In which Comcast is stupid

If anyone out there has ever sent email to me @livejournal.com and wondered why I'm such absolute rubbish about answering ... it's because stinking Comcast has been blocking redirect mail from LJ. Apparently somewhat blindly, too, because my work email account gets no notice of failure.

I get notifications just fine! I think! I just don't get email for one of my primary give-out addresses! It doesn't go to my spam folder, it just evaporates! And Comcast doesn't seem to have any kind of IP-level whitelist tool!

(Thanks to aurora_novarum for reporting this and providing troubleshooting evidence.)

Anyway: I'm going to turn off my email link for now, because I don't have time to deal and don't want to break notifications. My alum (redirect) account apparently gets through to Comcast fine, and my work account is fine, for those who already know those addresses; if anyone needs to reach me by email, comment here and I'll supply a working email address privately. Comments will be screened for my safety as well as that of anyone asking me to email them directly.

Pfeh.

Bring out your red! Bring out your red!

... pens, that is.

Okay, I've written a fanfic. Currently, it's in a very rough draft form. I am not leaning onto anyone to read it, but I would certainly appreciate anyone who would be willing to read it and give me feedback, particularly suggestions for improvement.

Anyone who's interested should leave a comment to this post, email me, or IM me. I currently have the entry in a filtered post, and only people who explicitly request access will be able to see it. (Anyone who requests or has requested .rtf or Word97 format can expect to receive that under separate cover but should also have access to this version.)

Basics: It's Stargate: Atlantis fanfiction, with Doctor Who crossover. It's a romance, and I would rate it somewhere between G and PG. Tame stuff, in other words. Anyone not caught up with DW Season 4 or SGA mid-season 5 should probably stay away (except for those who enjoy being either spoiled or bewildered).

Comcast: Successful save v. stupid!

So, Comcast was blocking LJ redirect mail. I reported that they shouldn't do that. They fixed it (for now, anyway) and all mail sent to my @livejournal.com address today came through. Yaaaayyy!
