A few general reminders

[bauble]

The first round of the claiming process is still ongoing. There are still some unclaimed prompts, so if you have not commented with your claims yet, please do so quickly. Once the first round of claims closes, we will be having a second round of claiming. The exact day and time the second round opens is still to be decided.

Check-in doesn't mean we have to send you a rough draft already, right? Because I don't think I can get 5,000 words done by the 11th. I have my dissertation due in a week, so that's what I'll be writing in the next few days. (Hopefully. LOL.)

Re: QUESTIONS

[carryokee.livejournal.com]

I just discovered this challenge and was wondering if it was too late to sign up as a writer. There are a couple prompts still unclaimed that look intriguing.

Re: QUESTIONS

[raths-kitten.livejournal.com]

Will you have posting dates over the weekend, or just Monday through Friday? Because I'll be gone for Asylum 5 over the 30./31. of October.

Re: QUESTIONS

[feather-touch.livejournal.com]

I have a question, I couldn't find the answer in the general rules etc, so if it's there and I missed it, I apologize.

Check in is tomorrow, Oct 11, and I'm about three quarters of the way through my fic, it's getting darn long! Anyway my question is after check in and before our posting dates are we permitted to post excerpts on our journals, or here or both, just for promotion and to get some advertising for the entire project?

I've seen that done before and have done it myself or another fandom and it seems to work out really well and be a lot of fun. Sort of makes everyone guess what everyone else is up to. It's also a nice reminder to those not participating that all these arts with fics are coming soon.

Hi, just to let you know everything going extremely smoothly from my neck of the woods with contact etc, I'm delighted with the art I got and feeling excited about writing for it. Great challenge, great idea, thank you for your hard work! :)

Re: FEEDBACK

[insane-songbird.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to tell you that you're doing a great job and so far things are running as smooth as can be. I contacted the two authors who claimed my art already and got replies as well, so everything's great. Now I'm just excited for the second claims round so that my third piece will find a nice home as well!
Thanks for your hard work. it's appreciated.

Re: FEEDBACK

[petite-madame.livejournal.com]

Everything is doing extremely fine so far (even if nobody wants my 3rd prompt )

I got in touch with my 2 authors, sent them the arts and they both answered back. So, no pb for me.

Keep up the good work and good luck the rest of the challenge. :D

Re: FEEDBACK

[becc-j.livejournal.com]

Far as I can tell both my prompts have been claimed (they're both crossed out) - which is really exciting :) After searching through all the messages though I can't seem to find who has claimed one of them, so I think I may have to rely on your email for that one. Otherwise sent a PM to the writer re the second prompt.

Thanks again for organising such a cool event. :) Hope your weekend hasn't been too stressful.

Re: FEEDBACK

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

My artist contacted me, the art is gorgeous, I'm very excited and have started writing. So, keep up the good work, it's going great.

Re: FEEDBACK

[playthefool.livejournal.com]

Everything's taken care of on my end - I wanted to say great handling of things and thanks for putting up with us! ♥

Re: FEEDBACK

[weimar27.livejournal.com]

I would say that make the writing period a little longer, maybe 2 months. It seems a really short period to write 5,000 words and have that beta'd before posting starts.

Thanks for your hardwork.

CONTACT

Please reply to this thread if you would like to leave contact information for your artist.

Re: CONTACT

[ex-kitty-al.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'd like my artist who did 1007 to contact me but I'd prefer if they'd PM me so I could give them my contact information such as my email or anything else they might want.

Also, in the piece I claimed, it sounded like a Castle fusion, but I was wondering if Castiel could be the writer with his recently divorced brother, Jimmy, and his daughter, Claire, with possibly their eccentric father, Gabriel thrown in the mix. Then I wanted to know the type of flower they used and the language that was on the side of the banner. It'd be extremely helpful so I could work those details in.

To the author of 2041:
I really wanted to claim your work, but unfortunately, I had to drop out due to some personal issues at the moment. Though, if no one claims your art, or you would like a second take on it, feel free to contact me via pm or at wincest_whore@live.com
Again, very nicely done!

Re: CONTACT

[entropy-maximum.livejournal.com]

Re: CONTACT

[pussycatbelle.livejournal.com]

I would like to be contacted by the artist of prompt 2031. I'm very excited to work on it and I would love to make sure we both enjoy what comes out of it. Feel free to PM me. Thanks for such a wonderful challenge!

[claudiapriscus.livejournal.com]

Hey, 1016! (It sounds so wrong to address people as numbers). Could you contact me through LJ? I'd give an email address right off the bat, but I've had some problems with emails being sent to the spam folder.

I'd just like to chat a little!

[rsc88tx.livejournal.com]

Hey. I need to withdraw this time around, where should I post that?

[heatherofnight.livejournal.com]

I'd love to hear from the talented artist who created 2030. If you're reading this, could you please PM me? I'd love to hear more of your vision for the story before my mad plotting goes into overdrive.

Contact info!!

[hunters-retreat.livejournal.com]

Hey! So I got claims #1008 and #1059. Artists, if you want to get in touch with me, you can PM me here and we can exchange email! I'm soooo excited! I was plotting in cosmology class instead of listening like a good little student tonight :P

[dime-for-12.livejournal.com]

Hi :D I got claim #1058, and I'd love to get in contact with the artist and talk some stuff over. I've got a few ideas, but I wanna make sure it meshes with the artist's initial idea!

You can contact via LJ email, or leave a comment at my journal so that we can exchange email addresses.
