last week: challenge amnesty!

[jedibuttercup]

15 drabbles were posted for challenge 117, lost in translation, in 13 crossover fandoms.

Thanks to kerravonsen, tvashti, faithburke, graycardinal, earcmacfithil, and jerseyfabulous for playing.

That gives us eight winners so far; but there's still a week left to participate! Which brings us to:

challenge amnesty week

For the last week of the 2012 Mod Birthday Competition, write exactly 100 or 200 words featuring your chosen Buffy or Angel-verse character(s) and some variation on one of the prompts listed below (all the challenges since 2008); use your imaginations! Any crossover is welcome, but please post each drabble behind a cut, declare your wordcount, and tag appropriately. That makes counting them up so much easier on your mod!

Two notes, on the cusp of the time change:

With the slightly belated item for #113, I think I'm actually at 4 of 6. Also, I will have more up before Sunday is over, but it may be mid-to-late Sunday evening before I get back to the keyboard.

[jedibuttercup]

I actually counted that one; and I clicked on your author tag just now to make sure I hadn't missed another. You only have 3, unless you forgot to tag one.

I doubt I'll actually close it up until tomorrow morning. Posting's been thinner than I expected this week.

[thwacks self on forehead]

You're right about the count having been 3/6; my brain was clearly on unauthorized vacation when I posted that. Now if the second "six degrees" post will just appear....

[graycardinal]

Also, I have evidently done something that has broken my ability to post to the comm; on one hand, the second half of the "six degrees" series doesn't seem to have uploaded, and on the other, I'm getting errors from LJ and Semagic suggesting that I have multiple posts queued up waiting to upload. Tired bear is confused....

Am going to bed, and will see what the state of things is when I wake up. (The drabbles *are* written, wherever in cyberspace they are and in however many iterations.)

[jedibuttercup]

LJ apparently has this thing now where it complains if you include certain things in a comm post (like outside links). I approved it as soon as I checked my email this morning. =)

[graycardinal]

[yawns, wakes up]

As indeed it told me...*after* you'd approved the post. If the [expletive deleted] system had just sent a message that said "your post is being held for moderator approval"...but no, that might actually be logical.

Anyhow: thank you for your patience with the sleep-deprived. :-/
