update-y, cheerleading-type thing
'lo out there in Appellathon land. It's the 2nd of March for about 2 more minutes in my timezone, which means it's 17ish days until the posting period opens. Are you writing, vidding, and otherwise creating? We hope so, because we're looking forward to seeing what you come up with. You already blew us away with the prompts. And speaking of prompts, the final list is complete (the whole blowing us away part also involved taking us longer to get the final list ready, but such is life). The final count was 536 prompts. \o/ Go you! \o/
Also, don't forget that as much as we want to see as many of these prompts get used as possible, you're free to come up with other ideas. To wit...I booted up my computer tonight to show my brother something when he noticed the cartoon I have on my desktop. It's xkcd's riff** on IHOP*** and House of Leaves ,**** which is itself very much along the lines of what we're doing with the Appellathon. So I ended up explaining the joke to my brother, which involved pulling House of Leaves off of my bookshelf. Then my brother says, "Someone should do that for House(,M.D., the TV show), which just made me smile from the awesome. Because someone really should. And my point in all of this is that there ain't no party like an Appellathon party 'cuz an Appellathon party don't stop (or something). There are *always* fandoms to cross over by name.
We'll be back with an update post closer to the posting date. In the meantime, keep spreading the word, and as always, feel free to contact us with any questions.
