I've spent the last few weeks ending my emails to lightofdaye in the same way: "Why are there so many fests going on right now?!" (As well as: "Boo-hoo! I spilled water on my laptop and now the keyboard has gone 50 shades of crazy ( Read more... )

Thanks for the pimp!

I was also wondering why so many fests started at once. But if it's because fandom is reviving, then I have absolutely no complaints! Especially if it means more claims for BITO!

I think it's another of those things that squicks me in RL and I love in fandom.
Same. I hesitated to start the comm because of that, but it seems to be doing alright!

Aww, no problem! I am very tempted to participate to the fest. Honestly, t's the one that inspires me the most, but I don't know if I'd be able to write something good atm. Also, writing for fests is always a bit of a pain for me, because I just want to write 100k words for the prompts that I like and that's usually unlikely to happen while I respect the timetable..

Hope many people are claiming prompts, though! And that the fest is a success!! I am looking forward to reading all the awesome entries.

Yes. This fandom is alive, no matter what the stats say. ❤

I was actually surprised by how many people prompted! It's not too active usually, but people do seem interested in the fest, which was a pleasant surprise. There's been nine claims so far (I think!) So, based off me thinking there was only going to be about 20 prompts, this is really good!

I understand the 100k thing as well. Mine is looking to be pretty long. :/

It is going great! Congratulations! :D So happy when a fest goes well and the mods are happy. It makes me happy too. :)

Browsing the prompts as I write.. I individuated two/three of them that really inspire me.. Ah, we'll see..

Daye is awesome, so he never once pointed out to me that I had already asked him that thing like ten thousand times

Probably no more or less times than I email you to go 'waaa! Can't write! Waa! Can't pick a prompt'. :p You're a saint putting up with me.

All these fests! Didn't realise quite how many until you listed them all out!

LMAO. Friendship goals.

See? Loads and loads.. I also needed a place where I could find them when I have time to browse the prompts.

Hey, do you like my title? HP = Harry Potter AND Hewlett-Packard. *g*

Putting all our conversations in one place: LOL! IKR? I was like, who's writing about Turkish Delight on my Tumblr? AND Uff, I never get notifications when I'm mentioned in a post.. Stupid LJ. What's wrong with you/me..

That's clever and does the same for everyone else! Most kind.

I hadn't realised it had two meanings!

LJ is so finicky sometimes. XD
