Eep!

Anyone know what happened to [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique? She's not gone forever, is she?

[identity profile] wave-obscura.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
She's super busy with school and shit and deleted her journal to keep herself away from LJ, but she's going to undelete it this Sunday. She posted about it some time last night.

Oh, good. She may have posted, but some of us missed it, clearly. I just about had a heart attack. ;)

[identity profile] wave-obscura.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Worry not, she hasn't left us. That would be super-duper sad :(

I wonder how long before people start flipping out on storyfinders...

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Really, really fast, I'm guessing.

I think I may take the lesson to heart and make copies of some of my favourites, though... If I could ever get over the heartbreak of her leaving us.

Good, if it ever happens I'll bug you for copies :P

And while I have you on the hook... was the cut-off to choose an ohsam challenge prompt yesterday or today?

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's today midnight. Go claim something! Just be warned that I am WAY behind on crossing stuff off the list, so you have to be careful. :)

[identity profile] wave-obscura.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah damn it, now I'm afraid to pick one. I tend to agonize over prompts so if I chose one and couldn't have it, I would be crushed. CRUSHED I SAY.

Any idea when you might get caught up crossing things off? No pressure :P

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, I'm sorry. I'm going to be working on that starting mid-morning (I have stuff to do before then, alas), and hopefully I'll be done by about noon. If you just look at the comments below the prompt, it should give you an idea of what's been claimed.

[identity profile] wave-obscura.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Noonish, huh? Well that still gives me twelve hours to choose a prompt. I think I can manage :D

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'm all caught up, or will be in the next ten minutes. Procrastinating on my other stuff? Me? Never!

Go claim!

thanks for the explanation. I was a little alarmed to see her deleted journal since I wasn't on LJ and didn't see her post

[identity profile] nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for this! Because I noticed that last night and had a moment of flail-y hands...

[identity profile] maypoles.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! ;D I had a bit of a freakout.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You and all of the h/c folks in fandom. I think I heard a collective "NOOOOOOOOO!" when people saw the strike-out in her name.

Poor Roque. She's going to get flooded when she gets back by half-crazed fangirls. ;)

[identity profile] jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Poor girl so hooked she has to go cold turkey to get anything done;)
I know she didn't mean to scare anyone though.

Too late. Half of fandom is freaking out. ;)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm hoping she'll go with "pleased." :)

[identity profile] jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
One would hope. Knowing her though....

[identity profile] sothcweden.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you so much for posting about this. I was worried when I saw her journal had been deleted, but I didn't know how to find anything out. ::mops brow::

[identity profile] mimblexwimble.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I was definitely concerned. And by concerned I mean panicked. And by panicked I mean out of my mind. :D

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
I think you speak for a significant chunk of fandom there. Poor Roque, she has NO IDEA the near-pandemonium she caused. It was a bit like yelling "Paul is dead!" in a crowded theatre. ;)

Heh. Of course you would get that reference. Beatles, FTW!

Oh yes!
