Just wanted to say this is totally just the little comm that could!

This may be one of the smaller ships within the fandom but you more than make up for it with your amazing enthusiasm and all of your awesome creative ideas to increase participation.

You should be proud of yourself for the fantastic job you're doing.

Now you're making me blush. I'm not that awesome. I just want people to have love and a good time. So I hope that people love it and such.

Plus this is my first time modding and I'm petrified of making a mistakee or something. So I hope that I'm doing a good job.

(Did you get my long flaily nerdy email about music? Hahaha Its so nerdy)

You're all determined to make me tear up aren't you? I just wanted to make this comm as awesome as the people in it. But I'm glad you all think I'm doing a good job.

I there a gleebigbang support community thing out there? I can vaguely remember stalking such a thing after I found out about the GBB.

Looking forward to the caption contest!

I think there is. But I went it on it a couple times last year and it was pretty dead. So I figure this way we can support if we need it with people we know will respond to us.

:D I am too! They're so much fun!

Yeah, it didn't seem as busy as the Yuletide support comm, and I could certainly use some poking or else this won't get done. I'm totally going to spam those posts with .gifs though.

Go for it! :) I think that I'm going to have them either Thursdays or Saturdays. I'm not sure which though.

Monthly challenge fic is going well, except for the part where I'm an idiot who cannot resist spinning every bunny out into a lengthy epic. Lots of late nights for me this week to make sure I meet the deadline :3

Support post for the gleebigbang sounds like a good idea. I tend to procrastinate and leave myself a lot to write when the deadline is looming (See above XD) so a weekly post where I can mark my progress would probably inspire me to take things at a sensible pace.

Is anything that you guys expect from me? Well, there is this one little thing...

I sort of expect you to sleep every now and then. Honestly you're like some kickass slash android who doesn't take a break from being a super inspiring mod =D

Oh darling. I bet I wasn't much help with all my color commentary and Matthew oogling. XD But you'll get it done and we'll get this epic fic that'll leave us all in the dust ( ... )

The color commentary is not a problem as I am still managing to write while I talk to you, if it gets to be a problem believe me I will make up an excuse and exit the conversation XD

But you'll get it done and we'll get this epic fic that'll leave us all in the dust. Haha, now there's some motivation.

I'm technically a bigbang virgin, but I wrote a 55K fic for a monthly challenge in the past; so I understand the problems that arise in writing to a set word limit and looming deadline.

First off I'm not an android, the mad scientist who built me assured me of that. Hahaha. I said something similar to a kid in my class once; "I'm not crazy. My psychiatrist said so." The slightly sad thing is that I was entirely earnest and only realised after I'd said it how stupid it sounded.

I am with you on the 'boring class = plans to escape'. Once, our plan to escape science by climbing up through the ceiling tiles was thwarted when the teacher noticed.

I agree with the above comments! You're doing a great job keeping us busy with our writing, which I appreciate. I enjoy the motivation of the competition.

My monthly challenge fic is between 1/2 to 2/3 the way done. I have an idea of what I want to happen, it's just getting to that point and adding a little bit of action to it. But overall I'm very happy with it.

I also have an idea for the last bi-weekly writing prompt, but I have a hard time writing two stories at a time >.< I get focused on one idea at a time.

And what exactly is the Glee Big Bang?

Ah! A good question young padawan!

A Big Bang is challenge with a minimum that can range from 10,000 to 25,000 words that has to be completed (or almost completed) over the period of several months. There's usually no maximum limit set. This is the second time that Glee's big bang has been hosted.

However, I'm sorry to say that you missed the sign ups. I know it sucks. :(

But never fear! I know that there are going to be at least two Winn Big Bangs coming out of it! :D Plus many more from our fellow talented writers. So clear you calender for January.

If you are artistically inclined or know your way around making a fanmix, then I suggest you sign up for the artists post!

Also you can post any fics for the bi-weekly writing prompt after a new one goes up. Just make sure when you post your fic, you specify which one you used. And if its a birthday bi-weekly prompt, give a shout out to the appropriate person!
