Tracking stuff & other Q&A

[silvercat17]

I've had a few questions on how to track one's supply and styles usage, etc. Previously I posted the accomplishments checklist I made

So how do y'all track your stuff?

I've got a couple of things. On my wordpress blog, I keep track of what I've done and I'm keeping a tally of my supplies and styles. I also have a spreadsheet that does the same thing (click to see it larger)



I'm sure somebody really good with spreadsheets could set up a report or count of the styes and supplies, but I just use find (ctrl+f) to count the number.

I also thought of a document with the supplies/styles and numbered lists of stories, like

Charcoal

1. “Connection”
2. “Saudade”
3. “Running Late”
4. “Donville’s Morning Prayer”
5. “Foundation”
6. “Techrat’s Nightmare”

which is very easy to set up in any word processor.

And while I have you, what are some other questions you've have or had before? Especially if you think it'd be useful to add the q&a sections on @rainbowlist

For example, I'm going to add 'how many supplies can I use with one piece?' Answer: as many as you can make work. I've seen posts with almost 15

As you may know I have not been active on Rainbowfic for a while since I got sucked into other interests than OC writing (the Untamed slippery slope into danmei, it's real), but I think I just picked a color and did a color, and if I happened to get an achievement I marked it up, but didn't really strive for achievements and kept zero track. I tracked the colors while I hadn't finished them yet and marked achievements on the tags, that's all. But this is very in keeping with my way of letting my creations sink into the ether. At least I have been trying to fish some out by putting some rainbowfic on AO3.
