Heya darling, I'm glad you made it! May it inspire you to crush Flamingo. I'm sorry about the art. I would have loved to work with you on this.

Between this and some offline stuff, Flamingo has been on hold waaay too long. Busy with the next chapter now.

I would have loved to see what you'd do with this story. Trouble was I was pretty sure I was going to have to drop out till right near the end and then it was about writing flat out, still not being sure I'd be done by the deadline, and not wanting to waste your time. In the last three days I was really kicking myself for not asking if you could fit it in after all :( Fortunately it's something that could take lots of pics off the internet in the body and then just my (basic) cover, lol. Next time, can I still ask you, please? Love your art!

*hugs*

Yes, you can ask, of course - if I don't volunteer first. :)

I have Sanctuary bookmarked for December, when the NaNo madness is over. I still feel a little guilty that I didn't sign up for Yuletide. It feels like treason. Who knows, maybe a nice pinch hit will come along.

*hugs*

There's also the MPTT Yule swap - http://lotr-community.livejournal.com/377330.html :) :) And, of course, SeSa! Come on, keep me company.

*hides*

I wasn't going to sign up for either but with the NaNo gone to hell, well. I blame it on you. :P

I hope I get a better assignment from SeSa. Last year's was dreadful. I don't think I'm very good at using the AO3 forms. I give a lot of leeway as I do in manually matched swaps but automatic matching isn't as smart as real people. Cross your fingers for me!

*hugs*

I chickened out on SeSa. I looked at the requests and could see the only one Ao3 would give me and - no thanks :( I don't know what happened this time, there was such a big selection last year. I'm still doing the lotr_comm/MPTT Yule though - at least you get to choose your own prompt there! (I need to get mine in, they've moved the date and are closing sign ups on Monday and so of course I'm procrastinating now. Because I can, yes)

[talullahred.livejournal.com]

See? I do fail at the new SeSa format - I didn't even know you could see the requests. Also, I think there must be something wrong with the forms... or maybe it's just me, but it allows any fandoms. On other swaps I've entered at AO3 I could only see the fandoms that we're supposed to write in.

That's weird, I'm sure it only offered Tolkien last time. I wish they had left it on LJ, I'd have signed up then. Probably as well though, now I'll only have the lotr_comm Yule to worry about. And Flamingo, of course. The fic that knows no end :(
