BB claiming has started

[ratherastory]

I'm a little surprised at how fast the claims started (how do people even have time to read all the summaries that fast?), but it's exciting.

And, well, if no one ends up claiming mine, then at least I won't be under all that pressure to fix the unholy mess that is my rough draft. *eyes silver lining determinedly*

Someone will claim it. I haven't looked over all the summaries, yet, but yours is likely fabulous and happily claimable!

I'm amazed at how quickly claims happened, too. It's increeeeeeeeedible.

Three pages in and I'm not even anyone's second choice. Oh well. Trying not to stress about it.

[bellatemple]

You did RPS, right? There's like a bajillion of those this year! It'll take a little while. . . .

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Maybe I scared them off with my mention of a brief het relationship. ;)

[bellatemple]

That would make me sad for the state of fandom.

Which, well, I am on a regular basis, anyway. ;D

I bet people don't read them all...just until they find one they like.
I'm sure someone will claim yours.

*sings* It's the most wonderful time of the year...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Mine's kind of buried toward the bottom, so if what you're saying is true, then I may not get claimed for a while, if at all...

*tries not to fret*

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

I'm totally astonished too. O___O and I'm sure someone will claim yours soon, and by the way I can't wait to find out which one it is. ;) and good luck editing! *talks one who has to fix a lot too even if it's way shorter*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

All will be revealed eventually! Or I can PM you the number if you're really curious.

The end of my BB is shamefully broken. *hangs head*

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

... I've never liked the word eventually ;) why not? *waits*

Well, if it consoles you I still haven't decided if I should cut a minor character or not. *hangs head with you*

I got claimed just now, so I feel safe in saying I'm #95. :)

[chiiyo86.livejournal.com]

I haven't been claimed yet either - I'm so nervous I can barely concentrate on doing anything... At least last year I was gone at school during claims, so I wasn't refreshing the page obsessively!

*clings*

[chiiyo86.livejournal.com]

Hey, I cruised through the summaries to distract myself, and I think I know which is yours! If I'm right, it also means you've been claimed. :)

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

Yours will be claimed, without question, and many artists who didn't choose your summary will be kicking themselves once they realize who wrote it.

ET point out that I went for commenting on two people's "no one has claimed me" posts and this one wasn't meant to be on yours. Though most of it still applies. Stop drinking cider, de_nugis. Even though it's Friday.

If it weren't that I am incapable of any artistic expression except ceramic renditions of spastic pagans getting eaten by lions I would totally claim your fic (if I knew which it was).

I am feeling kind of glad I dropped out. THIS LOOKS WAY TOO MUCH LIKE GYM CLASS.

You are the Shakespeare scholar of your generation.

I'm not sure what just happened, but thank you?

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

I tell you, you're right.

Mine was the first prompt on the first gen page and it was one of the LAST one claimed.

And yeah...that HURT.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Eeek! I just got off work! I'd better scoot on over there before I'm SOL...

[roque-clasique.livejournal.com]

I know exactly which fic is yours and if I were inclined towards illustrating RPS I'd be all over it! (A reason it may be taking longer is simply that your summary is longer than most; artists are probably in a bit of a frenzied summary-skimming panic and their eyes flit over the longer ones? Never fear -- someone will take it and it will be epic!)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I suck at short summaries. How do people do it? Meh.

Anyway, I did get claimed, so there we go.

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

Hey there! I am 100% sure yours will be picked before mine! But like I told roque_clasique, if we go unclaimed after 24 hours than all the really cool artists can pick a second one to to. So - it could be good not getting picked on the first day!

I can't wait to read your fic! I even plan to stock up on some Trader Joe's chocolate chips to snack on while I read it, and that's a treat I reserve for only the most highly anticipated wallows!
