I'll start! Hi, my name is Aster, and I am co-modding this comm/challengething along with the wonderful ! We decided to start Origfic Bingo after several years of playing with various bingo challenges and having tons of fun with them. This year, though, as the bingo population seemingly exploded, we found that our original character muses were flinging ideas at us in response to the bingo prompts...and none of the bingos we could find allowed original fiction! :O ( ... )

Thank you SO much for setting this up. I'm excited! I will probably be pretty slow to accomplish a bingo though. :D

(Ha ha, would it make more sense to block the LJ comm comments and just have people reply/sign up on dreamwidth? I was wondering where all the members were until I poked around over there. Have signed up and will comment over there! :D)

We weren't sure how many people would join up over here. The problem is that if we block comments, then anyone who posts fics over here won't be able to get comments.... This comm was started so that anyone who was LJ based could post their stuff and wouldn't have to deal with DW if they didn't want to (and openID accounts can't post, so if we ran it totally on DW, everyone would have to get a DW account to play). If it ends up that most of the action is over on DW, we'll comment to that effect, and then it's really up to the LJ folks whether they want to post/interact over here or over there....

Ahhhh, that makes sense!

Thanks again for running this. I'm so excited!!

So are we! Thanks for coming to play! :D

I'm really looking forward to this! I've been wanting to get back into writing some original stuff so this is a great opportunity. Also, I'd like to add that I'm glad you made an lj version. I've been too lazy to move to DW. ):

:D Glad you found us! We haven't been spreading the word on LJ as much, but yeah, we totally wanted some of the LJ people to be able to come and play!
