton!

* I really thought the Opening Ceremony for Beijing's Olympics were the most beautiful thing ever televised.

* In Soviet Russia, Georgia will become part of you. (By force if necessary, apparently.)

* Happy (belated) Birthday Elf.

* Over on the secret Pico x Chico x Coco Hype site, the AMV for Boku No Pico has been fixed to where it now includes sound. Yeah, it kinda helps to have sound in an anime MUSIC video.

Coco's puzzle has arrived.

 

This is your last puzzle to try and figure out how to break into the shotalicious secret stash area. If you couldn't figure out Pico's cryptogram... If you couldn't figure out Chico's clock brain teaser... Maybe you'll fare better with Coco's rebus puzzle.

As always don't give out any answers or hints in the tag-board or over on shotalicious.org's message board. Keep it fun for everyone.

Full publish underway

 

Ever go to the archives and notice a little weirdness when it comes to the template. That's because as cool as blogger is, it kind of fails a bit when it comes to updating the site and archival and stuff.

It's two biggest problems is:

1) New template design has to be published to EVERY SINGLE OLD POST ENTRY. This takes longer than like a complete viewing of Titanic (which The Dark Knight is never going to beat in the box office).

2) Despite every post not being labeled with every label, blogger feels the need to REPUBLISH EVERY LABEL HTML FILE. This is especially infuriating since that makes every post I post on her regardless of how many or how few labels I use, currently over 100 MEGS worth of publishing has to take place.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is tonight I'm doing a full publish which should knock out some of the oddities in the archives. (Spoiler: This isn't going to make any old pictures that currently are broken come back. They are gone for good.)

Is that some Sensitive Pornograph?

 

Oh shit! Over on the shotalicious.org video page you have the oppertunity to download the first half of the landmark uncensored yaoi video. But please don't direct link it anywhere, and if you already have it, don't be downloading it again! We need all the bandwidth we can have. Especially since I've heard that Pico's code is related to the upcoming Pico x Chico X Coco video release in October?

What's that? You've not taken a look at his love letter up above?

Here are the hints so far:

*It's a code.
*One that uses letters to replace other letters.
*It starts with VVV which means it probably is a web address and V=W.
*If it's a web address it should end in .html shouldn't it?
*And if it's a web address the 8 letters per line shouldn't matter.
*And unless PIXIE bought a new domain, it should be either on pixiesticks or shotalicious site right?

Hmmm.

 

Looks like Pico is back with a new game he'd like to play with us. What IS he talking about in that moonspeak of his? If you don't recall, the last time the delicious trap showed up it was to let us all in on a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors in order to get the keys to a code. That eventually let people know that shotalicious.org was coming online.

He looks like he's giving us some code right off the bat to start with this time around. So what could it mean?

Bringing the Google search back.

 

Hopefully. I had to dig really deep into my computer to find an old template that I could gank the code from since ganking it from my uncle's site didn't work. It's late and I've had a long weekend which I'll tell you all about tomorrow.

Pretty Boy Poll results, and new question specially thanks to L from the tag-board.

 

I asked how long have you been visiting my site.

19 people were here for the very first time and boy did they get their cherry popped.
72 people said less than 6 months which shows we're growing all the time.
254 people and the most popular answer was 1 to 2 years. Thanks for sticking it out.
107 people said 3-4 years which means they know way too much personal shit about me.
14 people said 5-6 years and that is an honor to have had your attention this long.
30 people said SEVEN YEARS and each of you are clearly insane.

I'm going to pistol whip the next person who says shenanigans

 

So yesterday's April Fools joke didn't really get the response I was expecting. Maybe it was too hard to get, or maybe no one really gave a damn if I was naively being a racist when suggesting I was opening up a Spanish version of the site with the dubious name pixiespics.org. (Pixie's Pics Dot Org, get it?)

Anyway, to any that was offended and didn't speak up, well, yeah, April Fools and all that. Man, maybe I should have just had Chris Hansen come and take over the place again or something?

I swear.

 

People absolutely need to stop sending me emails about the yaoi archives.
People need to stop freaking out about things concerning shotalicious.org.

Oh boo-fucking-hoo it's changed to its own domain and has a bigger focus on shota. Yaoi is so damn mainstream now, it's not like you can't find it everywhere on the internet. Professional porn sites now have subscriptions that include yaoi, that's how mainstream yaoi is.

Yes, of course there is still yaoi on the new site. You know, the new one that you can get to if you go to the EXACT SAME LOCATION where you used to go. But people are so much more interested in freaking the fuck out that things are kind of different.

Well, let me make it perfectly clear. I like that I have fans. I like making this site. I've been doing this for 7 years and while I've wanted to stop now and then, I'll likely be doing it for at least 7 more.

But this is my website.
Mine.
Not yours.
So quit your whining and complaining about things that haven't even really changed.

THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED IS THE YAOI/SHOTA IS HOSTED ON ITS OWN DOMAIN, WITH ITS OWN HOSTING. AND THE OLD ARCHIVES WHICH WERE ALREADY LOST BACK IN DECEMBER ARE GONE AND ARE SLOWLY BEING REPOSTED.

This post is now going to be the OFFICIAL AUTOREPLY™ to any emailed or posted complaints that are covered in the ranting above.

I mean seriously, if you're really as big of a fan of this site as you say before you start going off about how much you hate what I'm doing, then don't you think you would have been keeping track of what's happened?

Also, all caps is cruise control for cool.

7 years. 7 long years.

 

On this, pixiesticks.org's 7 Year Anniversary, I want to thank all of you who have started coming out of the woodwork. All the emails. All the answers to the polls. To the comments on the tag-board, or on posts. All the donations, either of content or money.

This site is now, seven years after it started as something so very small, so successful I have decided to split it in two parts. And what's even better, you won't necessarily have to change anything about the way you view or have come to appreciate this site.

A few weeks ago, I purchased shotalicious.org and started building the framework. It has slightly better hosting than pixiesticks.org and I want it to be where all the shit goes down when it comes to the yaoi and shota content. It will be run as a separate site, but truly it's going to be tightly held together with this one.

It will feature increased amounts of shota vs yaoi. Seven years ago when yaoi was first really starting to make an impact, it was where the action was at. Now, shota is in that same position. I want shota panels at anime conventions. Hell, I want a shota convention in the United States! It's the only way we can ensure that the government doesn't start taking away what we love piece by piece my friends.

The new site will feature an image blog much like the one that used to be over on the yaoi page here. But in addition, there will be the glorious return of video clips. Hopefully the bandwidth will work out. But that is part of the beauty of this. If shotalicious does ever go down, pixiesticks will not. There is also a message board over on the new site which I think is in alot of ways better than the tag-board that will remain here.

As for pixiesticks? Well, it will continue to move forward too. The blog will keep containing news postings I think are interesting as well as personal stuff about myself. The works page, which took a hit when the site went down in December, will be renewed with vigor. Especially as I get done editing "Later, Skater" and it draws nearer to publishing. And, of course, the movie review page will be there too.

I know many people will be thinking, why are you totally screwing with things again so soon after you lost your webhosting back in December? But you have to look at it from my perspective: I want to be able to be as good as I was the day before that happened. And then, I also want to be better. I decided the only way that could happen was to separate the "in danger of getting deleted content" from the rest so I don't get totally heartbroken when the inevitable happens.

For seven years I've staked my claim on the Internet at pixiesticks.org.
Now, I'm doing it also at shotalicious.org. And trust me when I say, over there, I'm severely going to be marking my territory.

Thanks for 7 years.

With much love,
PIXIE

A thankful webmaster and words about March 11th.

 

I thank the anonymous person who recently made a money donation to the site. It's always quite helpful to have some extra coin in the coffers. Especially when something something is happening in only FIVE days that is going to bring this whole thing to a new level.

Oh you don't know what I'm talking about.

Well chew on this, suckas!

On March 11th, 2008, this website will turn 7 years old. A website that now brings in over 50,000 unique individuals a month. A website that, before it was taken down in December, had likely one of the largest permanent vaults of yaoi and shota on the internet. A website that fought back, tooth and nail to not only return but thrive once again.

A website that in just FIVE days, if you follow the signs, will have a little brother of its very own to play with.

Play the game.
Get the code.
Find the site.
Love shota.
Live shota.

Pico's Janken Game

 

As he alluded to in the messages the past few days, Pico has brought to me a neat way to hype up March 11th. He and his friends want to play Janken with you. Find his game that I took like 10 hours to code up at the top of the page. Click on the puzzle box and have fun. Please do not spoil the secrets for others. This is supposed to be fun.

Wait? It's not March yet?

 

Happy Leap Day everyone!

Lots of things going on at pixiesticks.org right now, and I wanna give you the latest in the Pico Love Letter plot as well as tell you some of what is planned for March. So listen up!

Today I just posted some yaoi over on the yaoi page. 26 images. Some are shota, granted. And some were sent in by Penny. They're the really unusual horror based ones. They're disturbing AND delightful!

Tomorrow I'm going to take down the secret stash and I won't be having one in March. While I know that's kind of a bummer, trust me, I'll be needing the bandwidth for other things.

Besides, you all will be busy trying to figure out what is revealed through Pico's game which he sent me today. Apparently that's what his love letters were trying to tell us. Now that I got a yaoi post up, I'll work on coding the game and putting it up on the site. I expect that to be done later today (Friday) or early tomorrow (Saturday.) It looks like it'll be lots of fun. Especially for those who do like trying to figure out the secret stash passwords.

As for March 11th. Well, as you know, that will mark the 7th Anniversary of pixiesticks.org. Not a very easy feat on the internet to reach that mark. Especially for a personal website! I was hoping we'd have a big party, all get together, and have a shota pop out of a cake or something. But I'm fairly sure that's illegal in like most countries.

So the idea of a Pixie-Con is going to have to be out this year.

What I DO have in store for you I think though will be just as cool, so I hope that you stick with the "plot," keep looking for clues, and have fun with it.

Well, guess I better get back to working on all of these things. Remember if you want to donate any yaoi/shota you can email me at pixiesticks@gmail.com. And if you wanna donate any cash, there is a great link for that to your left. You can email me too with any questions or whatever. Take care!

Pico Love Letter Update, or lack thereof.

 

Pico if it really was him, didn't email me back yet. I wonder if he can't understand my English just as badly as I couldn't understand his Japanese. Oh internets, why must you torture us by bringing the world so close together and yet so very far apart?

Hisui on the tag-board wanted me to post the email message directly rather than the image of it, but since many browsers, and apparently mine as well, won't show the characters, only question marks. That's why I took the screen shot.

Hopefully someone will be able to figure out what it says. Something about a play-date is all we have so far which sounds very hot.

And of course, I'll continue to slowly let the secret out about what is happening on March 11th, 2008. I can tell you right this moment, it isn't the following:

1. It has nothing to do with Elf.
2. Cloverfield Monster is not going to end up confirmed for brawl.
3. I am not going to start a Premium Pixiesticks subscription service.

Keep looking for clues as we get closer to the date!

Yaoi Archives

 

The yaoi archives are broken and I'm not sure if they ever worked properly. The problem is that pixiesticks.org still uses Blogger in an old fashioned way. I have haxxored it to keep my classic templates and along with other things, it's starting to spring some leaks every now and then.

What I have done to patch the problem is set up the yaoi archives to collect the posts monthly, to only show so many posts on the main page, and to have the drop down menu you see up there to the upper left.

Here's the part that it doesn't fix... Each of the pages you end up going to, say January 2008 for example, will also have the drop down box. But I can't get those to work right.

Why? Because I can't seem to get the templates for the yaoi archives to work properly due to what I said above about using Blogger in the old fashioned way.

So there you have it. It's not fixed, but workable until I stop being so frustrated with the shitty ass Blogger coding.

Welcome to February

 

A month filled with hearts, roses, chocolates, and ABSOLUTE MISERY!! Well, at least to those of us who are on the sidelines watching the rest of you love birds enjoying yourself. Hey! It's not for lack of trying. Though sometimes they say you can try too hard, right?

In any event, a new month brings us a new banner, new NAVI buttons, and a new secret stash over on the yaoi page. I also decided to upload some regularly accessable yaoi just for fun since I've been sick this week. It's all my friend Colin's fault. He got me sick last Saturday when we were filming that Mini Hannah Montana thing.

Oh, but I'm sure you're much more interested in your clues for this month's stash right?

Well first let me go ahead and tell you that THIS STASH ISN'T FOR EVERYONE! It features graphic bloody gore and violence along with the usual hot man on man buttstuff that we love so much.

Alright, now that that disclaimer is out of the way. Also remember the usuals... don't post any hints, or the stash password. Remember it's all lowercase and you have to actually press the submit button.

1. It's a five letter, english, proper name (but keep it lowercase).
2. It rhymes with what you are if you can't get this month's stash.
3. "Shot through the heart, and you're to blame!"
4. As always has to do with this month's theme.
5. Is shota.

As usual, if I see that after a few days people aren't getting it, I'll post some more clues on the comments section. But really people, the more you over think this, the more confused you're going to get. Good luck, and may you find love this month.

Amateur party people.

 

New Years Eve is one of the only nights of the year where the non-professional party people try to have a good time. I'm all for sharing the love (and the dance floor) with them, but some of you bitches need to know when to say when about three cocktails before you fall into me. And I'm talking about actual girls. Seriously! You're coming into our gay nightclubs, all fine and well, but don't make complete asses of yourself. You're pissing me off!

On a more positive note: Kaze and Tatsuo's hospitality was so wonderful. I felt very loved while spending our third New Years Eve together as friends. I ventured to their home, which is very lovely. We watched part of the Japan 4 hour annual New Years Eve concert. Tat gave me more Japanese candy! Yum yum yum.

WETbar is where pretty much all of the girls taking spills with their drinks in hand took place. But it was also where we rung in the actual New Year. Who would have thought this time last year Britney Spears would have had made such a disgraceful fall only to be reclaimed as a diva the pretty boys all love singing and dancing to?

I didn't win any of the cash money drop, but then again, I wasn't really trying. And I wasn't dancing so much either. This was because there really wasn't much space to do anything other than perhaps survey the carnage.

A jaunt over to The Body Shop afterwards was filled with ALOT more fun than usual. While I've discussed at length how the after-hours club has simply not lived up to any expectations, last night they really put on a barn burner. Sure, it was mostly filled with the sketchiest of the bunch (partly because another after-hours party at Center Stage was shut down by the po-po), but it was the most fun I'd had there in a while. And perhaps for the first time, The Body Shop felt like a real club.

Today I've spent mostly resting. It was a really long final day of 2007, but I'm glad to say that I survived a particularly troublesome year.

I've also been slowly chipping away at editing down my winning entry for NaNoWriMo written back in November. It's a novel called "Later, Skater" and I'm really fond of it. Editing isn't a easy chore to say the least, but I really feel good about this project and hope it will be successful.

Glad to have each and every one of you to start off this new year. 2008 could end up being one of the most dramatic in the world we live in, but one thing will remain constant: Pixiesticks.org will still stand tall as one of the best places for yaoi and shota.

So stick around and Happy New Year.

You Are Not Alone Contest Canceled

 

I should have made an official announcement earlier, but I'd been so pre-occupied with getting the site back up to something worth visiting. There was only one entry prior to today when a second person sent a short boy's love scene as requested, so I didn't really think anyone cared.

I am very sorry to those two people and have written them telling them so.

The You Are Not Alone DVD contest was canceled. I apologize and hope that I haven't upset anyone by this fact.

Bringing pixiesticks.org back to life: Part Two

 

I'm pleased to report that the old blog and all of its archives are back. All of the posts created their own post pages correctly. All of the archive links look to be working correctly. And I can post new posts going forward correctly.

Basically I just reclaimed the site's history which is very outstanding and surprising to me that it was able to be accomplished.

Now, the bad news is, at this moment, any picture that used to be posted on this blog is currently gone. I intend on fixing this, but this could take a long time since I have to upload all of them.

I still do not intend on returning the yaoi archives. It just is too large of an undertaking to bring all of that back the way it was. And I definitely do not intend on hosting videos since the bandwidth problems associated with them are what caused all of this to begin with. I know this is really making some of you upset or mad and angry. I'm sorry. But in the end, as always, it's my site and I'm going to run it like I want.

So bottom line, things are looking up. Still got a lot of work ahead of me to get this side of the site completely back. And the yaoi will continue to move forward on its own schedule but never backwards with reposting of archives.

--Love Always,
--PIXIE

A long fought reward.

 

So after trying to pull pixiesticks.org out from the ashes the last three days, when I finally got the site running the way it's supposed to, I went out to reward myself with alcohol. Hey, I got my priorities people. I wanted booze and boys and in that order.

Heretic was moderately quiet likely due to both the holidays, I Am Legend being all legendary and shit, and it had rained all day. Thankfully Kaze and Tatsuo were there along with a lot of their aZn friends whom are delicious but sadly not desiring the pixie. That's one of the problems with being in a community for so long. Everyone already knows you and has made up their mind about you.

Still, it was quite fun and I enjoyed talking with Kaze, flirting with Tatsuo and Raver J who is a Chinese boy who just can't seem to keep his clothes on. Seriously, he's running around the place shirtless, his tall lanky body all proudly on display, and his athletic pants all slipping off his waistline. He has such a delicate delicious ass too. And you know the front part is quite nice too, if interestingly a bit like him overall -- long and skinny.

When the lights came on, a guy visiting from Europe was asking for directions to The Body Shop. I told him that I could drive him if he wanted. I was angling for some cash or maybe some sex you know? I drove him up there and instead he paid for my way into the place. Gah! I could have likely gotten in free anyway considering I used to work there and still on occasion work at Heretic, but anyway. It was cool and I was glad to have had another hour or so dancing and listening to DJ Yoshi Bear who is quite good.

It was a very nice night out. A great reward for all the difficulties I'd been going through with work and then the site falling all over itself like sumo wrestlers in a vat of Crisco.

Bringing pixiesticks.org back to life.

 

I have been working hard all day trying to iron out programming bugs that have crept up while working on bringing the site back to life.

Basically the design for the site technically shouldn't exist. Blogger wants us all to update to ugly templates that feature all this new coding and custom stuff. But I don't want it and I know you don't want it. Pixiesticks.org that looks like MySpace? Fuck that!

So I've been trying to clean up the old template and make it work and that's created problems. For the site to proceed forward, I need things to work automatically like archiving and individual posts to have their own pages. And I want you to have things like individual post commenting still. And permalinks. An email link on every post. Hell, even date and time of when I posted something requires coding. And I was having a really hard time today getting all of that to work using this, I admit, outdated template.

But I'm pleased to say that I think I have everything working now. Each blog post is creating its own individual html page that also will list comments when they are made. Each weeks worth of posts should be collecting to their own weekly html page for archiving purposes. And even though the yaoi page is still empty, it looks like it will work like the blog page does (although without comments, individual post pages, and will be archived monthly.)

What this all means is that now that I think that the site has these bugs fixed, I can really start bringing pixiesticks.org back to life.

I need to reiterate there will NOT be an attempt to bring back the old yaoi archives, the Now Playing video section, or the secret stash. Though in time I will be attempting to bring the old blog archives back up somehow.

What will I be posting in the future? You're just going to have to come back and find out. I can tell you that we're going to start tomorrow with something we used to call... Yaoi Boi Sunday. See you then, and thanks again so much for your patience and support.

--Love Always,
--PIXIE

The Future of Pixiesticks.org

 

Hello my friends and fans of the site,

On Thursday, December 13th, my webhost, Powweb, suspended their hosting of the site. They said that the site pulled too much bandwidth and because they were alerted to the site, they checked it out and decided the content violated their Terms of Service.

I cannot access the records to find out if there was a sudden surge in bandwidth use, but historically the site has never even come close to reaching the monthly amount.

As for the Terms of Service violations, it's pretty much assumed that the site as long as it wasn't causing any bandwidth problems, the yaoi content of the site wasn't really a concern.

In any event, I obtained new webhosting, GoDaddy, and will be canceling my service with Powweb as soon as I can get them to communicate with me. Which, by the way, is proving to be pretty difficult.

Over the last two days I've been putting together the basic mainframe of the site. The five pieces that are familiar to anyone who's been to pixiesticks.org are about, blog, yaoi, works, reviews. There are now working skeletons of each of these parts, as is the link to the Amazon Honor System which is where you can make money donations.

There is absolutely no way I can return all of the archives of the past several years back online like a flip of a switch. It is impractical. It is messy. And it just won't work.

So, going forward, there will be a new blog and new yaoi section.

In the blog, it'll be business as usual in the posting of all sorts of news stories, private personal details, and just randomness. In the future, I will attempt to bring back the old blog archives so they aren't completely lost to time. This is as much for me as it is for anyone else. I just need to figure out how to do it without breaking anything.

In the yaoi, it'll also be business as usual in the posting of yaoi and shota pictures I find or people draw and send to me. There will NOT be an attempt to bring back the old yaoi archives, the Now Playing video section, or the secret stash. We will be building new archives going forward. I can't just upload all that stuff back up on the site right away and expect it to work. I am sorry if this causes anyone to be upset.


As for the other sections there have been minimal changes.

The about page finally makes logistical sense in being named about.html. It also has a new description and webmaster photo. In the future, the webmaster photo gallery and other personal information about me will be added.

The works page will be more logistically organized when it returns fully in the future. Currently, it has a slightly altered look with the addition of the most recent completed manuscript called "Later, Skater." In addition, all of the smaller short stories and poetry has been returned to the site.

The reviews page has been uploaded with no changes necessary since it was a glorified text file.

I know that change is hard for people. I know that a lot of you are new to the site, and that most of you only came for the yaoi. I know that some of you have followed pixiesticks.org for years. Some since the beginning. I want you to all continue to come back to my site, but understand if what's happened makes you want to delete your bookmark and move on.

I've only lost my webhosting once before when it comes to pixiesticks.org. It happened two years after the creation of the site, back in 2003. It's been twice that long now and it hurts more than twice as much.

But I think it happened for a reason. That there are lessons I need to learn from this. And that I need to take this chance to somewhat start again fresh. The site may not run smoothly for a while. Things are probably still going to break because I'm not a very good webmaster when it comes to programming html. And blogger is probably going to continue to give me a hard time.

However, I hope that all of this can turn out for the best.

--Love Always,
--PIXIE

Next Secret Stash Location.

 

So, how are you doing on this month's Secret Stash? Have you found any of the SEVEN links I hid? Did you find the one that lead to the first part of Sensitive Pornograph's first episode?

Well, go back and check them again because now one of the remaining SIX are active with the next Secret Stash location. There you'll find the second part of the SINFUL Sensitive Pornograph's first episode.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Maybe you need a refresher course.
