[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

Uhm. Maybe that'll teach me for suggesting horribly angsty and/pr pr0ny things. >.>

*offers you a scarf to stave off that icy wind that's hitting th back of our necks*

[busaikko]

Do you think I oughtn't to have asked for death fic? Perhaps not in the holiday spirit? *hums*

But I will be claiming as soon as I poke people with the pointy stick. *much easier to choose from 6 people instead of 50-odd!*

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

Oh, maybe that's it! I guess asking for at based off a ficlet where Remus commits suicide is decidely NOT in the holiday spirit. >.> Hahaha.

Ooo, a pointy stick!? :DDD

And even if we go unclaimed, think of all the delicious RS porn fanstuff that'll be coming soon! Omg, excited!

[busaikko]

Oh, yeah! Remus and Sirius can stuff my stocking anytime, babe! (A phrase which, if you really consider it, SCREAMS for an animated icon. *wishes she had talent*)

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

I suck at non-static icons, but here's some ridiculously meager offer since you're one of the best mods everrr. :DDD Um, if you want something different, just let me know. Or if you want me to leave you alone, let me know that, too. >.>

[busaikko]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

This TOTALLY rocks my socks. Man o man.

* the Snupin shippers on my flist are in for a shock.... *

THANK YOU

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

No problem! I was shocked such a stocking actually exists, though. Haha.

And don't go to war with the Snupin shippers! I'm a Snupin shipper, too! Or maybe I'm just a Remus/boy shipper. Because, you know, he's rather gay. XD

[busaikko]

busaikko has two OTPs: Remus/Severus and Remus/Sirius (and guess what her OT3 is?). I write in both, more or less equally, which is a problem for those who friend me for one but hate the other. They get terrible shocks in their in-boxes....

Oh, yah, Remus, well, I give him a workout every now and then *g*

[liseuse.livejournal.com]

I take it that if we get our fics in early, we can claim another prompt?




(Oh the false hope running through my veins!)

[busaikko]

Oh, yeah! As many as you like! Just so long as you turn one in before moving on to the next.

Whee!

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

Oh, what a magical number 53 is! *smirks*

There is one tiny error: you've put that sambethe has claimed sambethe, instead of such_heights.

^_^

[busaikko]

Ha-ha! *marks you down in my book as a person who reads fine print*

thanks for pointing that out!

[remeciel.livejournal.com]

Huh, I really don't understand, dear. I did claim magnetic_pole's prompt, right? *confused*
What do I need to do now?

[busaikko]

Well, you're signed up to give a gift (and Maggie is a lucky, lucky girl!), but not to get one. That's fine if that's what you want -- very self-effacing of you!

But if you wanted someone to give you a gift, let us know what your three wishes are, and someone will write or draw something for you.

((Really, let us know! You wouldn't want to know what kind of dreadful surprise you might get if, say, busaikko were left to run wild.))

love love
busaikko

[remeciel.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't mind not receiving any gift. I mean, I don't even know what kind of "wishes" I'd like to come true/to be written. *laughs*
I'll think about it, though. :)
But isn't it too late?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Hi, sweetie! As it turns out, of the 53 people involved, 52 requested something--you're the only one who didn't! So B. thought maybe you'd like something after all--no point in leaving one person out. Do whatever you'd like, but if you do want to place a request, do it sooner rather than later? (I think there are about two people left who still should claim, and Busaikko or I will nudge them to do so shortly.) Thanks! Maggie

[remeciel.livejournal.com]

I had no idea I could post a request. Definitely not used to ask anything. *laughs*.

I just posted it. :)

[sojisaanaru.livejournal.com]

Well, you spelled my name wrong in the first one, but that's okay. And I'll still do one, even if I don't get one in return. There are enough people *doing* this, that I'll find one and I can pretend it was for me. (I guess I was *too* vague with my requests, maybe?? Oh well.)

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Hi, there, Sojisaanaru! Let's keep our fingers crossed--there are still one or two more people who need to sign up. *hopes the system works out* Thanks for being such a good sport! Maggie

P.S. I think both you and Busaikko were both passed over because you added a comment to your own request and looked like you'd already been claimed--don't think it had anything to do with your request!

[passakiss.livejournal.com]

Yay! I can't wait. x)

But oh - I have a question. We are doing three small fics each, right? One for each of the prompts?

Yesterday I got all obsessive compulsive about it. Because suddenly I was very sure that I'd misunderstood, and we were actually suppose to incorporate all three in one...

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

No, no, no! Small gifts! Wee little stocking stuffers! You only need to do one short fic for one of the prompts--pick the one you like best, though if you want to incorporate more, I'm sure your recipient won't mind. (I suppose you could do more than one fic, too, but the point is to keep these short and easy and fun for everyone.) Good luck! Maggie

[passakiss.livejournal.com]

For real? xD;; Wow, that makes things a lot less complicated! -oblivious-

Thanks! ;D

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Much better, hm? *smile* M.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

M.

[closet-zebra.livejournal.com]

I've got really confused with this community. But I still REALLY want to be involved!! Gah. I need help. Who is left to claim?? I lost my computer for a few days! *CRIES*

[closet-zebra.livejournal.com]

Is it alright for me to claim sojisaanaru

[busaikko]

It certainly is, love! Sorry about the confusion: I live over here in Japan and didn't even think until yesterday that it was a holiday weekend for many people, who would be on highways and trapped in smoky dens with Uncle Joe and indigestion. Not the best of timing, and I apologise.

*dries your tears with love and snogs you under the mistletoe*

If you finish early, you are more than welcome to claim another -- we're just trying to make sure everyone gets at least one prezzie. Sojisaanaru is a lucky girl! (er--unless she's a boy? um.)

[closet-zebra.livejournal.com]

Well, lol. Not very lucky. They could have been much luckier I think.

But don't worry. I live in Wales in the UK so thanksgiving was non-exitant for me. hehe. I just got a bit lost cuz my net died.

[busaikko]

Oooh, Wales! I think you're the only person I know in Wales

*vows to remember you if ever I've characters skulking in Wales*

Dead net is no good: I hope it stays up through the holidays, they look to be very good!

[fleckedgold.livejournal.com]

It's so wrong that I want to fangirl whenever you just leave comments.
HAHA.

Sad.

-closet_zebra. (being to lazy to change from my RSC journal remus)

[muchabstracted.livejournal.com]

I believe this is the discrepancy:

Haven't claimed yet. Oi. (if you will be dropping out, please let us know ASAP. Does not add up: where's my mistake?))
closet_zebra CB sojisaanaru / C
jennuine CB suzene / C
maraudersaffair CB morwen_eleriel / C

...

morwen_eleriel CB maraudersaffair / C maraudersaffair

[busaikko]

Oh, bless you! This list-making-thing really makes my eyes water. Domo!

[kyasuriin.livejournal.com]

*waves* if you need anyone to write if anyone drops out, drop me a line :) I thought I would be too busy but I should be able to write something if you're in a pinch

[busaikko]

OooH! Would you be a darling and write for Remeciel? That would be just fantastic, as hers is the only unclaimed prompt.

Er. Though you don't have a prompt in. Do you mind? *Santa might find a way to stuff your stocking anyway, hint hint*

[kyasuriin.livejournal.com]

I don't mind at all, especially as I know she's a complete sweetheart :) and no worries about the prompt, that was part of my problem in signing up in the first place, lol. I'm awful at coming up with them!

[busaikko]

* heh! little did you realise you're standing under the mistletoe *

* kisses you dizzy *

Thank you so much! That's so sweet of you!

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm not quite there yet, but would be grateful if you could give us some more information about submission, like headings for our fics, etc. I'm also worried about how we can post to the comm without the posts being seen, but that's probably because I'm stupid! All the same, I'd really appreciate a few further guidelines.

^_^xx

[busaikko]

I just put up a post to address hese questions -- please let me know if it is unclear.

Re posting to the community: LiveJournal allows communities to monitor/censor postings by members (so that, for example, off-topic posts can be deleted before they go to the membership at large). All posts go to the community maintainer first, and he or she must click an 'I Approve' button for the posts to actually be posted and to become visible. By using this, Maggie and I will keep things in 'Limbo' until the Big Day Comes (and if, gods forbid, anyone submits Harry/Draco by mistake, we can block it. Ah, the power!)

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

and if, gods forbid, anyone submits Harry/Draco by mistake, we can block it.

Lol! :D No chance of sneaking in my Umbridge/Grawp then.

Thank you very much! I'll go and have a look. And thanks for explaining the intricacies of posting to a comm. It all sounds very daunting.

^_^xx

[busaikko]

Your Umbridge/Grawp? Yikes! I'm sure there is a market for that somewhere... where, I do not know... *gives you my 'ship from hell' icon ♥

Not daunting at all! You just post regularly -- all the technical stuff I'll make Maggie do *g*

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's a really lovely icon! Must go and write some P/S right now. :D

^_^xx

[busaikko]

Little do you know that I *make* people write Severus/Petunia for me. I have quite a collection of Petunia recs....

Feel Fear!

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

I do! *quakes* Just going to finish my Small Gifts fic now... *edges backwards out of door*

[busaikko]

Gah! Your icon scares me!

Maggie says you are worried about going over the word count -- the only reason we put a cap on it was so that people wouldn't stress! There is no point in stressing! So please don't stress about word count. What, like we will take the mod-stick and poke you: 'This! These 150 words describing adorable kissing and snuggling by Remus and Sirius in front of the fire! Too much--they must go!' *snort* Mind you, I would be *happier* without those 500 words you added describing the OMG-OTP-WTF Unbridge/Grawp love, but hey, artisitc licence *goes off to cry into oatmeal*

Bottom line: No stress! We love you! *hugs you* Come to the dark side!

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks! I didn't want to keep pestering you on site... There's no porn, sadly, but no Umbridge/Grawp either! And I can kid myself that your header easily added the extra 200 words. :D

Actually, I've stressed less about this than any fic for ages, as it got itself done fast and happily, thanks to an inspiring prompt! When I can actually bear to let it go, I'll send it along. But I still have an irrational fear that I'll post it and it will show up on the comm where it shouldn't, and I'll panic and try and delete it... You can tell my technical LJ experience hasn't always been a happy one. Seriously, I trust you and Maggie to get it all right!

I won't give you the really scary icon! Here's a nice Pokememon instead.

^_^xx

[busaikko]

Well, have you seen any of the Small Gifts fics and art that are already posted? (er--hope not *bites nails*) They are in queue!.

Pokemon! I just spent 4900 yen on Diamond for the DS today (Xmas gift, gah!). Pokemon are darned expensive....

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

Ouch, I spelt Pokemon wrong! But it was about 6 in the morning here when I wrote that.

Pokemon are darned expensive....

Pokemon have to be the greatest money-spinners on earth for someone! Wish it was me... :(

No, I haven't seen any fics or art yet. Just paranoid! :D It's like screened posts. And if lots of other people are sending theirs in, I'd better get on with it too.

^_^xx
