*grin* I think you two had entirely too much fun pairing up people for this exchange!

...though now I'm worried that my writing is becoming predictable, since you were able to send me a challenge that perfectly matches my style in every particular. :D

Thank you both! I'll get to work on it right away!

[waxbean]

Fun is certainly one word for it! Others might include multiple cries of "gah!" and "I'm going blind!" and "my wrists! my wrists!" ... no, I'm mostly kidding-- it was quite fun to think about all of you.

As for your writing becoming predictable.... well, anyone who spent some time over at N_O wouldn't be caught dead making that assumption!

This is your chance at anonymity, too -- perhaps you can try something a little different, since your "rep" isn't going to be on the line!

good luck -- personally I'm rather excited to see what you'll make of your particular assignment!

*laughs and offers Ace bandages and ice packs* You're too funny, Mary! And kind. Thank you! ;) We all appreciate the time and energy you and vulgarweed have put into this!

Have you been watching the excitement around NO lately? It's going to ramp up even more over the next couple of weeks...

I'll go set up my anonymous account now and start brainstorming. Time to get into the holiday spirit!

[vulgarweed]

Welllll....we did put thought into the matchmaking, yes. ;) But predictable?? I think not. Not the same thing at all.

I CAN'T WAIT. *___* Omg, I know I have like all of November, but I'm like half-done already, LOL!

I suuuure hope they like what I'm doing. ::giggle::

You guys rock for doing this. :D

[vulgarweed]

And you rock for being so into it! (I knew that tempting investment would pay off...)

Seriously, that means a lot. Our eyes were falling out last night but it will all be worth it.

[waxbean]

It's great to see your enthusiasm!!!!! It makes me even more excited than I already am about this whole thing.

Thanks!
Mary

[waxbean]

But is that 'cause you're excited or worried? Or both?

*wibbles* I'm very, very excited. :)

The two of you rock my socks for arranging this, you really do. I'd offer you tea and crumpets if we were in the same country. ;)

[waxbean]

I'm pretty darn excited about this, too!

I'll take you up on tea & crumpets at the next feasible opportunity, thanks!

Arrghhh normally it takes me FOREVER to finish tradey type things, but I'm already almost done as of right now. XD

Thanks so much for organizing this, guys. XD It's so exciting.

I do have a question, though... When we're ready to submit, if we're planning on doing that under a secret LJ identity, when/how do you want us to submit things?

[vulgarweed]

Email them to us (at the address on the userinfo) and we'll post them for you here. But alas, we won't start posting until December 1.

The secret LJ identity is in case you want to reply to your feedback before January.

[dwightsredshoes]

And suddenly it all makes sense. :D Thanks.
